I'm a huge supporter of Terminator Salvation and what McG did for that movie. The behind-the-scenes Bluray footage showed his true passion when making that movie. So I wouldn't discredit him if he wants to make this TV series.

Let's bring back Eliza Dushku and get a digital release for the original and it's all good.

Now moving to CBS. They officially ordered a Pilot.
Matt Nix, the creator of Burn Notice, is writing it. McG is directing the Pilot. Cameron is producing. This thread is 4 years old now and this development has gone through 2 different phases.

CBS has given a pilot order to the project, from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix, McG and Cameron. 20th Television is the studio.
The True Lies pilot was written by Nix and will be directed by McG. In it, shocked to discover that her bland and unremarkable computer consultant husband is a skilled international spy, an unfulfilled suburban housewife is propelled into a life of danger and adventure when she’s recruited to work alongside him to save the world as they try to revitalize their passionless marriage.
Nix executive produces via his Flying Glass of Milk Productions, McG and Mary Viola via McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision, Cameron and Rae Sanchini via Lightstorm Entertainment.
Bringing True Lies to television has been a longtime passion for McG. He started pursuing the idea in 2016, shortly after he signed an overall deal with 20th TV, whose sister feature studio produced the movie. The following year, a TV series reboot with Marc Guggenheim as a writer sold to Fox with a put pilot commitment. It did not go beyond the script stage but McG continued his efforts. In a 2019 interview, he indicated that a True Lies TV series could still happen, possibly at Disney+.
Last year, McG was tapped as director and executive producer of 20th TV’s series reboot of another popular movie, Turner & Hooch, for Disney+, created and executive produced by Nix. The two hit it off and partnered on True Lies. Their pitch landed at CBS last fall.

It's pretty obvious being developed at CBS it's going to be a weekly mission of week show.

This is a property where I don't get, why they choose to lean on the name. Just make a generic spy/family man show. True Lies is a great movie, but the story isn't that unique.

I don’t care how terrible this is. If it gets the movie released on UHD or shit even BD, it’ll be worth it.

Even though some people don't like that this is on CBS, at least Matt Nix is a decent writer and can make fun shows. Burn Notice for example, The Good Guys and The Gifted.
We'll see who they cast as the husband and wife. I think casting and chemistry will be key for this to work.

As long as it doesn't have to cross over with Magnum, MacGuyver, Seal Team or SWAT.

‘Shameless’ Alum Steve Howey to Star in ‘True Lies’ Pilot at CBS (EXCLUSIVE)
Steve Howey has been cast in one of the lead roles in the CBS drama pilot based on the movie “True Lies,” Variety has learned exclusively.
Howey will star as Harry, the role played in the film by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The character is described as a benign, play-it-safe, seemingly risk-averse computer salesman and devoted family man, married with two kids. But in reality, Harry is an undercover operative, a first-class spy working for a covert U.S. Intelligence organization.
Like the film, Harry’s unfulfilled suburban wife is propelled into a life of danger and adventure when she’s recruited to work alongside him to save the world as they try to revitalize their passionless marriage. The wife role, which was played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the film, has yet to be cast.

His ex is Sarah Shahi.
I don't know if he can carry a show.

He was hilarious and one of the best characters on Shameless. I think he’s a good choice and deserving of a starring vehicle.

A TV show in development for 11 years? Wow, that's an eternity for television.
And what a weird property to mine. That is a movie with (almost intentionally) close to zero recognition in popular culture these days.

If they were to give this proper treatment, it should air on Hulu not CBS. What show would this bump in the CBS line up?
