Giving the world its first chance ever to feel allegiance to Tom Arnold, Fox has started development on a True Lies television reboot. The network has reportedly given “a sizable put-pilot commitment” to the project, with Green Lantern and Arrow writer Marc Guggenheim set to write the script. James Cameron, writer and director of the 1994 original, has come on as an executive producer.
