True Lies: preview

Remember True Lies, the 1994 movie that for many years was the best Bond film that wasn't a Bond film? Well now it's a TV series. But with some familiar faces involved, it looks to straddle the line between 'homage' and 'something new' nicely.

Indeed, star Steve Howey (who plays Harry Tasker, the role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original film) was keen to distance himself from the 1994 film that inspired the series.

"We're not going to do the Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis movie, it's a classic that stands alone," he told ScreenRant. "We're doing something else and we're doing our own thing, but that's based in that system."

But with the original film's director James Cameron acting as executive producer, and original cast member Tom Arnold set to make an appearance, maybe the link between old and new won't be completely severed.

For the uninitiated, True Lies follows Harry and Helen Tasker (played by Ginger Gonzaga), a seemingly normal, boring suburban couple whose lives are turned upside down by two revelations. The first? That Helen is having an affair. The second is that Harry is an international spy, terrorist-slayer and all round man of mystery, not the tedious computer consultant that Helen believes him to be.

What will happen once these revelations are out in the open? Will they stay together? And will it be as good as the original film? We'll find out on 1st March when the series starts on CBS and Paramount+. Travelling abroad? You can watch True Lies from wherever you are using a VPN.
