On Screen

e Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN February 25 - March 3, 2023 — 3 By Jay Bobbin Almost 30 years later, one of Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron's top movie hits is becoming a television series ... and that's the truth. The seriocomic adventure "True Lies" premieres in its week- ly form Wednesday, March 1, on CBS and Paramount+, basically remaking the 1994 film as the opening episode. Steve Howey ("Shameless," "Reba") assumes Schwarzenegger's role as Harry Tasker, a super-spy whose wife Helen (Ginger Gonzaga of "She- Hulk: Attorney at Law," inherit- ing Jamie Lee Curtis' earlier part) believes he's a mild-mannered computer salesman. Once she learns what his real job is, she's enlisted by his intelligence agen- cy, and they frequently travel the world on missions – while trying to prevent their children (Anna- bella Didion, Lucas Jaye) from finding out. "It's the hardest job I've had yet," states the good-humored Howey, who has no illusions about possibly being mistaken for Schwarzenegger as he generates his own "True Lies" under the leadership of executive prodicer Matt Nix ("Burn Notice"). "This experience has taught me a lot about having an idea and then executing it," Howey reflects, "because that doesn't always pan out. Every episode of this gets better. And we get more tired." An alum of CBS' "Showcase" talent search, the lively Gonzaga knows "True Lies" also is a big showcase for her. She notes she feels "guilty" that she didn't see the movie before landing the TV job: "I didn't want to be influenced by Jamie Lee's iconic performance. And then, I had to buy the DVD off eBay ... and a DVD player. It was a whole 'thing.' " With Omar Miller ("CSI: Miami"), Erica Hernandez and Mike O'Gorman also featured, "True Lies" has been in devel- opment for TV since 2010, and Gonzaga reasons that it's "good that it's been a while." Since Cameron also had other commit- ments (including the now-Os- car-nominated "Avatar: The Way of Water"), his longtime associate Rae Sanchini had more firsthand involvement in the casting; Tom Arnold, of the original movie, is a guest star on the show. Being built for action, "True Lies" can put its stars at risk, as Howey learned close to the end of filming the first season. TBA. From Enterprise Center in Saint Louis, Mo.
