I love the film True Lies, with its perfect
blend of comedy, action, plot, actors, and Tom Arnold. This is the film
that brought Tom Arnold into the spotlight [if you don't count Rosanne].
I have always hoped for a sequel to this film, but now it seems that the
best optioin is either a special edition DVD, or the upcoming film The
Kid and I.
The Kid and I Re-Unites True Lies Gang
Before I begin, if you were wondering why they would not make a sequel to
True Lies, it seems that the events of 9/11 have put a damper on finding
comedy in terrorism and jihad.
Arnold/Governor Schwarzenegger first announced the film on the "Best
Damn Sports Show Period," a show that has Tom Arnold as one of its
hosts. The film, The Kid and I, will feature Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis
[maybe only a cameo], and Tom Arnold. The film, directed by Penelope Spheeris
[Wayne's World], centers on an actor played by Tom Arnold and a
teen stricken with cerebral palsy who dreams of starring in an action film.
Besides the True Lies veterans, Linda Hamilton [Terminator] and Joe Mantegna
[who has such an interesting portfolio, I wouldn't know where to begin]
will also appear in The Kid and I.
While I hope that sometime down the road, James Cameron and the original
True Lies crew [Paxton says no way] take a risk by going after
True Lies 2, it seems the next full action film we should count
on seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger in is Terminator 4 [in discussions]. |
