After the success of the film "True Lies" (a film that many people call the last successful in Arnold Schwarzenegger's career), few doubted that this project will certainly continue. The brilliant acting duo of Iron Arnie and Jamie Lee Curtis final tango clearly put not a dot, but an ellipsis

And there really was such a project. Cameron was going to make a sequel. I do not know how he negotiated with Arnold, who never liked to appear in the proceedings. But, perhaps, after the success of the second "Terminator" confidence in Cameron was high. Moreover, he gave the idea of the film "True Lies" to Cameron himself
It was interesting to choose a screenwriter for the sequel. If for the original film the script was written by Cameron himself (and it turns out very well for him), then this time he decided to entrust the plot for the continuation to another. And who would you think? Quentin Tarantino! (I would have thought this scenario thinking and action, and there was enough humor)

As far as I heard, in 2000 the script was almost ready. In it, naturally there was a place and Arnie ("True lie" without Schwarzenegger that Rambo without Stallone), and Jamie Lee Curtis (although the role of Helen Tasker in it was already more of a second plan, the wife should not overshadow the brilliance of her husband superhero) , and Tom Arnold with Bill Paxton. Filming was planned for 2001. But they never began ...
Why? Prichna one. September 11, 2001. All of you remember what happened that day. To shoot a romantic comedy about international terrorism after all that happened, Cameron could not. And put on the project a fat cross
It is true that in 2010 there were rumors of an attempt to resurrect it (mostly they came from Tom Arnold), but then the rumors did not go away
