A reboot of the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger action film True Lies is currently being developed at FOX.

The network has greenlit an hour-long pilot of the revamp, which will be produced by original writer/director James Cameron, McG and Marc Guggenheim, as Deadline reports.

McG, who directed Charlie's Angels and Terminator Salvation, will direct the pilot, and Guggenheim, who developed Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, will write the script.

Jon Landau, Rae Sanchini and Mary Viola will also serve as executive producers on the reboot.

A True Lies reboot has been in development from McG and 20th Century Fox TV since the previous TV season. McG has previously worked on Fox's Lethal Weapon reboot and The O.C.

True Lies earned $378.9 million upon its original release, but never received a sequel.

No word on if Schwarznegger or co-star Jamie Lee Curtis will want any involvement in the reboot series.

Laugh as much as you want at 'Armageddon,' but seeing Bruce Willis say one last goodbye to his daughter and save the world brings tears to my eyes every time.
'Speed' never stops moving and has Dennis Hopper in perfect form.
Nic Cage as Castor Troy is really the only reason anyone needs to see 'Face/Off.' That, and doves. Lots and lots of doves.
John McClane taking on Hans Gruber's relative? Yes, please. 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is another great edition to the franchise.
'Independence Day' was a pillar in absurd, but addictively enjoyable '90s action films. Randy Quaid is my hero.
An engaging, fun plot? Kathryn Bigelow behind the camera? And Patrick Swayze as the one and only, Bodhi? 'Point Break' is '90s action movies in a bottle.
From start to finish, 'Con Air' is probably the most action-packed '90s film that features a beautifully maniacal John Malkovich and a hilariously campy Nic Cage as Cameron Poe.
One of the best sequels ever to be created. 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' is another testament to James Cameron's sequel skills.
'True Romance' may be unexpected, but its a great first screenwriting run from Quentin Tarantino and displays some awesome characters, specifically Gary Oldman as the creepy as hell Drexl Spivey.
'The Rock' is hands down the best action film of the '90s. Michael Bay made a popcorn flick masterpiece with this film. Green Flares!
