Harry Knowles tracked down James Cameron himself to get to the bottom of the True Lies 2 rumors floated yesterday by the original film's co-star Tom Arnold. "I think Tom was joking," Cameron replied. "[S]ince September 11, I've never felt comfortable generating laughs with nuke-toting Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. True Lies, even though it has a cautionary thread underneath the pratfalls, is in a strange way a product of a more innocent time. But if we ever do another True Lies, I wouldn't dream of doing it without Tom. He's a good friend and a very funny guy." Unless you're the New York Times, in which case he's probably enjoyed his last profile for a while. [AICN]
