That's according to Tom Arnold

Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to have the pick of Hollywood now that he’s left office and is looking to return to the movies.

But could he opt for True Lies 2 as his big screen comeback? True Lies co-star Tom Arnold thinks the Austrian Oak would be mad not to.

Why? Well, Arnold’s read the script for the blockbuster sequel - which has been scripted by James Cameron and White Collar scribe Jeff Eastin – and thinks it’s ace.

“I have read a great True Lies 2 script,” Arnold tells Movie Web , “and I hope we are able to do it. Knock on wood. Arnold Schwarzenegger is excited. I am excited.

“We have both read the script. There is a script that James Cameron and a guy named Jeff Eastin, who created the TV show White Collar , wrote. It is really great.

“Jim can’t direct it. But he can produce it. We hope it gets done. We have a few fun things we want to do. I am supposed to remain cool about this. For me, it would be a lot of fun to work with the guys again.”

No word if Jamie Lee Curtis would be interested in reprising her role as Arnie’s wife, or if Eliza Dushku will return as his daughter (and a potential new ass-kicking heroine).

While this could all just be wishful thinking on Arnold’s part, a sequel to 1994's spy thriller could be an exciting prospect.
