The show was announced at the Mipcom conference in Cannes by FremantleMedia North America who have tasked Stargate Sg-1 and Sanctuary scribe Damian Kindler with bringing it to the small screen; and Allen Shapiro and Craig Baumgarten, who produced the original movie, are signed on as executive producers.
Of course this isn’t the first time Universal Soldier has been on TV, actor Matt Battaglia previous brought Van Damme’s Luc Devereaux character to life in two made for TV movies – Universal Soldier 2: Brothers in Arms...

#1 James Cameron to redo “The Fantastic Voyage”
Now don’t be getting too excited because there’s no news that Cameron will direct the project but Variety does report that Cameron is producing the film and from what I can gather, the project (and a few more to follow) is an effort to make use and money from the expensive technology he spent years prepping for Avatar.
