The Sarah Connor Chronicles :: Franchise Terminator
Posted by: delusional in EntertainmentIt can’t be bargained with, can’t be reasoned with and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead…
…and even then it will probably come back and pump the still-warm corpse of a once great franchise.
That’s right, they are going to mug the Terminator franchise again. This time it’s for a TV series inspiringly entitled “The Sarah Connor Chronicles”. The series covers events between Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Although it appears to be set in 2007 rather than 1997, John Connor is 15 years old (work that one out!).
None of the principal cast from the movies will be involved in this production and likewise no writers. It also appears that James Cameron has no association with the Chronicles.
Linda Hamilton’s role as Sarah Connor is now taken up by Lena Headey (33) who could, in my opinion, really do with pulling some weights, even if only to improve her arms, if she’s going to fill the hard-woman role of Sarah successfully.
John Connor will be played by Thomas Dekker (19)
This series has such incredible potential to be utter rubbish that it is hard to see how it can succeed.
As of today, a pilot episode has been produced and Fox has ordered 13 episodes.
The Terminator is out there…
…at least it was until late yesterday but it appears that Warner Bros. Television has rushed around making Youtube et al take down the official trailer to the extent that I can’t find it anywhere now. Perhaps even they are thinking this series could be ill-advised. When I watched the trailer, I had to do so with the sound off (at work). However, I lip read one of the characters uttering the phrase “Come with me if you want to live” which at least put a smirk on my face 
There are some clips which I am yet to watch (at work again) over at IGN but the official trailer is absent.
