Author Topic: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Read 6255 times)

AshKetchum · « **on:** Mar 20, 2007 at 08:41 AM »

Currently in development for FOX TV is a pilot/possible TV series called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which follows the events after the Terminator 2: Judgement Day movie. Lena Headey (300) has been cast as Sarah, while Thomas Dekker (Heroes) is playing the teenage John Connor. The series is produced by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, who were producers of the Terminator films.

This should be interesting--according to the producers, they're also making a 4th Terminator movie, and this series will somehow connect to that movie, as well as provide links to the 3rd movie, Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines.

Firefly's Summer Glau and The Nine's Owain Yeoman are both signed up for the pilot.

The pilot is already available. Any thoughts?

Just finished watching the pilot. David Nutter (Traveler) directed a very suspenseful pilot. Although Lena Headey could not live up to Linda Hamilton's intense incarnation of Sarah Connor, her take on the character is more suitable for the medium of television.

When these two started kicking ass, I was euphoric especially for Summer since she's underused in The 4400.

Not a fan of the Terminator movies pero whoa! May sumabog and barilan in the first five minutes? On my TV screen? I'm sold!

Felt big-budgetted for a TV series. Hope it delivers.

It was acquired by Solar. I'm guessing it'll probably be on Crime/Suspense in the very near future.

Seen this at MAXXX's "The feed" and I'm not impressed, The only Endo Flick I know is Terminator & T2: Judgement Day

what is it with james cameron sequels, that hollywood has to botch up a perfect sequel with a lame-o third arc. i.e, t2: judgment day with t3; rise of the machines. aliens with the downer alien 3.
now they come up with this series to further confuse the terminator mythology.

I was able to watch only the un-aired pilot episode. Did they remove the shooting scenes in the school?

Agree with T3 but only that it was unnecessary. Other than that, it was an OK piece of work by Mostow. The chase scenes there are the kind of action eyecandy I like. There's a real sense of danger. Makes Michael Bay look like Baldo Marro. Kinda wished Schwarzenegger played the villain though. The first Terminator is still the best of the bunch. T2 was a little overproduced.

Alien 3 though I keep recommending to everyone who ignored it. David Fincher got crucified for this by geeks planetwide but I personally think he didn't deserve the flak. Flawed for sure but well worth a rewatch, if only for that sense of dread. Interesting script by Vincent Ward, who made the terrific and underrated time travel adventure The Navigator. Parts of it I like far better than both Ridley Scott's and James Cameron's Aliens.

A handsome John Connor and a very beautiful Sarah Connor (and she's getting more lovely every episode).

this begins airing at c/s and rpn tonight at 9pm, for anyone who's interested.

The classroom shooting scene was shown during the premiere last Monday.

Ohnga, nag-time travel pa sila (Sarah, John & Cameron) from 1999 to the present...doon nawalan sila ng damit (just as in the Schwarzenegger Terminator movies) . What a treat for fanboys.

Kelan kaya lalabas ang DVD nito? I'm not particularly fond of watching TV series because of advertisement interruptions..

All 9 HDTV episodes of the recently concluded season 1 are available in public torrent sites. 1.1GB per episode. Why wait for standard def DVD if you can watch it in 720p with no commerical interruption din?

I hate downloading kasi.. I just like to buy the real thing for keeps.. I might buy the Blu-ray version if indeed this will be release in HD..

Well hopefully the BD version would be out soon but in case you are in the vicinity of Pasig, my wife is returning to Manila sa first week of June with her 500GB external drives filled with new HD contents.. You may bring 3 blank DVD-Rs at my place sa Pasig and I'll copy you the 9 episodes...free...spread the high def blessings kahit papaano..he he he

Cant wait for the 2nd season. Hopefully it comes back kahit medyo mababa rating towards the end of the 1st season.

No problem but to maximize the high def experience, you have to be patient not to watch any episode until 8 June, then marathon the entire season1 in 720p

Is this still connected to T3? Wasn't it set around 2004? And this series is on 2007.

From IMDB FAQs

How is Terminator 3 related to this series?
It isn't. Sarah Connor Chronicles will be a reboot of the Terminator universe's continuity, starting from where Terminator 2 left off. Series creator Josh Friedman says that the reason for this is that Sarah Connor is a vital component of the series, and her absence from T3 was a major factor in fans not taking to it. He describes SCC as an alternate timeline.

Dowals · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 26, 2008 at 02:06 PM »

in the trilogy, T3 was supposedly the first re-appearance of a terminator from the T2 timeline.

John was way older ion T3 than in the current TV series
