Terminator: The TV Series

Well, there seems to be an attempt to make up for Sarah Connor's cop-out absence in Terminator 3... Once of cinemas all-time greatest kick-ass heroines is getting her own TV series. Of course, it won't be the same without Linda Hamilton, and film-to-TV adaptations have as bad a track record as film-to-game adaptations, but I thought it was interesting enough news for Terminator fans like myself.

I just have the horrible feeling it will be week after week of cyborgs being sent back to wipe out Sarah and John Connor, before the leading lady pegs from cancer.

Sarah Connor Chronicles Gets the Green Light

Warner Bros. TV has set David Nutter to direct the pilot for "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," prompting Fox Broadcasting to officially greenlight production on the "Terminator"-themed project.

Nutter, whose last 12 pilots have all been picked up to series, also will serve as executive producer. Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar's C2 Pictures, which produced the most recent "Terminator" feature, is producing with Warner Bros. TV.

Fox made a put pilot commitment to "Connor" last fall, picking up the script from executive producer Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds). Kassar and Vajna will also executive produce.

Casting on "Connor" will begin immediately, with filming expected to commence early next year in New Mexico.

Nutter -- who directed the pilots of successes such as "Smallville," "Without a Trace" and "Supernatural" -- has a connection with original "Terminator" helmer James Cameron, having directed the pilot for Cameron's Fox series "Dark Angel."

The new installment in the "Terminator" franchise revolves around Connor and her savior son, John Connor. The series will explore what happened to Sarah Connor after the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, when the character went on the run.

I'll give it a chance but I see it as one of those series that starts off well but then gets repetitive.

I really hope they get the casting right, and that they go for personality instead of some up-and-coming hottie. That's crucial.
