Fox Oks Terminator Pilot (Cult Tv Boards)

QUOTE

Fox has committed to a pilot for a Terminator-themed TV show tentatitvely titled The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Variety reported. Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar's C2 Pictures, which produced Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, has struck a deal wiith Warner Brothers Television and writer Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds) for the series, which will focus on Sarah Connor and her savior son, John Connor, the trade paper reported.

Fox declined to comment to the trade paper about the project, which attracted serious interest from several networks.

Friedman is aboard to write the pilot and serve as executive producer-show runner of the series, which would take place in the fictional time frame between the second and third Terminator movies. Vajna and Kassar will serve as executive producers, with C2 senior vice president of development James Middleton also producing.

Meanwhile, Vajna confirmed to Variety that C2 is in "the final phases of development" of a fourth Terminator movie, and the series will have a link to what's being envisioned as a new feature trilogy.

Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in the first two Terminator movies, is not expected to be involved in the show. And because the series will be focused on the Connor family, it's not anticipated that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played the title character in the films, would be a regular part of the series either.

Middleton said the series will explore what happened to Sarah Connor after the end of T2, when the character went on the run.

that sounds interesting if they do it right and the same goes for Terminator 4, 5, 6, again if they do it right. I wonder what plots they could have in order to keep the TV series running? :ponder: I'll be surprised if this lasts more than two seasons or in fact if its renewed for a second season.

without a terminator (once in a while), i am not sure the serie will go far :ponder:
