There is going to be a Terminator TV series, set between "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" and "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", following the exploits of Sarah & John Connor:
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 don't know what to make of this, finding out what happened to the Connors between T2 & T3 sounds interesting...but i've got a bad feeling telling me that this is going to be complete shite...
Why can't they just leave it is a brilliant movie series, why cheapen it with a crappy TV spin off? :/
