Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator TV Series)

Headey Reveals Connor Chronicles

Lena Headey, who stars in the Fox SF drama pilot The Sarah Connor Chronicles, told SCI FI Wire that the show will begin with a confrontation between Headey's title character; her son, John Connor (Heroes' Thomas Dekker); and two new Terminators: a female model, played by Serenity's Summer Glau, and a male one, which she called Cromartie, played by Owain Yeoman. One is good and one is bad; she didn't say which is which. (Glau's character is named Cameron, an apparent nod to Terminator franchise creator James Cameron.)

The pilot, which picks up the story from the end of the feature film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, begins in the desert, and "it ends with them landing in L.A., having run and escaped. Or maybe not," Headey said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on March 3.

"We just finished [shooting]," Headey (300) said. "We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now. But I learned to shoot many weapons and how to recognize a Terminator. So it was a good experience."

The pilot "begins, and it's them basically running, hiding, trying to live," Headey said. "Trying to carve out a normal life for themselves, but always being watched and trying to locate Skynet, trying to stop [it]. But there are many, many issues in their way."

First Photo for The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The first photo for the Sarah Connor Chronicles has popped online via a Foreign Fansite. Not terribly exciting but the first pic none the less. Besides starring in Frank Miller’s highly stylized and exciting new epic "300," Lena Headey is caught in a war that will come to television with FOX’s "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," the TV series spun from the "Terminator" mythology. There has been much speculation about when, where, and how the show would be starting. Though it’s been established that it would take place after "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," there’s still a lot of questions out there regarding the exact setup for the timeline and mythos.

Headey commented to Sci Fi Wire about the show’s general premise; "It's them basically running, hiding, trying to live. Trying to carve out a normal life for themselves, but always being watched and trying to locate Skynet, trying to stop [it]. But there are many, many issues in their way." She also said that they just finished filming; "We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now." She says that, but with all the buzz around it, and the rise of "Terminator 4" talk, this series has a better shot than most with an established fanbase to stand on.

She also spoke a little about how exactly it will begin, attempting to clear up some of that mystery. Apparently, the pilot will begin with a confrontation of some kind between her character Sarah Connor, son and soon-to-be savior of mankind John Connor, and two new terminators; one male and one female. The male terminator will be played by Owain Yeoman of the failed series, "The Nine." The female will be named Cameron, which harkens to the "Terminator" origin, its writer/director/producer James Cameron, and may hint that this is the good terminator (though Headey did not specify which would be the villain), and she will be played by Summer Glau, star of the all too short-lived FOX series "Firefly" and the movie based on the cult sensation Joss Whedon series "Serenity."

There’s more than enough going on here to spark interest for a season at least, and if they do it right and stay true to elements that made "Terminator" a cult sci-fi/action classic, then fans could be able to enjoy elements such as the strong and toughened Sarah Connor and the future gone awry with one great chance for a hero story that twists in time-space continuum circles that sweep us up in the apocalyptic chaos, and all this on a weekly basis. Seriality is all the rage right now, and if they can make "Chronicles" something that sucks us in and keeps us coming back for more, then this could be the next great sci-fi show, but some might call that great expectations this early in the game.

These Cyborgs are tought to beat!

Sometimes messiahs can't handle the burden.

Ooh! Nice Timing!

Executive producers Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”), David Nutter (“Supernatural,” “Smallville”) and C2 Pictures (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) bring to television an intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the “Terminator” movies: Sarah Connor.

At the end of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” Sarah vanquished the liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment.

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey, “The Brothers Grimm,” “300”) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he’s told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to CAMERON (Summer Glau, “Serenity,” “The Unit”), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante – she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones, “Judging Amy”), who soon becomes a powerful ally.

Directed by David Nutter and produced by Warner Bros. Television and C-2 Pictures, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting reinvention of the “Terminator” franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.
