Learn Who Plays Sarah Connor Opposite Fox's TV Terminator!!
I am – Hercules!!
It’s Bermuda-born Britisher Lena Headey, she of “Aberdeen,” “The Cave” and “Brothers Grimm” fame!
Still, you may never see Headey play the title role in “The Sarah Connor Chronicles”; it's only a Fox pilot at this point.
Remind yourself of what she looks like here.

First! And I love T2, but this is just a bad idea for a TV series. Come up with something original!
-
...ass ugly tattoos? But seriously...who cares? This show sounds like a terrible idea. If it were the 90's it would have been part of the syndicated Action Pack and appear back to back with CLEOPATRA 2525. "In the year 2525, If man is still alive, If woman can survive, They may find." Ah, Zager and Evans, masters of the scentence fragment...
-
I mean, what a new terminator is sent back each week like an endless stream of futuristic robotic Wile E. Coyotes...
-
There will still be a dvd set of this show no matter what.
-
... at the presentation of the new footage from Zack Snyder's 300. She plays the queen opposite Gerard Butler, and they make a very tasteful beast with two backs in one of the sequences they showed us.
Still think she's extra-hairy, though. -
might be watching this show with my mate fred in my hand
-
"skynet sent five hundred and thirty terminators back through time"
-
You don't go and tell peeps you saw a chick nekkid and not give us links. It's just not very considerate. ;) On the flipside, 300 has a bit more of a draw right now.
-
or a mirkin? If so, I applaud her dedication to her craft and if she's just plain hairy, then the filthy cow repulses me.

This is what my boss would call 'a personal bugbear'. Someone needs to sit down with these Hollywood executypes and explain that prequels do not work. Not ever. They are inert dramatically. They pointlessly fill in blanks that are much better left to our imaginations. They, to use the parlance of our times, suck. If they want to 'expand the Terminator brand' into television, that's fine, but why like this? Other than what we've seen in the first two films, is there really anything more we need to know about Sarah Connor's life before she died? Here's an idea: why don't they invent a new story? You know, one where we don't already know what happens. They have a pretty decent universe to work with - war between man and machines, time travelling robots, possibly even a talking pie. Surely there's some new material to be mined from that. I think if they gave it a try, they could come up with something pretty good, and I think it would be good for their self esteem, like doing situps in the morning.
-
I will give it a chance , would be nice if a team of male and female terminators were sent back at the same time...new improved terminators with personality chips and one of them makes friends with her and falls in love and then takes on the other terminator..the twist would be its the female terminator who falls in love and the lesbian duo have to kill the male terminator...it would be the best damn tv sho..ok that would suck forget it.
-
optimus. You're covering the lesbian angle, as well as a new way for us to look at inter-racial relationships (if robot on human counts as inter-racial). It's a Romeo and Juliet (okay, Juliet and Juliet) type of thing - key figures on each side of the war, brought together by love and an appreciation for the boobs. I take back what I said earlier - this is a show I would like to see. I'd like to suggest Sherilyn Fenn for Terminesbian role.
-
Bloody hell - way to ruin a joke. I'd like to suggest Sherilyn Fenn for 'the' Terminesbian role. Well, any Terminesbian role for that matter. Ah, what the heck, a non-robot, Humanesbian role would work, too.
-
Doesn't Sara Conner die a good deal before the whole skynet blows up the world and unleashes the Terminators deal? Wasn't that the whole point of skynet sending Arnold back in time in the first place? What exactly is this show going to be about? Sara hanging out in Mexico drinking tequila and doing pullups?
-
yeah I hope so!
-
I want to see it. It's going to be Sara hanging out in Mexico drinking tequila and doing pullups!
-
just what if! Let's not shoot the mtoherfucker down before it's even been made. It could be the new BSG for all we know.
-
People who bitch about prequels are using Star Wars as reference, forgetting that George Lucas is a gi-normous hack, has always been a gi-normous hack, and will always be a gi-normous hack. Now, Terminator III may have been one long, long, long action sequence, but it still kicked the ass of the crappy prequels, in every possible way, so I'm going to predict this becomes the next big television show and hopefully will be placed on Wednesdays against Lost, and steal viewers away from that show... which will mean that Lost starts getting creative and fun again, and not being so god-damn redundant.
-
...and not in the extra-hairy in the way that Mediterranean type gals can pull off. Dark, yet sexy... She's more dark, yet coughing like a cat after a little Moral Oral... On a lighter note, are all Baldwin's (save the non-related Adam Baldwin) insane?

Chilli815, I'm more interested in the Star Wars Tv show
by talkbacker with no name
and how great would it be if Jar Jar had a spin off show! It could be like the wookie segment in the Star Wars Hoilday Special! hehehehe
"People out there, sad geeks in here. Weesa all talking shit and no life. Whena yousa thinking we are in trouble?" -
But whose going to run it? There's a lack of good sci-fi writers as it is, let alone people who can run a show and break stories. Besides, competing with BSG at this point is pretty fucking crazy.
-
you talking about Star Wars or Terminator now? If it's the latter then Cameron producing it would give some hope. But that won't happen. Give it to Mori to write!

Looks okay to me. She has some big ass tattoos on her back and right arm thoug.. I wonder how they will deal with those.. -
The same way they do with all tattoos on actors - make up, my friend.
-
just set the show in the future?
Show the actual war against the machines and the eventual victory in like 4 seasons or so? If it lasted that long that is.
That way there's no retarded sending of terminators back through time every episode. -
Heh. I'm not convinced. Not him, or JJ Abrams, or anyone not named Ron Moore, but I wouldn't want him to leave BSG. Truth be told, I don't think anyone available can pull off a Star Wars show.
-
I'm not just talking about the Star Wars, I'm talking about all prequels. I cannot think of one single prequel that worked as a satisfying story. You've got your Godfather II, but that's more of a sequel with flashbacks. You could maybe go for Temple Of Doom, but the 'prequel' aspect of that is so vague it might just as well be a straight sequel. I think these producers are going to be in an uphill fight to make this Sarah Connor series with any actress other than Linda Hamilton, and they're also saddled with the dramatic nowhereland of the prequel. That's two hefty strikes against them before they even start. You'd have to be pretty damn talented to overcome those odds.
-
showing everyone what they want to see, which is more than 5 minutes of the future war? It's like the Alien movies being about a group of people in a confined space with aliens EVERY. FUCKING. MOVIE. instead of visiting their home world or having them land on earth. T3 should have been about the future war, culminating with the terminators being sent through time, not another chase scene. And I don't know what they're thinking with this or who they think their audience is.
-
Can you define hairy? Is it Euro-trash armpit hairy? Or is it '80s porn Chewbacca-bush hairy?
I'm planning on taking my kid to this movie, so I would appreciate some clarification as to whether that would be a good idea or not. Thanks -
Set during the future war. Since an Alien couldn't facehug a Terminator, they'd have to fight along side the humans (and use them for incubation, of course).

StrangeCo - "Darabont appropriately took to task recent
by talkbacker with no name
what have I missed?
-
darabont's indy draft was rejected a loong time (3 years) ago...basically it was rejected by lucas, spielberg loved it. but this is offtopic
-
I'd agree with you. I think it can be done, but what you have to do is compact it exactly into the timeframe. For example, the Star Wars Prequels just weren't strong stories because Lucas didn't really think through what he was doing. Ideally, for a prequel to work it should be a completely different style to the original. This is just me, but with the 'New Trilogy' of Star Wars, I would have gone and made some really tight, really modestly budgeted (no more than fifty million) stories about a particularly shitty era in the Galaxy, and had Palpatine help bring about order, thus gaining power, then in the final film just destroy the near paradise he's created with the rationale of 'The world needed to rise up and see what it could be, before they would allow someone like me to rule supreme.' That's just me, but you have to have a definitive stamp on a product that goes against the original. With The Terminator show, I'm hoping it goes into more of a 'Who can I trust?' territory than the films, maybe with a bleaker view of society to counteract the sacrifices they're making.

ah right. think it was something new. thanks, Allie
by talkbacker with no name
thought i'd missed something.
so what do you think of this Terminator TV series then? -
and the method by which Palpatine rose to power was not only well written but relevant to Earth's history as well as the present.
-
is the only thing the prequels got right. Everything else was complete Lucas $hit.
-
Sorry, no - the guy who played Palpatine was a hoot, but the story was majorly bungled. Basing it (loosely) on real events doesn't mean much to me if the story itself isn't in the least bit logical or entertaining.
-
I think TOO SOON and DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY should be banned. They were funny for about a week. No offense. Anyway, I think they could pull this off. I just wish T3 had never been made. If T2 was the last flick, then this series would be perfect. BUT, there's still a chance for greatness.
-
back when she was sorta hot...30 years ago. Is she buff???

DarthSidious, your skills as a sith are impressive..
by talkbacker with no name
but your ability to press the 'post comment' button once really sucks!
-
At the beginning of ALL the movies, Indy is skeptical of magic and hocus pocus, etc. It takes the quest to make him believe.
-
How about just "Sarah Conner"? "The Chronicles of..." worked out well for Vin Diesel. Just too highfalutin.
-
yeah
-
Since someone used TOO SOON, I just had to throw my second fav Subject out there. So when's this thing hitting the air?
-
is soooo tired..what exactly happened to her before t-800 shows up in 1985? does some bong hits? was a groupie? they'd do much better to have the series happen AFTER judgement day.Do the whole "machines slaughtering man on a grand scale thing"
-
when in the fuck was penny marshall "HOT"
-
Didn't know he was sick. He died of leukemia.
-
and maybe the series is being shot in and around the Albuquerque area, I'll probably give it some attention, at least at first.. But one wonders just what the heck the stories are going to be week after week..
I guess it could be like a one-woman A-Team.. "On the run from the law... If you need help.. And you can find her (in and around Albuquerque), Maybe you can hire.. Sarah Conner... -
No, Palpatine's rise was only remotely good or interesting in The Phantom Menace. Please note what happened in Episodes 2 and 3 - in Clones, Jar Jar was the one that basically allowed Palpatine to take more control, what a fucking stupid thing, and Palpatine himself wasn't in it enough, instead we got pathetic scenes involving teen-Anakin (aka one of the worst performances of all time) and wooden as a piece of wood Natalie Portman. Then in Revenge of the Sith we get terrible performances all-round, even from Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine. Because Lucas basically threw the story out the window after TPM, there's no impact when Palpatine becomes Emperor in ROTS.
-
"Come with me if you want to live -- BROTHER!!!" Hey, Ah-nuld's busy being The Governator and Hogan could use the work. Or maybe Shatner? "Come. With me. Ifyouwanttolive!"
-
Whether you're following the great Cameron storyline or shitty T3, no Terminatos appear between T2 and T3. So what the fuck is the show going to be about? I bet John will be 13 or whatever like they said in T3. Fucking bullshit, I say.
-
OK - I really got a good chuckle over that post... BROTHER!!!!
-
Ooops. Too Late.
I crap rivets bigger than you... -
Hmmm...no one remembers that one, eh?
-
Sarah Connor can be the shop teacher.
This is going to be a great series, you just know it. Hyuk, hyuk.
Hey, solarangel, nice Shitner impression; don't forget the arm motions.
