Here’s a look at a behind-the-scenes video of the cast doing promos for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s “not” hosted by Thomas Dekker.
The FOX guys have launched the official Terminator/Sarah Connor Chronicles wiki, which you can find and start contributing to right away. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Wiki.
This is great news. It looks like FOX is not going to be sitting on their laurels and hope people tune into The Sarah Connor Chronicles when it premieres in January 2008. Instead, they’re doing a major media blitz, and in fact, if you were watching Game 7 of the ALCS between Boston and Cleveland last night, you might have caught a couple of SCC commercials where an unseen Terminator searches for Sarah Connor by ID’ing all the faces in the crowd.
FOX just sent us a new promo picture from the upcoming Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is coming to a TV screen near you in January 14, 2008. So don’t miss it! The new image looks really good, and features Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, and Summer Glau on, of all things, a fire escape? What are they doing on a fire escape? Um, maybe they’re “escaping” the evil Terminator? Or something.
Just got word via email from Sarah Connor Chronicles producer Josh Friedman, who tells us that the show has been given a firm premiere date by FOX — Monday, January 14 at eight o’clock. If you’re a FOX watcher, then you know Mondays in January belongs to FOX’s 24 TV series. That’s right, FOX has decided to air SCC right before 24, which should guarantee the show plenty of eyeballs in its debut, thus giving it the best chance to succeed.
A couple of news from the T4 movie front. 1) The Halcyon Company, the people fronting the money for the sequels, has partnered up with Warner Bros. to distribute the film in North America; 2) The official title of T4 is now Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, and as expected is the first of a trilogy that will spin the storyline away from John Connor and company, including new heroes and a new plot; and 3) There is news about Arnold’s involvement in T4 — well, sort of.
Now here’s an interesting news. It comes from Aint it cool News, and offers up this possibility: Vin Diesel, star of “The Chronicles of Riddick” and the “Fast and the Furious”, is being rumored to be in talks to star in the upcoming T4. He will, of course, probably end up playing a Terminator if this is true and he gets the job.
The latest T4 movie news is that “Charlie’s Angels” director McG (real name Joseph McGinty Nichol) is in negotiations to helm the upcoming T4 for The Halcyon Company. The film itself is expected to go into production very soon, with an eye toward beating the upcoming Hollywood writer’s strike, which is expected to hit Hollywood and halt all movie productions. So if McG wants to direct T4, and CHUD says he is, then he better sign on fast, and get this sucker into production.
I actually read this news weeks ago, but I didn’t believe it. But now it seems that a whole lot of people are running with it, so what the hey, it just might be true. So what’s the big news? That Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz and fellow actress Chloe Sevigny are currently “battling” for the female lead in the upcoming T4 movie. No, seriously. I’m not kidding. Read on for the info…
