"Terminator TV Series Gets Greenlight
Wednesday August 30, 2006
Warner Bros. TV has hired David Nutter to helm the pilot for THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, prompting Fox Broadcasting to officially greenlight production on the TERMINATOR-based project, reports VARIETY. Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar's C2 Pictures, which produced TERMINATOR 3, is producing with Warner Bros. TV. Nutter will also exec produce with Kassar and Vajna.
Fox picked up the script from exec producer Josh Friedman (WAR OF THE WORLDS) last fall.
Casting will begin immediately, with filming set to start early next year in New Mexico.
Nutter has directed pilots for such future series as SMALLVILLE, WITHOUT A TRACE, SUPERNATURAL and James Cameron’s Fox series DARK ANGEL.
"It's important for me to live up, as best I can, to the bar that Jim Cameron set," Nutter told DAILY VARIETY, saying the pilot "has to carry as much of a punch" as possible, even on a TV budget.
The series will center on Connor and her savior son, John Connor, following the events of T2."
