Terminator Producers and Director into TV
|
|
|
Leveraging Fox's biggest assets, "American Idol" and "House," with "bold, sometimes challenging, quality, take-notice
offerings" is how senior vp drama development Ted Gold sums up the network's development strategy this season.
After a weak start to the season, in which Fox's new dramas "Vanished," "Justice" and "Standoff" failed to gain traction
with viewers, the network is taking big swings with its 2007-08 development.
The network's 10 drama pilots -the same number as last year- include the big-budget "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," a
follow-up to the Terminator movies. The thriller, directed and executive produced by David Nutter, is shaping up
"to be one of the biggest action pieces out there," Gold says.
On the sci-fi front, Fox also is bringing a whole new dimension to the term 'sleeper cell' with its adaptation of the
graphic novel "Them." Executive produced and directed by 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' helmer Jonathan Mostow, it
revolves around extraterrestrials infiltrating our world.
New series under development, include:
- The Apostles
- Canterbury's Law
- The Cure
- K-Ville
- New Amsterdam
- NSA Innocent
- Philadelphia General
- Supreme Courtships
- Sarah Connor Chronicles
Production Co.: Warner Bros. TV/C-2 Pictures
Production Team: Josh Friedman, David Nutter, James Middleton, Mario Kassar, Andrew Vajna, Joel Michaels
Based on the characters from the "Terminator" franchise, it follows Connor (Lena Headey) and her son John (Thomas Dekker)
in present-day Los Angeles as they fight attackers from the future in a battle for survival of the human race.
- Them
Production Co.: CBS Par TV/Circle of Confusion Prods.
Production Team: Jonathan Mostow, David Eick, John McNamara, David Engel, David Alpert, Lawrence Mattis
Centers on an extraterrestrial sleeper cell that has infiltrated the human race. The cell's mission is compromised when
its members begin to express human emotions. Based on the graphic novel.

Other rumblings
ABking of TheArnoldFans.com has an editorial up
about movies making it into their 4th edition... and their main stars having to be involved to make it a succes.
"Seems like the # 4 is going to be hot for film franchise's very soon. If you look at the list of upcoming action film
sequels, it reads like a nostalgia list of yesteryear blockbusters. We have Terminator 4, Indiana Jones 4, Die Hard 4,
Rambo IV and Beverly Hills Cop 4."
"Fans will line up and support any particular film sequel but most importantly the movie going public will embrace a
long running franchise into a box-office gold, BUT only if the original star returns and if the film is well directed!"
"Bruce Willis is now filming Live Free Or Die Hard for summer 2007; Stallone will soon start filming Rambo IV for
summer 2008; Harrison Ford has just committed to getting back into shape to play Dr. Jones for summer 2008 and Eddie
Murphy is excited to be going back to the role of Axel Foley sometime in the near future."
"That leaves Arnold Schwarzenegger and the rumored Terminator 4 project! Last we heard, MGM head Rick Sands was saying
that the Terminator franchise is so popular like Bond, Batman or Superman that they can continue it without Arnold. What
a bold and ridiculous statement!!!"
"There are some franchise's that can live without the main star that made it popular returning, but TERMINATOR is "NOT"
one of them. My next statement cannot be stressed enough: Schwarzenegger is the reason people pay to see the Terminator
films!!!"
