fembuckLena Headey is Sarah Connor!
Lena Headey (Imagine Me & You) has landed the plum leading role in the Fox pilot "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," reports Variety.
The project, from Warner Bros. TV, continues the "Terminator" movie franchise storyline by focusing on Sarah and her 15-year-old son John, as they fight attackers from the future in present-day Los Angeles.
Headey takes over the role made famous by Linda Hamilton in the first two "Terminator" films. Josh Friedman will write and David Nutter is set to direct the pilot.
Please, please, please do not let this show go the way of Ultra. Lena Headey as Butchy McFabulous Sarah Connor is like a dream come true. If it couldn't be Linda Hamilton I will totally take Lena (LH and LH, it was meant to be). 2007 is shaping up to be a good year for kick-ass females in sci-fi series. My only worry is that it's on Fox, which means it will be brilliant, I will love it, but it won't be getting a bajillion viewers after like 8 episodes and will get cancelled (*flips Fox the bird*).

Good sign, at least it's not like his previous credits weren't like Relic Hunter or something.
*becomes cautiously optimistic*
