Lena 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*).

I hate to be 'the glass is half empty' but it might end up like Tru Calling. Tru had loads of viewers in the beginning (mostly Buffy fans more than likely), it went strong in the ratings, slowly lost them, got a second season and was cancelled.

Eliza Dushku was here in Vancouver goddamnit! They filmed the morgue scenes at UBC for crying out loud. My dad's company had the security contract for the set (at least I think they did...). Ok, Tru Calling was kinda hokey but who cares? They cancelled Family Guy and brought it back. I hate Fox. They get rid of the best shows.
