Summer Glau Gives Hints on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"
Thursday, December 06, 2007
Many are excited to see how FOX will continue the Terminator film franchise with its new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but there are also those who have doubts and qualms on the fate of the new science fiction drama given that it may not live up to its hype and may eventually suffer poor reviews and unsatisfactory ratings. Amidst all the mixed sentiments, cast member Summer Glau talks about her character and the show, hoping to entice spectators to stick around and stay glued for the rest of the season.
As an extension to the Terminator franchise, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles follows Sarah Connor (Lena Headey), a fugitive who decides to stop running and go on the offense against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent intended to destroy her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, John (Thomas Dekker) knows that he may be the future savior of mankind but is not yet ready to carry this weight on his shoulder. Though they are constantly pursued by threats from the future and authorities, they are aided by a fearless protector, Cameron (Summer Glau), an unknown Terminator model in the most human form yet.
As a teenage Terminator whose primary task is to protect the Connor family, Glau, whose credits include Firefly and Serenity, takes over the role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. But on the new series, she pretends to be the daughter of Sarah and sister of John, and also poses as a student at his school.
“Yeah, I'm kind of like John's bodyguard. I go to school with him. If he goes out of the house, I pose as his sister. I'm his bodyguard,” Glau explained to Access Hollywood.
On the other hand, Cameron posing as part of the Connors doesn't mean that romance won't be in the cards for her and John.
“I faked a lot of things at the show. I'm constantly mimicking humans and they have subtly insinuated that things could go in that direction, but at this point, our relationships, they're developing,” she said. “There's sort of a strange family dynamic right now and we don't know what we are to each other really.”
Though production of the series hasn't been completed, Glau already hints that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will feature plenty of terminators after the family and a lot of action scenes, beginning with the first episode where she takes on an evil male terminator played by Owain Yeoman (The Nine).
Are you excited about this show?
Yes, I can’t wait
