Take a look at the Sarah Conner Chronicles Trailer

Oooo Oooo - excited yet?

The trailer for "The Sarah Connor Chronicles” has already hit online. The preview shows heavy influence from the films, especially "Terminator 2: Judgment Day” of course. Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker, who play Sarah and John Connor in the series, certainly seem to know their characters well enough.

The scene-stealer of the trailer is certainly Summer Glau as the friendly terminatrix apparently sent back to help John and his mother protect the future and its hero. Clearly, "Firefly” and "Serenity” played a great part in landing Glau the role, because she has been cast as one hell of a fighter. The beginning that the trailer paints seems to showcase her as the initial hero of the show, which would certainly be a nice refreshing touch to keep the familiar material from seeming dry and becoming dull after the pilot.

The promo features some nice special effects considering its for a television production, but of course the budget and schedule probably won’t allow for the kind of production values fans have come accustomed to that made the second "Terminator” film the blockbuster that spawned this new series. My expectations aren’t high, but I want to see a consistent standard of quality and interest upheld, and if Glau is killed in the pilot or a few episodes in, an asset to the show’s foundation may be lost. The trailer makes me feel confident, but not confident enough to bet on "Chronicles” just yet without knowing where they intend to take this and if it stays on the same old road or if it will become something dynamic and more exciting.

IGN Interview

There's a very good interview with Summer over with the IGN gang.

Last week, I talked to Glau about her role on The Unit, for an exclusive chat with IGN. We also discussed Glau's work on The 4400 and Firefly. Glau spoke to me from the Texas set of a new television pilot she was filming, though she was wary of saying too much about the project. However, we've since learned that it's the Terminator spinoff series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Firefly Reborn

A good article about a new MMO computer game based on the Firefly Universe can be read at Wired News.
Like Capt. Mal Reynolds stumbling in after a bar fight, the short-lived but much beloved sci-fi series Firefly will soon make an unexpected return, not as a TV show, but as a massively multiplayer online game.

Now that's shiny.

Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.

Serenity: River Triumphant Statue

32686_69810_3.jpgDiamond Select Toys is excited to announce the latest addition to Joss Whedon’s Serenity ‘verse – this incredibly detailed statue depicting River’s triumphant victory over the savage Reavers.

Conditioned by Alliance government scientists to become the ultimate living weapon, River Tam’s destiny led her to a group of noble outlaws aboard the Firefly-class ship, Serenity. With the help of the crew led by Captain Malcolm Reynolds, River and her brother Simon were able to uncover the insidious secrets trapped within her mind – much to the Alliance’s chagrin.

Note from the Webmaster

Hey Summer Fans - apologies for the lack of updates recently. Apart from the obvious ones of Summer being really busy working, so not being able to pass on any gossip or insider information; I myself have been a bit busy with my own work (starring in films with Keira Knightly & James McAvoy, moving offices, rehearsing for plays, editing films, etc.)

I do have plans for a new theme for the site to celebrate the first year of running the place along with Andy and Naomi, and eventually being talked into attending one of the crazy conventions to meet some of you all - so keep the faith and send in your news - I do read the emails even if I'm not able to respond straight away.

Tim Knight
