Direct to DVD TSCC Movie in our Future?

Thomas Dekker was our first. On-set interview that is.

Which is why ? aside from starring in one of the most criminally under-appreciated television shows in recent memory ? we?ll always have a soft spot for the TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES star.

And, why this TV Addict took it upon himself to brave the horde of 50,000 strong that converged upon Toronto?s Annual FanExpo over the weekend to provide fans of the show with some much needed closure. And, as luck would have it, a little hope ? courtesy of the always classy and candid Dekker (Who was on hand to promote the slasher flick Laid to Rest) and was more than happy to take a few minutes to reflect upon his now infamous YouTube video, the one thing he would have changed about the series and of course, what was in store for Connor and Co. had the proverbial powers that be not put the kibosh on a third season of Sarah Connor?s CThe TV Addict: How do you feel about being here in Toronto right now instead of the Warner Bros. lot shooting season three of the show?he show?

Thomas Dekker: I definitely miss the show a lot. In fact, it sort of catches me off guard how much I miss the show sometimes. I really miss the people I got to work with everyday and the environment of knowing where you were working on a daily basis. And of course, the story. I loved the story and I knew where the third season was going and I thought it was just so cool. I love that Josh [Executive Producer Josh Friedman] had the balls to make everybody kind of wait, and be patient. Unfortunately I guess people really weren?t that willing to Since you brought it up, just how cool was season three going to be?ing to be?

I?ve divulged too much in the past [so I have to be careful as to not **** off Josh] but I mean it was going to be really interesting because there were questions in the future like is Sarah Connor at the age she would be in the future or is she already dead? I know which one that is, and it was the more interesting of the two to me. Plus what is she doing in the past? Also my sort of relationship with Allison and finding Cameron would play a large part in the season, do I go with the robot I know or do I go with the human that doesn?t know me? The fact that Danny Dyson became a very important part of it was also very exciting because it harkened back directly to Has there been any talk of continuing the story in a different form, a comic book perhaps? book perhaps?

They?ve spoken about doing a TV movie. Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie [Think: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA's THE PLAN]. Obviously it?s difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had one come out, so it?s kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us. But they?re hoping, at least when I spoke to [Producer] James Middleton that??When did you find out that TERMINATOR had been officially terminated?n officially terminated?

Obviously we?d seen the ratings and we had an inkling about it. But it was tricky, because the show was so popular overseas. In the end, it really came down to DOLLHOUSE or us and that was sort of what happened. I think we were too expensive and So pretty much your salary cost us another season?!st us another season?!

[Laughs] It wasn?t my salary let me tell you that much! But I think that it ultimWhere were you when you found out?were you when you found out?

I ultimately found out while I was shooting Nightmare on Elm Street, I got a text from Josh that was typically Josh, ?Show?s canceWhat inspired you to take to the internet and post a video on YouTube video (see above)?ideo on YouTube video (see above)?

I was in Chicago doing the movie and we were shooting nightshifts. Having just woken up, I was surfing the net just to see how people were reacting to the show and I found myself really touched by videos, blogs and all these things that random people of all ages and groups had done to try and save the show. It was nice to get the affirmation that people wanted more of something we worked so hard on. So I just kind of thought it would be funny of me to ask FOX to give me my job for another year. I really just wanted to make something to let them [the fans] know that we knew they were trying and we appreciated it and appreciate them. The best part was that a lot of people though that I was drunk, stoned or f*cked up. Which tends to happen a lot of my stuff. I can assure you, I have many moments of non-sobriety but that wasn?t one of them. It?s actually really funny that I sort of come ofLooking back, to you have a favourite episode?back, to you have a favourite episode?

I?d say the bit that really just summed up the whole show to me was the ending montage of ?Adam Raised a Cain,? where it?s the song that little Savannah Weaver was singing with John Henry, and they?re burying Derek and Sarah?s been arrested. i just think that that is a testament to the beauty of the show. It was a piece that was so poetic to me and one that you don?t normally see in a sci fi television vehicle. Moments like that made me very proud. AIs there anything, be it a performance or an episode, that you would love the ability to travel back in time and change?ld love the ability to travel back in time and change?

I wish I wasn?t so fat by the end of the season. But other than that, no. You know, I think all of us are pretty satisfied and proud. Even the episode that got kind of dissed or whatever, like the 20?s episode [self Made Man], which was more experiGarret Dillahunt is on what seems to be 15 different shows this fall, Summer [Glau] has jumped to Joss Whedon?s DOLLHOUSE, what?s next for you? jumped to Joss Whedon?s DOLLHOUSE, what?s next for you?

I?m doing movies right now, which is nothing against TV, but I?ve done a lot of TV and I?m really trying to branch out and I?m having a really good time with that. I did an indie called All About Evil, then Nightmare on Elm Street and next up is another indie that I start in two weeks but can?t disclose what it is yet. But it?s with a filmmaker that I?ve wanted to work with for my entire life, so I?m really excited. So yeah, I?m getting to do all this stuff, but it?s not the family like TERMINATOR. I miss the family.

Lena Headey has landed her next project, a pilot for HBO staring alongside Sean Bean and other names.

Yeah I saw that, but it doesn't really matter because a DVD movie would only take about a month or so to make. If the DVD sales of season two are good then there's a good chance that this DVD movie will happen.

Man, I just got over this TV series then see some news about a direct to DVD movie in future which I doubt will happen.

There's a good chance it could happen if the DVD's sell well which I expect they will.

I'll try to find the info that was posted a while back on the Twiki that showed the S2 dvd per-orders doing really good on Amazon, and it's the number one per-order in Japan. I'm pretty sure this movie will be made- Also a while back one of the writers let the fans know in the savethescc chat room that the WB is really excited about the per-orders.

Why are we just wanting a direct to movie Terminator: SCC, if we can get more!? :D Get another network to broadcast T:SCC, like SyFy or Th CW (their own network). :D

I think people are still going to keep trying to get the show pushed to a network, but if the DVD movie is made and sells well we might see another DVD movie made or it could be moved to a network.

I watched the first episode of season 1 of this the other day...it was ok, but the mum (sarah conner lol) really really annoyed me. I'm not sure I can deal with 2 seasons of her :angry:

Yes you can, continue watching, it gets better. Season one is the best, the start of Season 2 is good and the end of it is the best.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
