[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)

[Rappy Veteran]

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.

They need to do something about the 3rd season. I want to know what happens with an ending that did not finish the story. Whether it be a direct-to-movie or another network picks them up, DO IT!

[soldier1st]

they could get it to restart by having the girls get owned more and show more skin and guns blazing while the girls get hurt then show skin then if they cant fix themselves they die.

[bolerodan]

I managed to meet Thomas Dekker at Fan Expo in Toronto. Pretty layed back guy. Was pretty cool.

[Xero]

Just when I put it behind me you bring it back! Gimme more :angry:

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.

[.KICK]

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.

[Tech Star]

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 would love see it on another network as mentioned before in other posts here but I think atm all we as fans can hope for is a direct to dvd movie.

[Tech Star]

Yeah, I just want to see what happens. :p

On a side Summer note. :p

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.

Why does John's actor sound different? :blink:

[kaotic]

Why does John's actor sound different? :blink:

That's his normal voice.

He changes his voice a little for John Connor.

Lena Headey also changes her voice; she's from the UK I think.

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah Lena's british accent is so clear and hot :p might I say but yeah she changes it of course.
