thought about posting this in the tv section, but not really enough info to start something new...

New 'Terminator' TV Series in the Works
"Thor's" Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller will pen the script for the project, from Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures, that will be a companion piece to the rebooted film.

Four years after Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ended its run on Fox, Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures are teaming to bring the Arnold Schwarzenegger franchise back to TV.

The producers behind the upcoming fifth installment have tapped Thor and X-Men: First Class writers Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller to write and executive produce a new Terminator television series that will be a companion piece to the rebooted trilogy.

The TV series will follow a critical moment from the first Terminator film (1984), and where the film's story goes one way, the upcoming series will take the same moment in a completely different direction. As the rebooted film trilogy and the new TV series progress, the two narratives will intersect with each other in surprising and dramatic ways.

The TV series will be produced by Annapurna's Megan Ellison and Skydance's David Ellison alongside Skydance chief creative officer Dana Goldberg and TV chief Marcy Ross. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier will executive produce. Kalogridis and Lussier also will pen the first feature in the upcoming Terminator trilogy, which will be directed by Alan Taylor and released via Paramount Pictures on July 1, 2015. Both Ellisons will produce, while Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as exec producers.Schwarzenegger will reprise his famed role in the new trilogy, described as a time-spanning story that sees him tasked with protecting Sarah Connor as she grows up. The first feature is currently testing actresses to play Sarah Connor.

I will not pay money to see a fat 70 year old Arnold Swarzanaagier playing a robot that has no business looking 70 years old.

Bring on the CGI?

That, or they'll go with some "this model appears non-threatening to people" BS.

What big project is Summer Glau working on these days? She was a great terminator. Bring her back and term her up with an old John Connor for that creepy high school teacher/student vibe.

Will it air on FOX? Cause that's the biggest hint of whether they expect it to last or not.

Deadline
It's official. Emilia Clarke will play Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot, re-teaming with director Alan Taylor, who has worked with Clarke in the HBO series Game Of Thrones. Clarke joins Jason Clarke, who is in negotiations to play her son John Connor in a storyline I've heard involved a trip into the future. Deadline revealed that he was in talks earlier this week. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also back in his signature cyborg role.

come on!i like emilia clarke but she has nothing to with sarah connor.
sarah connor is a tough woman,not just a pretty face

i thought robots couldn't age so.....is a 66-year-old t-800 something believable?

Pretty sure she's playing 1984 (or earlier) Sarah Conner. There was nothing tough about her at that point.

Yep, the person playing her has to be able to appear totally vulnerable to start and then make a turn and toughen up.

Personally I think Emilia Clarke sounds perfect for the role.
