Hunter Prey (Trailer Online)

THE MISSION...

Hunter Prey centers around a group of elite intergalactic commandos that have crash-landed on a harsh and unknown planet while transporting an alien prisoner. Now they must track down and recapture the escaped creature, and their orders are to bring it in ALIVE.

The soldiers begin to question their orders while finding themselves at a severe disadvantage, not being able to harm the prisoner. The team starts getting picked off, one by one, by their dangerous adversary, until the odds become even.

With one soldier remaining, he's faced with a decision. Does he risk his life playing the creature's game or does he disobey his orders and kill it. The realization he comes to, after finding out why his superiors want the prisoner alive and why the alien is trying to escape, starts to change the way he thinks not only about his situation, but himself, as he finds out who's really hunting whom?

Why Isn't Terminator The New Lost?

Watching last night's episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I couldn't help wondering why this show hasn't become the new Lost, with a cult following and 12 million viewers. The Terminator show deserves it: last night's episode wasn't the best of the season, by a long chalk, but it was thrilling and disturbing, and it raised questions I was thinking about all day today. Oh, and there are spoilers.

In last night's episode, there were three main plot strands. The two minor ones: the body of the dead Terminator has gone missing and John Connor and his pet Terminator are searching for it, and Sarah Connor is having crazy dreams. And then the major one: Jesse (BSG's Stephanie Jacobsen) has found Charlie Fisher, the guy who collaborated with the machines and tortured people in the future.

The two minor plotlines were so-so — the best part about them was the business with the turtles. Sarah faces the Blade Runner test — she sees a turtle on its back — and she passes with flying colors. Summer doesn't quite understand why you'd bother, and thus she beats the crap out of former FBI Agent Ellison. Meanwhile, Sarah is having weird surreal dreams about turtles and motherhood and wearing a weird prairie dress, and she has an unhelpful session with Skynet's therapist.

But the major plotline was pure win, as you can see from that clip above. Jesse needs to prove to Derek that she's really captured a Skynet collaborator from the future, and hasn't just kidnapped some random innocent guy. So she finds the present-day Charlie Fisher, a young, callow guy who used to be Warren on Buffy. The scene where the old Charlie tells the young Charlie he has no clue who he is utterly rules.

And then the final twist opens a whole can of worms that adds whole layers to every part of the show: In Jesse's version of the future, Derek was tortured and broken down mercilessly by Charlie. But Derek doesn't remember these events, because he comes from a different version of the future. The only possible explanation: Derek has changed the future since he came back in time, but not necessarily for the better. Between the time Derek traveled back and the time Jesse came back to join him, he's changed things enough that Skynet's empire of torture has gotten big and powerful enough to ensnare Derek. Both Charlie and Jesse "remember" this same future, because they both came back more recently than Derek.

What's the change that Derek made, that led to him later being captured and tortured? Was it the nuclear power plant he inadvertantly handed over to Skynet? Or something else?

This kind of multi-layered playing with the timeline reminds me of Lost at its best, especially episodes like "The Constant." The characters are becoming rich enough, the mythology dense enough, to justify the kind of mass devotion that Lost inspires too. So why is the Terminator show still struggling with around 5.3 million viewers, below even Chuck?

Off the top of my head, a few ideas, with particular reference to last night's episode.

1) People think they know what it's about, because it's based on a movie franchise. There are plenty of mysteries, but we know how it ends: Judgment Day.

2) Not enough alpha males. Look at last night's episode: three storylines, each featuring a strong woman waving a gun. (Even the feverish Sarah brandished a gun a few times.) In all three storylines, a male character is trying to restrain or understand the woman. By contrast, Lost is chock full 'o' alpha males, who come into conflict with each other.

3) No shippers. There's nobody to ship on this show. Last night's episode didn't even include John's love interest Riley (yay), and Jesse and Derek are an established couple. (With trouble on the horizon, I'm betting.) There are no love triangles, no frustrated lovers. I would like to see a Sarah-Charley Dixon-Agent Ellison triangle, but it's apparently not happening.

4) It's too science fictional. Lost producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof said in a recent interview that their show had been disguised as a regular drama, and then sneaked in scifi ideas over time. Terminator couldn't do that. And last night's episode used time travel in a very different way than "The Constant." Both episodes were great, but "The Constant" was more emotional and relatable, less bleak and tied up with the theory of time travel.

5) It doesn't have as many compelling minor characters. Last night's episode basically featured our leads, plus the two Charlie Fishers and the shrink who doesn't want to be called a shrink. I doubt we'll be seeing Charlie Fisher again, but I do hope we get more insight into the shrink, who's a promising character. Weirdly, for such an epic show, it's much smaller and more intimate than Lost, which has a huge cast.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I might do a larger post on that topic at some point, although I'm sure it's a bit of an apples/oranges comparison. In any case, the main thing Lost and T:SCC have in common is that they've both grown on me a lot lately. I liked Sarah Connor's first season, and it had a few really strong episodes, but it's taken off in its second season. Too bad the ratings haven't followed.

Minor observations:

Did Joss Whedon direct this episode? There was a big moment revolving around Summer Glau's feet.

Also, Cameron likes crappy pop music.

This episode made me crave bad food court Chinese food. And cheeseburgers.

Brian Austin Green, still most valuable player.

Who photoshopped that weird picture of Sarah and a dog?

Did older Charles Fisher cause younger Charles Fisher to get sent to prison? I don't really like that kind of circular time-travel logic, but I'll give it a pass.

What did you guys think?

Heroes (Volume 3)

Last Night Heroes started his much delayed Volume 3, the two episodes were full of exposition in order to resume last Season events, and how the character got where they are now, like in our X-Men books it seems the writers decided to scrap some old plots and move forward with the next one. This could be excellent (if they pick them up later). We were introduced to the "villains" of season in the last 5 minutes and couple of reveals made the overall experience good but not great. Lets hope that now that the new status quo is established we can go ahead and have good stories. A pleasent surprice was the addition of Jamie Hector (Marlo Stanfield from the Wire) if he is half as creepy in this as he was in The Wire this season is going to be fun.
Both Episodes are Free on the NBC website.



Anoche comenzo el muy demorado Volumen Numero 3, estos dos episodios estuvieron llenos de esposicion para explicar todo lo que paso en la temporada dos y como los personajes llegaron a donde estan ahora. Como en nuestro queridos comics de X-Men parece que los escritores decidieron desacerces de algunas historias viejas que estaban desarrollando, y seguir adelante con la nueva historia. Esto puede ser muy bueno (siempre y cuando lo retomen en el futuro). Nos introdujeron a los "Villanos" de esta temporada en los ultimos 5 munutos y trancurrieron un par de revelaciones interesante que hicieron la experienciaa completa buena pero no Excelente . Esperemos que ahora que todo el "texto" explicativo esta fuera de el camino podamos disfrutar de buenas historias. Una sorpresa agradable fue la suma a el elenco de Jamie Hector (que fue Marlo Stanfield en the Wire) si es la mitad de salado en esto de lo que fue en The Wire esta temporada va a estar buena.
Los dos episodios estan disponibles gratis en la pagina de la NBC.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The teaser trailer for Terminator 4 is out, and John Connor is still looking grim. The smokin', shaven-headed Christian Bale uses his sexy Batman voice to tell us we're all going to die. Add some shots of robots stepping on skulls and dangling bodies, and I'm pretty sold. I hate to let a well-edited trailer get to me, but man, this movie looks bad ass. It also features our first look at the Terminator aqua bots.

The End Begins (Text from blog)

We’ve officially started principal photography on Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Like you guys, I’ve been a long-time fan of the series and I understand your passion for the Terminator movies -- and it’s my full intention to deliver a film that lives up to the previous three installments. I’ve spent time with James Cameron, spoken to Arnold Schwarzenegger, gone over the story with Jonah Nolan, and enlisted Stan Winston.

Everything we’re shooting is designed to be tactile and real, you’ll be seeing a whole set of inspired designs you’ve never seen before, and best of all you’ll finally get to see some of the post-judgment day future that was only hinted at in the previous movies.

John Connor will be pushed to the brink. And for me, Christian Bale embodies Connor’s strength and tenacity perfectly. And after visiting Sam Worthington on the set of Avatar, I know he’s perfect for his role.

As you know, Anton Yelchin is playing Kyle Reese, and his prep has been unbelievable. The guy's been watching all three Terminators incessantly and he’s definitely going to capture the essence of the character Michael Biehn created in Cameron’s first film.

We started principal photography with a sequence at Griffith Observatory. I've already seen a cut of it -- Anton and Sam are excellent. I’ll have more on that soon, and can’t wait to share some of what we’re doing with you all. Stay tuned for more.

McG

The Future Begins has started production in the New Mexico desert, with Christian Bale and Sam Worthington on board to star in the film as John Connor and Marcus Wright, respectively. The movie website is currently a blank page, but there's a strong possibility it will launch sometime tomorrow. (So keep refreshing, fanboys!) Directed by McG, the man responsible for the cultural institution known as The O.C., Terminator Salvation will be set in 2018 where John Connor is fighting Skynet to ensure the future he's destined for.

However, a mysterious man by the name of Marcus Wright appears, and was not part of the prophecy known to Connor. As Connor figures out whether the amnesiac man came from the past or future, the two begin a quest to exterminate Skynet once and for all.

The film also features Anton Yelchin (Charlie Bartlett), singer/songwriter/actress Charlotte Gainsbourg (Science of Sleep), Top 10 MC/actor Common (Smoking Aces) and Moon Bloodgood and Jadagrace, whoever the hell they are. [Terminator]

In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

The film also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Common as Barnes, and Jadagrace as Star.

"Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" marks the latest installment of the multi-billion dollar Terminator franchise and will be the first film in a new Terminator trilogy.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Cronicles

Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator TV Series)

Headey Reveals Connor Chronicles

Lena Headey, who stars in the Fox SF drama pilot The Sarah Connor Chronicles, told SCI FI Wire that the show will begin with a confrontation between Headey's title character; her son, John Connor (Heroes' Thomas Dekker); and two new Terminators: a female model, played by Serenity's Summer Glau, and a male one, which she called Cromartie, played by Owain Yeoman. One is good and one is bad; she didn't say which is which. (Glau's character is named Cameron, an apparent nod to Terminator franchise creator James Cameron.)

The pilot, which picks up the story from the end of the feature film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, begins in the desert, and "it ends with them landing in L.A., having run and escaped. Or maybe not," Headey said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on March 3.

"We just finished [shooting]," Headey (300) said. "We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now. But I learned to shoot many weapons and how to recognize a Terminator. So it was a good experience."

The pilot "begins, and it's them basically running, hiding, trying to live," Headey said. "Trying to carve out a normal life for themselves, but always being watched and trying to locate Skynet, trying to stop [it]. But there are many, many issues in their way."

First Photo for The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The first photo for the Sarah Connor Chronicles has popped online via a Foreign Fansite. Not terribly exciting but the first pic none the less. Besides starring in Frank Miller’s highly stylized and exciting new epic "300," Lena Headey is caught in a war that will come to television with FOX’s "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," the TV series spun from the "Terminator" mythology. There has been much speculation about when, where, and how the show would be starting. Though it’s been established that it would take place after "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," there’s still a lot of questions out there regarding the exact setup for the timeline and mythos.

Headey commented to Sci Fi Wire about the show’s general premise; "It's them basically running, hiding, trying to live. Trying to carve out a normal life for themselves, but always being watched and trying to locate Skynet, trying to stop [it]. But there are many, many issues in their way." She also said that they just finished filming; "We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now." She says that, but with all the buzz around it, and the rise of "Terminator 4" talk, this series has a better shot than most with an established fanbase to stand on.

She also spoke a little about how exactly it will begin, attempting to clear up some of that mystery. Apparently, the pilot will begin with a confrontation of some kind between her character Sarah Connor, son and soon-to-be savior of mankind John Connor, and two new terminators; one male and one female. The male terminator will be played by Owain Yeoman of the failed series, "The Nine." The female will be named Cameron, which harkens to the "Terminator" origin, its writer/director/producer James Cameron, and may hint that this is the good terminator (though Headey did not specify which would be the villain), and she will be played by Summer Glau, star of the all too short-lived FOX series "Firefly" and the movie based on the cult sensation Joss Whedon series "Serenity."

There’s more than enough going on here to spark interest for a season at least, and if they do it right and stay true to elements that made "Terminator" a cult sci-fi/action classic, then fans could be able to enjoy elements such as the strong and toughened Sarah Connor and the future gone awry with one great chance for a hero story that twists in time-space continuum circles that sweep us up in the apocalyptic chaos, and all this on a weekly basis. Seriality is all the rage right now, and if they can make "Chronicles" something that sucks us in and keeps us coming back for more, then this could be the next great sci-fi show, but some might call that great expectations this early in the game.

These Cyborgs are tought to beat!

Sometimes messiahs can't handle the burden.

Ooh! Nice Timing!

Executive producers Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”), David Nutter (“Supernatural,” “Smallville”) and C2 Pictures (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) bring to television an intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the “Terminator” movies: Sarah Connor.

At the end of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” Sarah vanquished the liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment.

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey, “The Brothers Grimm,” “300”) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he’s told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to CAMERON (Summer Glau, “Serenity,” “The Unit”), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante – she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones, “Judging Amy”), who soon becomes a powerful ally.

Directed by David Nutter and produced by Warner Bros. Television and C-2 Pictures, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting reinvention of the “Terminator” franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.
