Fox Broadcasting has greenlit a pilot called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, based, of course, on the popular Terminator movies. David Nutter will direct the pilot, and Warner Bros. TV and Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar’s C2 Pictures (producers of the most recent movie) will produce it.  Nutter has directed the pilots of shows tha have gone on to be hits, such as Smallville, Without a Trace, and Supernatural. He also directed the pilot of Dark Angel, the James Cameron project, which may be one reason he was chosen for this.

The new show will focus on Sarah and John Connor during the time they spent on the run after Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Casting will begin immediately (I’m assuming Linda Hamilton is not a possibility), and filming will start in early 2007.
