Lena Headey is Sarah Connor

When you think of Sarah Connor, chances are you picture Linda Hamilton either running for her shaggy-haired life, or – in T2 – all muscles ‘n’ guns.

Well, if Fox TV and The Sarah Connor Chronicles have their way, that image may be replaced with Lena Headey carrying the mantle and the machine guns.

The British actress and Brothers Grimm co-star, next to appear in 300, has just been cast as Connor in the Terminator TV spin-off, which will see Sarah and whiny future hero sprog John facing off against futuristic nasties sent to do them in around present-day Los Angeles.

War Of The Worlds co-writer Josh Friedman’s handling the writing, and Smallville director David Nutter will start calling the shots on the pilot early next year.

  1. Thanks for the info. Of course, Linda Hamilton probably wouldn't be up to the role at her current age but she will always be Sarah Connor in my heart :) I sincerely hope this project continues on course and will aire. I think there are still many good stories that can be told of the Terminator universe and hope this series treats the characters and storyline well.
