Now, The Terminator in your home

The successful blockbuster is being converted to a TV series

By Buzz18 . Mar 07, 2008

For every Hollywood film buff in India, Arnold Schwarzenegger is synonymous with the word The Terminator. Back in the '80s, the story of a cyborg sent back in time by the evil, intelligent machines of the 21st Century to assassinate an innocent woman, whose unborn child will pose a threat to their mission, was an instant hit with the audience.

The film was relished over and over again with collective jaws dropping at every spellbinding special effect! Since then, The Terminator has attained status of a cult, with each of its sequels turning out to be a mega blockbuster.

Hollywood has seen several successful TV series being made into films and vice versa. The latest to go on air on Indian television screens is an exciting TV series based on the The Terminator, called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Premiering on Tuesday, March 11, on 9 pm IST on Zee Café, the series is set in time right after Terminator 2: The Judgement Day. It kicks off when Sarah Connor stops running and goes on the offensive against the technological enemy bent on destroying her son's life, and perhaps the world. The series premiered this January in the US and was #1 for its timeslot on Fox.

The premiere of the series throws up a host of questions for the die-hard Terminator fans. Will the series bring alive the magic of the motion pictures? Can the special effects on a television series match those on 70 mm? Can Lena Headey possibly slide into Linda Hamilton's shoes and bring back the steely, gritty Sarah Connor?

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger make a guest appearance on the show? If the reviews in the United States are anything to go by, the series is in a class of its own and worthy of the 18 million pairs of eyeballs glued to the telly screens each times it airs. And while Headey may have had big shoes to fill with Hamilton's iconic portrayal, the British actress has proved that her performance as Queen Gorgo of 300 was no fluke!

So don't miss out on the exciting action as it unfolds on Zee Café starting March 11 at 9 pm IST!
