WonderCon 2008: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

| 0 Comments
I'm guessing that everyone at this panel was here because of Summer Glau, because even on Sunday, Hall A was pretty crowded with fanboys and fangirls alike. A trailer spot for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was shown, before the other cast members Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green and director James Middleton and writer Josh Friedman were led on stage.

Thomas Dekker said he reads the message boards, even though he's not supposed to. Summer Glau doesn't read the boards, though her mother will often read the boards and send her the good ones. Thomas Dekker said his mother just sends the bad ones. Brian Austin Green reads the boards, and he loves being on a sci-fi show. While at first fans didn't like the idea of Brian Austin Green being on the show, he said they've come to accept him as the character, and he loves it.

At first Friedman wanted to bring Kyle Reese onto the show, but the Terminator people said no, you can't do that, so he invented a brother, and the Terminator people really liked the idea, so he just ran with it.

Summer Glau said that her dance training helps alot in the stunt choreography; she thinks it'd be alot harder to do all the martial arts and fighting sequences if she didn't have a good foundation in mirroring moves. Everyone does their own stunts, Thomas Dekker doesn't have a lot to do, and Lena is probably the toughest person on cast.
