Zee Cafe presents Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
MUMBAI: For every Hollywood film buff in India, Arnold Schwarzenegger is synonymous with the word Terminator. Back in the eighties, 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 spell-binding special effect! Ever since, 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 Terminator, called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Premiering on Tuesday, 11th March at 9 PM on Zee Caf?, 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 it?s 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 Caf? starting 11th March at 9 PM.
