In Which I Do Not Make a Joke About The Sarah Connor Chronicles Getting 'Terminated'

Just before the film arm of its franchise gets a much-anticipated reboot, The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canceled by Fox. Sadly, even the show's bold cost-cutting measures weren't enough to save it. [Reg]

Terminator Ad Looks Like a Rip-Off, Makes Sarah Connor Chronicles Even Worse (NSFW)

We like Terminator as much as we hate companies who rip-off the work of artists without even crediting them. This is apparently what happened with the poster used to promote the bland Sarah Connor Cronicles TV series: some blogs are reporting that the Fox channel's poster was allegedly copied straight from a striking montage created by someone else before the series were even announced. Compare the full images after the jump (NSFW).

As you can see, unlike the Sony Bravia ad, this is not just "inspiration", this is a direct copy in which some elements are copy-pasted. We have to say we had high hopes for the series, but apparently it was headed to the Department of Mleh right from the start. If they wanted to copy something, they could have followed the Terminators' sex positions. [My Confined Space via Hollywood Newsroom]

Update: We know it there's the possibility that this may be by the same artist or licensed. But we are reporting on what other blogs are reporting, which is exactly why I wrote "apparently what happened" and "was allegedly copied" in the article. I've changed the headline to make this position even clearer.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Posters, Trailer Are Mildly Sexy

After years of production and planning, coming on January 13, 2008 is the TV version of the venerable Terminator series, entitled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Depending on your point of view, it's either going to bring a fresh new Terminator into your home every week or completely ruin the entire franchise. Nevertheless, on the next page check out the trailer and arty new posters released by Fox to hype the series, featuring the tough babe cast as Sarah Connor, Brit actress Lena Headey. That gallery is SFW unless you're toiling your life away in the midst of the Amish (and Mennonite) community.

If we get to look at her every week, this show has potential.
