File this under Tv Shows I'll Probably watch. Sarah Conner is one of the toughest and most compelling Sci-Fi heroines ever.

Warner Brothers TV has set David Nutter to direct the pilot for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, prompting Fox Broadcasting to give an official green light to production on the Terminator-themed project, Variety reported.

Nutter (The X-Files), whose last 12 pilots have been picked up to series, also will serve as executive producer. Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar's C2 Pictures, which produced Terminator: Rise of the Machines, is producing with Warner Brothers TV.

Fox made a put pilot commitment to Connor last fall, picking up the script from executive producer Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds). Kassar and Vajna will also executive-produce.
