But my mother was the one who persuaded me to take the car. The one who went to audition on the set."

I went to school with him when he walked out of the house. , I am his sister. But, actually, I am his bodyguard." She explained.

Summer Glau film experience
"I have to pretend to be someone else in the film, and I have to constantly imitate others. Carefully and cleverly guide them in the right direction. But at this point, our relationship is constantly evolving. Now, this is A kind of motivation that can make strange families become familiar with each other. But before that, we have no idea what the other party means to us."
In the film, Summer's Fans will see a lot of her martial arts scenes. In the first episode, there were more scenes of fighting with bad guys. The male The Terminator is played by Owain Yeman. "We practiced for a long time, because there are many walls standing on the escape route, so we must skillfully climb over all objects that prevent us from running away. . It has to be a success and cannot fail.” She said, “Everything is well-designed. Whether it is the route or the action we want to escape, it requires an instant completion.”

Summer Glau loves science fiction
Summer and Access said that one of the reasons she likes sci-fi series so much is definitely because of her mother.
"I think this is the same as, My mother has been reading science fiction stories to us, there is an absolute connection. She also said, "At that time, I didn't even go to school on time. So during that time, I had plenty of time to fantasize and imagine everything about it. "
"I believe that as actors in science fiction films, they will have huge doubts in their hearts. Because these stories are so incredible and beyond imagination. You must have the courage and ability to study all the mysterious phenomena in this world. But these are for It’s like a gift to me, I can easily accept it.” She continued, “When we rest or look at each other , we can’t help but laugh. Because what we do is shocking. It’s something that is impossible to say in a lifetime. And these always make me happy. Just like a little girl who is not growing up. "When I first read the script, my deepest feeling was this It's a drama full of action dramas and exciting. We can do many things: drive, shoot, blast. But the most important thing is the characters in the play: their circumstances, their relationship, and how to balance this relationship. I think this way of writing (scripts) is very clever and interesting, but this way of writing is also very self-explanatory. I like the interaction between my role in the play and Thomas Dekker (John Connor). I find it very interesting. She (Cameron) is the kind of elusive character, and so is he (John). When she met him at school, a newcomer who had just transferred, their relationship became very delicate: they were all a little special, and they didn't have many friends, which made them feel sorry for each other. This is one of the reasons why I like to play Cameron.
Josh Friedman (producer)'s careful shaping of the role of Cameron made me very interested in playing Caremon, the female The Terminator. Each The Terminator is different. I think in this drama, Cameron is not portrayed as a Transformer, but has become more humane, which is very impressive.
Cameron is ignorant, but she can almost have human feelings: she can mimic people's emotional ups and downs vividly. This is a great challenge for me. When you enter the play, it is difficult for you not to show any feelings.
Glau said that between the filming, her relationship with Thomas Dekker had a subtle change. She had feelings for him, but she defended herself that it was not the feeling between lovers. Interesting.
Cameron is The Terminator who looks like The Girl Next Door . They (producer) asked me to keep the scars, which makes her more human.
I have never played a similar role before, but I know they also watched my other works when I was walking-through . In " Firefly ", all the fighting scenes were done by myself, and I think this helped me more or less. I think I gave them confidence: this girl can at least play the role well, and maybe even some tricks of her own. I am a dancer, a ballet dancer, and I always try to feel the role I play with my body. . This time I was able to truly devote myself to character creation, I think I learned a lot from it.
In 2008, summer glau appeared on the official website of "Entertainment Weekly" in the United States to announce a promising young female movie star under the age of 30 ( Zhang Ziyi is also there).
