As we previously reported, Katie Sackoff will play a pivotal role in the upcoming David Eick re-imagining of “The Bionic Woman” for NBC.

Now, we have some details on who Sackoff will play and what her character’s role in the potential series will be.

Sackoff will play the original Bionic Woman in the TV pilot.

“I play Sarah Corvus,” Sackhoff said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles “She’s the original bionic woman. The first bionic woman. She doesn’t let anyone forget it. And she’s kind of gone off the reservation. She’s a little crazy.”

Sackhoff revealed that her character will have two bionic arms, “both legs, two eyes, one ear, part of my chest.” The show is a reimagining of the original 1970s series, which starred Lindsay Wagner as Jamie Sommers.

In the updated version, Michelle Ryan will play the new Jamie Sommers.

Sackhoff added: “My biggest fear was that Sarah Corvus was going to turn out like Starbuck. But she didn’t. She turned out a little like Number Six [laughs]. She’s the femme fatale. She’s dangerous. She’s sexy. She knows it, and she uses it. She walks with a purpose, and Starbuck really doesn’t. It’s … two different sides of the coin, but both misunderstood.”

“The Bionic Woman” is being looked on favorably by NBC, Sackhoff said. “It hasn’t been [picked up] … officially,” she said. “Unofficially, I’ve heard that it’s getting picked up. But we’ll find out Monday.”

As of today (May 15) it is official that the “Bionic Woman” has been picked up by NBC as one of its main shows for the 2007-08 television season.
