Yeah, this has been percolating for awhile. Years, in fact. The reason the novel came out is that there was no movement on the miniseries. I've yet to read
the book, though I really want to, as a long time "V" fan. Sadly, however, as the months turn to years, I tend to doubt this will happen.
On the other hand, Sci Fi (owned by the same parent as NBC) is going to need a new gritty "Sci-Fi Original Series" to replace Battlestar Galactica after next year. Dare we hope? Probably not. Anyway, for the best info, check here: http://www.mindpulse.com/users/lizlady/lizard5.htm This chick has ALL the inside dirt, knowing Kenneth Johnson and several cast members personally. And so far as I can tell she's no phony; her info tends to be dead on.

Sci-Fi is always hit and miss. I find them really annoying as they get hit shows and then they replace them or cancel them but then create crap and keep it
running for years on end. I really hope a new V series can come off as good as Battlestar otherwise we may just get another Flash Gordon!

Hi everyone.
I'm new to this forum and to the ConX game. First, forgive my english 'cause it's not my native language. Second, here are some news about "V". http://www.variety.com/VR1117993725.html And Robert Englund will be back on this new version.
I see a bad moon arising.

This here:
"Original "V" writer-producer-director Kenneth Johnson recently attempted to revive "V" as "V: The Second Generation" but is not involved in the Peters version" Tells me I have no desire to watch this inevitable abortion. Even Battlestar Galactica was smart enough to Keep Glen Larson on board as a creative consultant. If you want to see what V looks like without Kenneth Johnson, really, just watch V: the Series...or as I like to call it, "Dallas in Space." V the Second Generation has been lauded and hailed by fans of the original miniseries as the sequel we've been waiting for since 1983. That the networks can crap on it in favor of this garbage is just further proof that Hollywood needs to take its finger out of its ass and find the pulse. That being said, again, look at Ilana's page for some information regarding this: http://www.mindpulse.com/...lady/scrollingupdates.htm Also, the REAL V may see a theatrical remake (with sequel) done by Kenneth Johnson: http://news.yahoo.com/s/e...spye8hnKBs7.OFhnr8nURr7sF

Guess I'm the odd person out.
I hated the new BSG series. The main reason, they turned heroic people into scumballs. Drama by butt. It should have been about heroes. As for "V". I hope it is not modernized and turned into a crapy melodram (like BSG). Keep the heroism coming. Rebel against the Vistors. And for goodness sake, do not turn Male characters into Woman characters. The old show had good strong women already, leave some places for the men.

Only in the Online vocial communities however. Most people who dislike bsg just ignore posts about it.
Back to "V" though. Lets just hope the reimaging is not too far away from the original. The original was brillient.
