V Returning?

I just read this at Dark Horizons and its great that it all seems back on

Talk of a sequel or remake of the 80's alien invasion mini-series classic "V" has long been in the works, now it seems something might be moving again.

In 2004, original series creator Kenneth Johnson proposed to the networks a sequel. He was later asked to write a script for a remake instead and if successful, the remake could lead to a sequel.

Two years later Johnson announced his completion of a four hour script entitled "V: The Second Generation" set 20 years after the original mini-series. Networks however showed little interest at the time.

Then, last week Johnson released the manuscript in novel form in booksellers and this week revealed on his official site that there will be a major announcement soon to be announced "after the writers strike".

This was followed by a short message to a DH reader saying "I really hope you enjoy the novel. Stay tuned for the film version. All the best".

Ignoring events of the second mini-series "The Final Battle", 'Second Generation' has Earth still under Visitor domination and the Resistance fighting a losing battle as the majority believe that the Visitors have only helped them.

It's then that the message Julie sent into space at the end of the original miniseries is finally heard and an army of aliens, the long-sought enemies of the Visitors, reinforces the Resistance in their time of need. However, all is not as it seems.

Me too Rodd ....the tv series ruined it I thought....which is why I am kind of happy we are continuing from the first mini series and they are overlooking the second mini series (The Final Battle) and the tv series

Crikey thats completely different babe to what was said before ....he's talking now about reinventing it really in film form    it will mean re-casting all the parts the idea of 20 years later must be out the window    Still looking forward to it though but it is a shock to see the change here
Catnapper

He said about remaking the tv series so he didn't use the dreaded reimagining word......which kind of sounds like he'll stay true to the series, just expand on it for the big screen. You should go on his official website and see if you can ask him about the movie!

Oh I think he will stay true to the series aswell but he is remaking the first series again in his first film which means that there will be a new Mac Donovan and Julie Parish and a new evil Diana which is a big change because I thought all the actors were going to come back in a tv series and it was just going to be set twenty years after.....it has changed!!

If I get a chance I'll hit the V site babe.....
