As long as somewhere in the series Morena Baccarin and Elizabeth Mitchell have to fight in a giant ring of Jello, I'm in.......clothing optional

I would rather they had made a theatrical movie, but I'll give this a shot. I wouldn't think they could spend enough money for effects for this. Alot of shows that are getting good ratings aren't being renewed because of money issues and reality tv being so cheap to produce.

All the Juliette fans will be happy now!

This one is straight to TV and has none of the classic characters.
Kenneth Johnson, the original's creator, is trying to get a theatrical sequel to the 80's version off the ground.

I was never a big fan of the original series, but I'll be checking it out. A reboot worked for BSG. And since Alan Tudyk and Morena Baccarin are involved, how could I not?

I now know why I'll be watching.

Here's another site with pics:

I don't have much hope for it lasting since it's on a major network (ABC). These sci fi/genre shows never stand a chance on the big 3 since their budget is big to begin with. If shows don't get American Idol type numbers the first week they're on, they're canceled by the second episode!

If it was on USA or FX or SciFi, then maybe they could've had a shot at sticking around.

 

[Gruson]

This looks really bad from the pics so far....loved the original two movies and even some of the series too.

What happened to brining back Donovan and Julie though!??!?! That would have been better IMO.

Whoever gave this the greenlight should be fired.

 

[Kuzeh]

Just because Elizabeth Mitchell is in it, I'll give this the benefit of the doubt...
loved the show when I was a kid!!

 

[Blu Falcon]

I've have the original two mini-series on DVD. It was all the rage when I was a kid. Interested in seeing what it will look like with modern day special effects added.

Me too, Still like to watch it. Be warned though. This is NOT the V we knew in the 80's. There is some kind of license "split" on V. ABC has the the rights to do a new TV version and Kenneth Johnson, the original's creator has the rights to the original characters and is trying to get a theatrical "sequel" underway. Thats really simplifying the situation, but you get the idea.

The clips look interesting... I'll check it out.

"V" : New show that ABC just picked up!

My friend who works as a producer for a special F/X company just e-mailed me that a show she works in was just picked up by ABC. Looks interesting. Check it out before anyone else! Here's the upfront trailer:

Re: "V" : New show that ABC just picked up!

That actually looks pretty interesting! Is this a remake of the show from the 70s?

Kinda reminds me of that Twilight Zone "To Serve Man"...

I remember seeing the original with my aunt when I was a little kid!!! Wasn't some girl impregnated by one of the Lizard Aliens???

Re: "V" : New show that ABC just picked up!

There are already a couple of threads about V's return on the forum.
This is not a continuation of the 80's V, but another in the long line of lets take a great old success and reimagine it, then wonder what happened if it fails.

Mods, please merge thread. I didn't realize there was another thread already. Thanks!
