V

[Lavoruis]

I was watching V the final conflict over the weekend,
after that, I was wondering if thery will ever remake it for sci fi channel
or something? witn updated special effects etc .
it would be good.
Well low, an behold, I looked up Marc Singer on google to see what he was up to.
and top line V the second generation in production 2006 -2007
my jaw dropped Holy Frac !
it will even have the orginal writer and creator writing this:D
so think I it will be great.

I had heard some stuff about this a year or two ago but then all the buzz fell silent. I'm glad to hear there's a timetable for it.

The V mini series were great. The series sucked. A remake would be good, modern production values, pull less punches...

Re-make! Didn't know that. Thanks. I enjoyed the original mini series.
Viewed now there's some cheese around the edges but it was good TV for its time.

The originial miniseries was eons ago, but it still sticks in my mind, especially the incredible reveal of the aliens' biological nature. (Hot lady with a lizard tongue! Sounds like a flick Jakester would write!)

I'd love to see an update of this concept, although I'm not sure a remake could have the same impact of surprise. I also think there's too much to explore in a two-hour feature film--but maybe a Sci-Fi Channel updating, along the lines of the new BSG, could be really cool.

That creepy lizard baby scared hell out me when I was 12... and the part where the half-alien baby flicked it's forked tongue after delivery... freaked me right the fuck out.


It still is mildly creepy. It's like David Icke's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_humanoid#David_Icke) worst nightmare. :smirks:

Update 6/25/06

Here's what Kenny had to say at The Bionic Woman-KJ Legacy Convention:

"We are making progress toward getting V - The Second Generation into
production. We have enlisted the aid of Brian Jamieson, a 30 year veteran of
Warner Home Video, to help secure part of the financing for this very
ambitious and costly project. All of us are committed to making the sequel
happen and to have it be of the same high quality and artistic integrity that
people have always associated with V. We hope to have more substantive
news about the film in the near future.

"In the meantime...there is surprising progress in an unexpected direction:
there will be an opportunity for the millions of fans of V worldwide to get an
early preview of The Second Generation.

"I have nearly completed a novel based upon my screenplay.

"I'm very pleased to tell you that Warners and I are in final negotiations with a
major publisher in New York to publish the novel in hardcover. The publisher
has great enthusiasm for the book and the way it carries on the stories of
many of the original characters while also introducing some quite startling
new ones.

"As with my original V, The Second Generation will hopefully be an exciting
entertainment, but also be a thoughtful look at our society and an intriguing
exploration of how ordinary people react to extraordinary circumstances -- for
better or for worse.

"The novel would go on sale by early 2007.

"And hopefully not long after we'll finally see V - The Second Generation
realized on the screen."

hope that clarifies things somewhat!
