V: The Second Generation(NBC) & V (ABC)

[Grant Matrix]

I am very apprehensive about this whole thing. V was one of the best mini series ever to air on TV and is a classic. I would really rather see some kind of continuation rather than a reimagining, but I am going to try and keep an open mind. Hopefullt ABC is planning on going the miniseries route and not put into a full season schedul right away. TV studio mentality being what it is, if its not the best show on TV ABC will scuttle it after a couple short weeks. Something like this would be better suited on FX where you can real gritty.

I actually talked to Kenneth Johnson over the weekend about this

Neither project has been greenlit yet. Essentially they know they want to bring back "V", but WB doesn't know how they want to go yet. So this is more of a desire to see a TV concept

Here's his official statement on the matter from his website

Update 10/9/08 -- You may hear reports that Warner Bros TV is attempting to
“reimagine” V as a television series. This is relatively old news. Last fall their
new concept, which Kenny in not involved with, was passed on by all four
networks. Though ABC is again considering the possibility of developing a
TV pilot project, this does not in any way affect Kenny’s ongoing efforts to
remake his original classic as a major motion picture.

Kenny’s prime desire is to bring big-screen production values to the new
movie while protecting the quality, integrity and substance that made his
original V such a critically acclaimed, international landmark.

More soon. Ignore all other rumors -- the real deal will always be announced
here as soon as possible.

If you want to see how he wanted things to go (He did not do "The Final Battle" or the TV series) pick up his book "V: The Second Generation"

Was an excellent book. I used to read all the books, watch the shows, etc. Was great how easily I got right back into it
