The return of V

darkskol

V has to be one of my alltime favourites. So excited there is some news of there being a new mini series:

'Kenny has delivered the final draft of the manuscript for his novel of V The
Second Generation to Tor Publications. It is expected to be in bound galleys
by April and is on schedule for a fall publication in hardcover.

Work continues with Warner Bros to get the mini-series into production and
on the air.'

Yeah, sounds like it could be good. But I've been hearing about a V series for years and so far it hasn't materialised. I certainly think that V is a highly visible series that is just right for a modern update.

That said, Kenneth Johnson is no longer the big Hollywood studio guy he used to be back when he was show runner for successful series like The Incredible Hulk and breaking ratings records with V.

But I am very hopeful that this will materialise and we'll get to see V again. AS long as they get Marc Singer and his glorious shoulders and Jane Badler to act supremely evil.

If you don't have it, I certainly suggest you get the V: The Original Mini-series on DVD if you don't have it already. The transfer is pretty good, although I'm not such if the screen ratio is correct as I can't tell if V was ever made in widescreen and if Warner Brothers have cropped the picture.

Also, Kenneth Johnson does one of the greatest DVD commentaries I have ever heard. I used to think V was fantastic before I heard him talk about it. Now I think it is freaking genius. Also, he gives out his email address at the end. Don't know if it still works, never bother to check it.

Maybe I need to drop Kenny a line and see how this V project is faring.

If it goes well it would be brilliant.
