There were rumors going on a while back about
two separate projects based on
V, one being developed by ABC the other by NBC (property rights are tricky). I don't know what NBC is up to, but ABC has a trailer featuring Morena Baccarin (
Firefly), Scott Wolf (
Party of Five) and Joel Gretsch (
The 4400). Rumor has it Alan Tudyk is also part of the cast.
As is all the rage these days, the writers apparently have a
plan for the series, which—if all goes well—will last for four seasons. Oddly enough, those four seasons could each have anywhere from thirteen to twenty-two episode. That's right, the plan is flexible enough that it could be anywhere from fifty-two to eight-eight episodes. Interesting.
I've watched the trailer (I'll link to it later, but I'm pretty sure you can find it on
SciFi Wire) and I'm intrigued. The biggest difference I see is that the Nazi allegory has apparently been replaced with a more religion/cult theme. I hope this doesn't bode ill for the series, as other recent shows with religious themes have disappeared almost before anyone got a chance to watch them (Does
The Book of Daniel ring any bells? How about
Kings?).
