"V" is returning

[Buzz Bumble]

The hamster-eating lizardmen are back! There are two different and competing versions in the works.

The first, and unfortunately most likely, is yet another silly "reimaging" that is probably going to be a butchered, very different version to the original

This is from ComingSoon.net ...

V is Returning to TV!
ABC is developing a new adaptation of "V," the 1980s miniseries about alien lizards visiting Earth, reports Variety.

"V" spawned a second miniseries and TV spin-off — written by "The 4400" co-creator/executive producer Scott Peters.

Warner Bros. TV, which was behind the original, is once again producing the project, which was sold as a spec script to ABC.

Peters is set to executive produce, along with HDFilms principal Jace Hall.

The new "V" will center on Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son who's got problems. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them — causing tension within the family. As in the original "V," several storylines will unfold simultaneously.

As in the '80s version, the show will open with an enormous army of spaceships hovering over the world's major cities. The visitors say they've come to help Earth, but their motives are nefarious.

BUT
A better, sequel version is being done by the original's creator, Kenneth Johnson. This one is called "V: The Second Generation" and has been in the works much longer. It is already available in book form from places like Amazon and is planned as a cinema movie. Hopefully it is this version that "wins".
