V Cast List... part 2.... the Visitors themselves!!!
Nathan - played by actor Matthew Goode, famous for his roles in Watchmen, Leap Year and A Single Man. Nathan is the Supreme Commander of the Visitors (a combination of John and The Leader from the original mini-series'). As the leader of his people, Nathan does whatever he has to do in order to get the United Nations and the rest of the world to view the Visitors in a positive light. Because of all the assistance he offers and the peace he brokers throughout the world, mankind views him and the Visitors as Gods. To humanity, he is referred to as the Supreme Commander but the Visitors call him, "Your Excellency."....
Laura - played by award winning actress Zoe Saldana, famous for her roles in Star Trek, Avatar and The Losers. As Nathan's wife, she is automatically his Second-in-Command. Whenever Nathan is unavailable, he sends Laura out to spread the Visitor's message of hope and peace throughout the world. However, she has her own agenda as well, one that is more fierce and dark that it overshadows Nathan's plans for humanity.
Steven - played by television star Lee Pace. As Nathan's Third-in-Command, Steven is the head of all matters involving security concerning the Visitors and their allies. However, he also serves as General for the ENTIRE Visitor Army and Fleet. He is Nathan's most loyal friend and will do whatever is asked of him, no matter the costs....
Alexa - played by Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell. Alexa is Laura's personal assistant. She will do whatever Laura asks of her to do, no matter what it is.

Dylan - played by actor and dancer Alex Meraz, who came to fame as the werewolf Paul in Twilight: New Moon.

V... Long Live The Resistance!!!
First off... let me give you a lil history of the "V" franchise...
Premiering on May 1st, 1983, V: The Original Mini-Series was a two-part science fiction television miniseries, written and directed by Kenneth Johnson. First shown in 1983, it concerned aliens known as "The Visitors" trying to gain control of Earth. Due to its immense success, a second mini-series was produced. V: The Final Battle (abbreviated as V:TFB) is a 1984 TV miniseries. It is a sequel to the 1983 miniseries written by Kenneth Johnson. Johnson, however, left production of V: The Final Battle in its early stages, after completing a draft with three other writers. This draft was reckoned by the four writers to have delivered an exciting and emotionally satisfying conclusion, but NBC was not prepared to make the necessary budget available to realize the special effects. The network fired Johnson before he had the opportunity to make edits bringing The Final Battle in on a reduced budget.
Recently, ABC has remade V into a new, popular series. V is an American science fiction television series first broadcast on ABC on November 3, 2009. A re-imagining of the 1983 miniseries created by Kenneth Johnson, the new series chronicles the arrival on Earth of a technologically advanced alien species which ostensibly comes in peace, but actually has sinister motives.On May 13, 2010, ABC renewed Vfor a second season which will premiere in November 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tell you the history of V so you can get a general idea of what i'm gonna be doing with my new adaptation. the script for V that im beginning to work on will not be done in a mini-series format, but in fact a motion picture version. im already working heavily on V, deciding to push most of my other projects off to the side for the time being.
Like all other versions of V, my remade adaptation will concern the arrival of the human-like Visitors, who proclaim peace and friendship, but in fact have grave and malevolent intentions for the human race.
Within the week i will have a complete "cast list" available. for those who do not know, a "cast list" in my case is when i give characters in a script of mine a real life actor to play the role, if the script were to be imagined as a movie.
I really hope that i succeed in getting people hyped up for V. I am a huge fan of both the original mini-series' and the new series on ABC, but for a long time, for years ive been slowly working on my OWN adaptation of Kenneth Johnson's masterpiece of television history.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to get in touch with me!
Stay tuned for more updates on V, along with any updates i have for any other projects of mine.

Story Updates
for those who know and/or care... im not just working on novels but i also do stories in screenplay format. most people dont read them... well screw 'em. right now im developing a Resident Evil reboot and thats going very nicely. im picturing it being a fully computer animated, picture perfect realistic looking movie.. if it was ever made to film. itll stick VERY closely to the first game... but ill still have fun with it and do new things too!!!
also... im announcing that im gonna be starting to also develop a movie adaptation of V, the hit mini series that premiered in the 80's and is now currently a new show on ABC. however, my version of V will not be a continuation of the original mini series nor is it a side story of the new ABC show. it is my own complete retelling of the arrival of the human-like Visitors and how their presence affects our world. i have no clue when ill be working on that... since i got other stuff in the works. i just wanted to announce here that i WILL work on an adaptation of V within the foreseeable future.
