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.
