Duke Togo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I guess it all depends on your taste in women, but they need alot more than that to sell me on a TV series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles316 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) After practically every one in the United States and many parts of the world has watched Independence day; seeing a bunch of giant space ships hovering over the major cities. Every one would start running in the opposite direction. Edited May 21, 2009 by miles316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 And here I was thinking that by "V remake" you meant Comabttler V/Voltes V was getting a remake. Instead it's just "hot women" - meh.... where are the super robots? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one would start running in the opposite direction. Ofcourse Independence Day wasn't the first to do that AFAIK the original V was (one of) the first, possibly inspired by "Childhood's End" (just something I read online ofcourse ) The trailer looked okay, but trailers usually do, so I'm not passing judgement yet.

505thAirborne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Its been forever since I 1st saw V when it premiered, but I remember the original series being fairly fun to watch. Who knows could be a good remake. Hell everyone bashed the new Battlestar Galactica when it was coming out, those people had to eat their own words!!

Sorry I meant to say after watching independence day why would any one not panic after seeing a giant space ship floating over head. Waiting long enough for the giant picture of a girl.

azrael Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 so when is this coming out? Anybody know? It will be a mid-season premiere. So probably January 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Train Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 This might be interesting, if they do it right. Now that LOST is 1 season away from ending, it'd be good to have something to fill in that mid-week slot I'm so used to DVR'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Aye, somewhere in 2010. No time slot information either. All they've released is that it will come midseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 looks good so far. But I like the plain ships from the original.... just seemed more ominous and strange, But I guess Independence day stole that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LtStick Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I see giant space ships floating around I'm gonna start looking for some big guns. The bigger the better. I definetly wouldn't be hanging around waiting to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzertank Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Damn they remade this,well IMHO they will have a lot to live upto. Hell who`s gonna play Ham Tyler? Michael Ironside owned that role The Chrome effect aliens ships is a big contrast to the WHITE of the original. Plus Blue uniforms this time round eh. Well guess we`ll see how it fares.

taksraven Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I agree with those who say that they prefer the original design of the ships. The new ones look strange. Actually, this series will probably be missing one of the best elements of the original program which was Jane Badler. (Who now lives in Australia, I would like to point out) She had the right combo of beautiful and deadly, dunno if the new chick can manage. I wonder if we are going to keep the blatant Nazism of the original series. I hope that the conversion process will now involve naked actresses rather than girls in bodystockings. I hope its good.

A lot to live up to...? As I recall, the first miniseries was good and thoughtful, the second series was, um, not as good, and the TV series wasn't very good at all. Just watched the trailer...I think it's kind of interesting that they seem to be going for a religion analogy rather than the Nazi analogy of the first series. Although as others have pointed out, the whole set-up is a ripoff of Childhood's End anyways. Too bad no one ever made a movie of that, although it probably wouldn't have worked as a movie...

Taksraven I agree with everything you said. Moreover, what it's really missing is the "big reveal" of the aliens. I still remember that first scene where a visitor is exposed. That was pretty awesome stuff, and especially awesome for a tv miniseries back in the '80s. There was alot of great tension in the original, and I doubt they'll be able to recapture that as well in a remake. I'm hoping it'll be good.

Warmaker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 No Michael Ironsides = no good V. I loved his character in V I was always wondering what kind of explosive trick does he have this time? He had fun in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 IIRC, didn't Michael Ironside's character use twin Ingram SMGs? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Ingrams for sure, sometimes regular M16. Can't recall if he rolled with 2 Ingrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khyronic Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 ABC is hoping that it will be the "new Lost", as that show ends next year...I hope it's good and taken seriously by the producers. B Galactica showed reinvention CAN work...Please be good. I loved the original (mini-series especially). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excillon Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Oh christ...here we go again. You know, I'm not a loyalist, but 2 things bug me about this. One, I am so sick of reboots and remakes. Can't these overpaid Motherf***ers think of ANYTHING original?! And 2, yeah it's cheezy and dated, but the acting CANNOT be replaced. When I was a kid (about 6-7 I think) and this was on, I about pissed myself. To this day, Diana scares the bejesus out of me. That can't be replaced. Nothing is sacred anymore. Blade Runner remake anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Man, how the hell do you search a show called "V". Good thing I remembered Elizabeth Mitchell is going to be in this. Anyways. This project sounds more interesting as it'll have a set beginning to end. And it'll only have 13 episodes per season. Seems like a good way to keep up quality (assuming it's good to begin with). I've always liked the idea of mapping out the whole story and sticking to it, though they still have to write it. Much like the way Brtish shows operate. http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800449...=1&nid=2563 I really need some good sci-fi to fill in the void that Battlestar left. Here's hoping this is one of the shows that will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham BTW...never saw the original TV/Movie of V....so I was wondering..whose the chick with the M16 supposed to be in the new series? BTW...that's one humongous camera.
