One of my favorite miniseries from when I was a kid, V: The Original Miniseries has been in the news. Kenneth Johnson, the original writer / director has struck a deal with NBC to make a new 3 hour movie bringing V back.

Taking place 20 years in the future, mankind is still fighting the Visitors when a new ally shows up to help the humans win.

Too bad it’s not a mini-series. I bought V and V:Final Battle when they came out on DVD last year. Of course it wasn’t as good as I remembered it, but considering the first one was in 1983, it’s suprising how well it did hold up. I more than enjoyed watching it on DVD, especially without commercials, and the quality was really good.

We’ll see how good the new one is.
