UPDATED (5/21): FULL TRAILER BELOW…
“V” was something pretty special to us kids who can remember the original series that aired in the mid-80′s. Needless to say, skepticism would be an understatement when I heard about a possible reboot of another beloved series. Information has slowly trickled out over the past few weeks and last night new clips were aired on ABC. Color me… intrigued.
The promo poster kind of makes me shiver with disgust, but the new clips could be classified as interesting. They don’t spark any real chords with me (poor writing, stiff acting), but they do manage to generate at least some intrigue and a wee bit of the old Battlestar Galactica allegory (here a clear problem with the current state of the popular media). I wonder how much of the glossy look which is apparently all the trend right now will resound throughout this series.
We don’t see much but the lovely Morena Baccarin as she addresses the world upon arrival (with an interesting technique) and later at a pre-interview ethical debate.
Besides Baccarin, we have another “Firefly” cast member in Alan Tudyk making an appearance here as well as “LOST” hottie, Elizabeth Mitchell. Plenty of other recognizable faces are here as well. There had better be a Michael Ironside cameo, or someone is getting a mouthful of red powder.
Look for 4 seasons (yes, FOUR) of “V” to start sometime mid-season of 2010 on ABC.
LONGER CLIPS ARE BENEATH THE SEATS…

I LOVED V and I must admit I like what I see here in these clips. It appears to be very well cast.

If they still have the red suits, and the actress that plays Diana has a cute ass, I’m there!
Updated with full trailer.
It seems like they combined Diana and John. Boo.
Though I do like the religious angle they seem to be going with this and the idea of embracing change. Their certainly is the potential to be pretty subversive with that direction.
Yea, I really dug Richard Heard in the original series. Didn’t think much of the big-boss lady when she finally arrived in V: THE FINAL BATTLE, though.
Lots of Ironside in Terminator:S. nice.
Am I really the only one who thinks that Diana’s ass was the most important element of the original series!?
