"V" 2: the second generation,,, casting?

Who would you want to return?





its gonna be set 20 years after the original Mini series where aliens called the Visitors come to earth and promise us peace and prosperity (showing us new things) but are in fact here for our water and us for food.





a small resistance formed to fight them.





there was a sequel mini series called "Final battle" where the resistance discovers a toxin that will kill the lizard aliens (they wear fake human skin to look like us), and drive them off.





There was also a second invasion (this time a true invasion) called "V the tv series"





this will go as if the two sequels never happened.





At the end of the original series, the resistance sends a radio transmission ino space to contact a alien force that once defeated the Visitors.





they have arrived. 3 beings of extreme power. But whos side will they be on??????





Last thing i heard:





Jane Balder (Dianna)


Faye Grant (Julie)

Additional Details





4 hours ago


dead. Having died 10 years after original events.





who else would you have return? who would make a good new resistance?





plenty of charectors survived the series





the resistance is finally ready to strike at the Visitors, but the "Leader" is on his way and time for Earth is running out.

"V" 2: the second generation,,, casting?
Actually, Mark Singer played Mike Donovan.





I would like Michael Ironside as Ham, Judson Scott, John Calvin, Faye Grant as Julie, and, most of all, Duncan Regehr of the past cast to return. Since the Sirians use the outer covering, Duncan wouldn't have to be Charles, for example; he could be either someone related to him or an entirely different alien. Nicky Katt come join the cast; he played Donovan's son when he was in his early teens, if memory serves. I'm certain I'll think of more actors/characters later.





It would be fascinating to see what happens when Earth gets a response from the Sirians' enemies, an alien race the Resistance hopes would be on Earth's side~although they could be going from the frying pan into the fire. This plot reminds me of the Colossus trilogy of novels. In "Colossus: The Forbin Project", the supercomputer takes control; in "The Fall of Colossus", the computer is defeated; in "Colossus and the Crab", an invation of aliens from the Crab Nebula forces the people of Earth to revive Colossus. Well, the Sirians looked like the most dreadful enemy; but, what if the summoned aliens are worse?!





I guess return cast depends on if they're starting from scratch or picking up where they left off. Either way, I'll be there to watch and record! Occasionally, I unearth "V" and "V: The Final Battle" to watch again. Sadly, I had VCR problems back then and have only a few series episodes. I do have a complete set of the novels.





I'm certain there are many "V" fans left over and that a new project would win many more. Now, if they don't mess with the formula too much...
Reply:I used to love that Tv show.
Reply:I enjoyed that show. Mark Singer from Beastmaster (the movie) played the part of Mike Donalven. you say Mark has also agreed to come back? If so, that's cool. It just wouln't be V without him.
