V The Second Generation discussion
 

Has anyone here read this book yet?

I just finished it and was wondering what others thought about it.
I wanted to put off reading it, until after I saw he new mini-series, but who knows if that will ever happen.

Looks like I figured out spoiler tags so here it goes.



By the way Gooder = worse nick name ever, The Fixer = the greatest. Just a randon thought.

I'd also like to "watch it before i read it", but I imagine the mini-series will be years away (if at all). So I think i'm gonna go ahead and read it, but I need to watch the original mini-series again first since it has been many a year since I last saw it.

Did you like the book?

I did like the book and am glad I went ahead and read it.

One thing to note, I don't think if the mini-series ever got made of this, that it would or could be 100% true to the book. That may be what the hold up is for getting the new Mini-series going.So it is possible to read the book now and still get some surprises if the mini ever gets made.

Things that may have to change for the tv mini -

I'm about half-way through it...I think it's great (certainly better than "The Final Battle" - which Kenny Johnson had virtually NOTHING to do with...he's actually never even watched it).

I'm a little shocked it didn't get a bigger roll-out press-wise...most people I talk to didn't even know a book was out!

The last update about "V" on Kenny Johnson's website (a 2/12 update) indicated that they were still working on putting a deal together to get it in front of the cameras...I believe the newest deal they're working on actually has it being released as a THEATRICAL film through Warners, which would be very, very exciting if it came to pass!

In the past year, NBC passed, a deal couldn't be worked out with ABC, and although they were close to a deal with AMC, that fell through as well.

I guess they couldn't cut a deal with Sci-Fi channel either, since Universal owns the Sci-Fi Channel and Warners (which owns "V") refused to work out a deal (Kenny compares it to Ford and Chevy trying to make a car together!).
