The film stars Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) and Liam Neeson. Louis Leterrier, director of the most recent Incredible Hulk movie, will direct the script which is getting reworked by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. Yeah, the guy whose working on the Robotech live-action script. I loved Harry Hamlin in the original, looks like this version will get the 300 treatment.

Not impressed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.


Wow...This stuff this year...it's like a flunky's todo list.

Belittle "V"
Screw with "Alien Nation"
Burn "Clash of the Titans"
Make Transformers a cespool for racial comedy....

check check and check...

Man, what a tuff crowd! I can't tell much from the pics, but I am open to a remake of almost anything. I enjoyed Clash of the Titans as a kid. I hope the remake remains as true to the original as possible.

Saq, what do you mean by "belittle V" ? I thought the preview looked good.

TV's on the Bottom of Interstellar Starships....
Who designs a ship like that?
GAG-ME...

That's Hollywood sensationalism once again swiping the "Why Not" Card Account...

...a never ending cash flow of the unrealistic and unlikely.

I thought the idea was cool. It's not that they built a television into the bottom of the ship, it looked more like they had the ability to alter the surface of the ship. Didn't you see what looked like tiles flipping on the surface?

I think the giant image on the bottom of a space ship is the LEAST thing to worry about when talking about "unrealistic and unlikely". I find the idea of an alien race coming to Earth and needing to fool people into becoming their food source most unlikely! With such advanced tech you would imagine they could TAKE what they wanted. That episode of The Twilight Zone, the one with the cook book "how to serve man", I figured that was part of the inspiration for V.

Not to mention, they stole the idea from "Battle Beyond the Stars'" Saydor...

I'm not talking "like" I mean that's not realistic.
Who builds a ship for the express purpose of watching TV on the underside...
A potential ONE TIME USE for taking over a planet?

It was just tiles that turned over...like something out of Chicken Little.
Very unimaginative
Cliche'
Unrealistic sensationalism and one of a few signs that the movie will have no other purpose but to attempt to be sensational but ultimately will try too hard. NBC doesn't do good TV out the gate.

That image on the bottom of the ship really has you all ticked off!! I think tiles are not something chicken little invented. I suppose the tiles in this new V are similar to the tiles in chicken little since those ones could change color and act like cloak. Perhaps the ships in V have a similar cloak? Will that too be rip off of chicken little? I don't think so.

I think your prejudging just a little too much. Sounds like you already know how the series will turn out just because the bottom of the ship can act like a giant TV screen.

One more thing. How are we to know what is "realistic" when it comes to technology that enables interstellar travel? Perhaps the Visitors have done this before on other planets? If so, then maybe they have figured the best way to turn a population into food is to lull them into trusting you. I also don't see why nanotechnology could not easily turn just about anything into a TV screen.

personally, I find the giant tv screen on the bottom of a starship to be more possible than a transporter or a holodeck.
