It has been reported that production on the rebooted "V" television series has temporarily shut down.
This information was confirmed by Entertainment Weekly and a statement from Warner Bros.
The premiere will apparently go on as planned Nov. 3 on ABC, but what about the future of the series? And what was it that caused the snag?
A part of the The Warner Bros. statement from EW:
We will take advantage of our November premiere to maximize creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best show possible.That sounds like it could mean we're recasting, rearranging the staff and rethinking even redoing this series in the first place.
Sorry, maybe I'm just shell-shocked from all the "Dollhouse" drama last season.
Josef Adalian at THE WRAP writes it's not uncommon for shows to do this in their first season out of the gate. Changes can be made to story direction and other things.
Or it could just mean what The Envelope suggests... this two-week hiatus may be there to give Elizabeth Mitchell from 'Lost" time to finish her work on that show... maybe.
What do you think of the trailer above? And moreover, do you want to see a new "V" TV series?
I think the trailer is pretty weak compared to the 80's series. They need to show a bit more to entice viewers. I was a huge fan of the series and I would like to see more detail in the trailer. I still hope they do a great job with the series, but so far I am not sold from what I have heard and read.
I agree, the trailer needs to show more. I wish I caught that screening of the first episode at Comic-Con that got the good fan response. I really liked the original "V" mini series as well. I'll give the series a go, but I'm one of those tough viewers to win over. My TIVO hours are precious.
I WAS A BIG FAN OF THE OLD SERIES AND I OWN IT ON DVD. JUST FROM THE PREVIEW ALL I CAN SAY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
