Just got back to my hotel following a triple screening of Warner Brothers pilots during Preview Night at Comic-Con: Human Target (based on the DC comic of the same name, and much better than anyone might have expected it to be), Vampire Diaries (which does feel as though it's trying to cash in on the Twilight craze, though the bottom line is that no one is going to believe the two vampire brothers can possibly pass as teenagers) and "V".

The "Lizard Lady" Ilana scored an interview with David Richmond-Peck regarding his role of Georgie on the new "V". As the actor reveals, he auditioned for the part of Georgie and it was, as he says, "a tough one." Deep into shooting the prequel to Smokin' Aces, it was an audition he had to push off several times because of scheduling conflicts. He did manage to capture an audition on tape and sent it to director Yves Simoneau.

In the aftermath of the success of the original "V" in 1983, writer/director Kenneth Johnson was asked to develop a sequel, which he did in the form of the six-hour teleplay for what was called "V": The Conclusion, co-written by Peggy Goldman, Craig Buck and Diane Frolov. That script, without Johnson's involvement, ultimately became "V": The Final Battle. What follows, however, is a look at the original take on the material.
