V TV Mini-Series coming back!
I read one of my friend’s tweets that said they were going to do a remake of the 80′s movie, Red Dawn. When I was at the Comic Con they were heavily promoting the re-make of one of my favorite TV Mini-Series from the 80s… V.
Like Red Dawn, V involves a group of resistance freedom fighters but instead of fighting Russians, they were fighting Aliens skinned to look like humans. The marketing they had at the Comic Con was pretty slick. They had booth girls roleplaying as ambassadors from the Visitors’ Mothership handing out pamphlets and pinning “I Love V” buttons on people. The pamphlets purpose is to communicate the Visitors’ intentions to “assist mankind with our knowledge and technology” and bring mankind and Visitors together “in an inspiring moment for us all.” Ha, nice. Us children of the 80′s know the Visitors’ true intentions.
So with all these re-makes (V, Red Dawn, Tron) I wonder if we going to see 25 years from now remakes of Heroes, Lost, Harry Potter, etc?
