V: The Second Generation as a Movie Franchise?

The title of this post says it all. Is Kenneth Johnson’s “V: The Second Generation”, his sequel to his 1980s mini-series hit “V: The Original Mini-Series” and “V: The Final Battle” (okay, not so much the second one, which Mr. Johnson didn’t really have a lot to do with, which explains why it was not exactly all that great), gearing up for movie production? Yes, says the man himself. Or at least, he hopes to have the franchise move to the big screen, where it will launch a franchise with the big great helping of today’s CGI technology. More news about this below.

Kenneth Johnson Returns with V: The Second Generation

I have a soft spot for Kenneth Johnson’s original “V” mini-series, aka “V: The Original Miniseries”. In fact, I have a soft spot for Ken himself. Once, a while back, after viewing the “V” DVD, I emailed Ken and, to my astonishment, actually got a response. Now, Ken returns with “V: The Second Generation”, a novel that picks up 20 years after the events of the first “V” mini-series, but not “V: The Final Battle” mini-series, which Ken was not involved in. And oh yeah, forget the crappy TV show; it has nothing to do with “Second Generation”, either.
