Original 'V' Actress To Join Current 'V' Series!

This must be one of the most awesome, geek worthy news I've heard all week.

Jane Badler, who played the utterly cool, gerbil eating, alien visitor and villainous leader Diana on the original V series will reprise her famous role in the season premiere of the new incarnation of V in the fall.

Exclusive: Patti Beninati Talks DMAN, That V Movie, and Hooking Up Brent Spiner and NASA!

Sci-Fi Writer/Director/Producer Patti Beninati

Recently, I had the great pleasure of talking again with Sci-Fi Writer/Director/Producer Patti Beninati of Centerboro Productions and Are U Trippin Films about her upcoming Sci-Fi TV pilot called DMAN, and about her many upcoming projects. She has many things on her plate that will definitely make many of you Sci-Fi fans out there squeal with utter happiness, believe me!

Without further ado, I'm letting you read up the interview!

Q: Last time we spoke you were hard at work on many projects but specifically on an upcoming Sci-Fi TV pilot called DMAN. What stage is the project now at?

PB: In the coming weeks a sneak peek of the “DMAN” TV Pilot Trailer will be shown exclusively on Twitter first. We are in talks with a network discussing the TV series and the Pilot itself. That news will be announced sometime in June.

Chuck and V Renewed!

Well, yesterday was an interesting day for bubble genre shows Chuck and V.

Over at NBC, fan favourite Chuck received the long hoped for renewall. However, once again the network went for a 13 episodes order. Yes I know, it's better than nothing.

Over at ABC V, a show everyone thought was a goner, was renewed. Like Chuck, V received only a 13 episodes order.

Michael Trucco V Casting News

I know I don't often blog about V (actually this would be my first time) but there is some casting news that I thought would interest some of you.

Michael Trucco who played Cylon Sam Anders on Battlestar Galactica will play the mysterious John May, the leader of the Fifth Column resitance movement on the show, which is an Alien underground movement.

As of now, he will appear in one episode set to air on April 13.

I liked Trucco as Sam Anders on BSG and I'm looking forward to see what he will bring to V. If it's good, I hope we'll see more of him.
