Attention, Reptilian lovers: ABC is bringing back "V"

"The 4400" co-creator Scott Peters is penning a remake of the 1983 Nazi-lizard alien-invastion miniseries "V."

Variety describes the premise:

In this case, the new "V" will center on Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son who’s got problems. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them — causing tension within the family. As in the original "V," several storylines will unfold simultaneously.

But even without the same storyline, the original "V’s" bones will remain: As in the ’80s version, the show will open with an enormous army of spaceships hovering over the world’s major cities. The visitors say they’ve come to help Earth, but their motives are nefarious (in the original, they wanted to steal the world’s water supply).
