In 1983, Aliens pretending to be friendly come to Earth and are received openly. The aliens have masqueraded themselves to look just like humans. When it is discovered that the aliens' planet is dying and that they have come to rape the Earth of its natural resources, the war for Earth begins.

In the early 80's I was enthralled with the mini series of V. Nothing came close to the awe that the series had on many people, not even Star Trek. V was totally new and had viewers hooked with its invasion storyline. Not since HG. Wells' The War Of The Worlds radio broadcast had a Sci-Fi series hold its watchers captive.

V started as a mini series, spread over 5 night 2 hourly slots. The first 2 episodes saw over 50 giant saucer shaped disks appear through the clouds across most of the major cities in the world. They came in peace, looking for our help, and befriended the most powerful and influential people in government and technical fields.

Only a handful of people noticed that something was wrong. Half of the town is going missing, strange things happening that others seem not to notice...

The last 3 episodes were called The Final Battle, and you found out the truth about why the Visitors (aliens) came to our planet. We battle the aliens and win, sending them fleeing with their scaly tails between their legs.

After this came a 21 episode series that continued from the original mini-series, but I'm not going to talk about that.

Its almost 26 years since the visitors came to earth, but now they are back. 2009 will see V: The Second Generation. This is a brand new mini-series, again like the 21 part series, will continue the theme of the Visitors on earth.

There are a few things I have really looked forward to, like the War of the Worlds Movie, Spiderman 2,3 and 4. Knight Rider the new series and movie (I know my name is Michael Knight, but hey, I can still be interested). But out of all the things that I have waited for, none holds more interest than the new V Mini-Series. I bought the book, but refuse to read it until I have seen the TV series, I want to see if it keeps me as hooked as it did back in 1983. I really can't wait.

What's more, quite a few of the Original Cast, Marc Singer, Faye Grant, Robert Englund (Freddy Kruger), Michael Ironside & Blair Tefkin have all signed on to revive their characters from the 83' series. Its just going to be great.

This is a Fan Made trailer - I will update this when the Official one gets released.
