SCOTT WOLF CAST IN ‘V’ REMAKE
03.04.09
Last October, ABC announced plans to remake “V,” the creepy alien invasion story from the ’80s that spawned two miniseries and a weekly series. And now Scott Wolf, best known (read: only known) for his role as Bailey on “Party of Five,” has been cast in the new version. Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello breathlessly reports:
Scott Wolf has been tapped to star in ABC’s reboot of the campy ’80s drama, V, sources confirm to me exclusively.
It’s believed the Party of Five alum will play the role of Ryan, an extremely good-looking dude who’s harboring a deep, dark secret from his girlfriend.
That secret: HE’S GAY! Oh, and a reptilian alien that’s part of a secret plot to take over Earth and harvest humans as food. But his girlfriend will be especially devastated about the gay thing.
By the way, seeing the ridiculous crappiness of this scene 25 years after it originally freaked the hell out of me is really disappointing. I hate to say it, but this is one series that could really benefit from the developments in special effects technology.

what i want to know is if any of the original cast will be in it,if so it will definitely be good.
The best scene was when the twins were born

Aw come on, who could forget Scott Wolf in Double Dragon????
And his character’s girlfriend will be happy that he’s expressing an interest in eating her out.
The original mini-series was pretty fucking awesome, though it was a shame it didn’t adhere more to the book, since the book had a shitload of gratuitous sex in it.
Everything else about V was trash. So let’s hope they just remake the mini-series.
@Zack — Not only was “V” not campy (though the effects look cheesy now), but it’s pretty obvious that the famous rodent-eating scene was a guinea pig, not a rat.
Think of Michael Ausiello as The Big Lead, but with sources.
Stretch Armstrong jaw had its limitations.
They should call it: VI
…campy ’80s drama…
Since when did having asshole lizard-brains take over the government, silence all the scientists, steal all our natural resources, and generally attempt to ruin American society become “campy” (aside from the Bush Administration, I mean)?
was Lacey legal in this picture? Cuz those guys really need to start paying more attention to the up and comers (teehee) rather than the dried up neverwas
That series was awesome. This clip, not so much.
Agreed, I don’t remember the hamster eating scene being so fake.
I was 5 years old hamster lover though. Richard Gere also pissed me off. Hey-o!
