Wolf's not fit to sniff Singer's loincloth.
-
Because only a twat would think doing this show again is a good idea.
-
This ain't one.
-
6 foot 7 and full of muscles. Also has a show on Crackle. JaceHallshow.com For the love of God don't let V suck.
-
Cast someone like that Roland Kickinger guy. Pump up the zip zap.
Go for Tarantino vibe.
Whip it.
This town needs an enema. -
craptastic idea

...it's like Seth MacFarlane is running EVERYTHING now.

Scott Wolf should be a bigger star than he is.
by ultimatenichedirectory
It's amazing that Scott doesn't have a bigger career than he does. He was a HUGE star in the mid-90s, and hasn't really lost his looks, or his talent.
-
The whiny midget pussy from Party of Five, who used to go on Entertainment Tonight and talk about how he was going to change his image by growing a beard. Yeah, sure, that's an improvement over Marc Singer. Geezus, what the hell are these people thinking?
-
but now that i know, scott can back to non-existence. No thank you

this is why we need some sort of campaign to nominate talkback quotes."Craziest quote""Best taunt""Most ill informed statement""Best comeback"Randomest statement"seriously, if someone sets up a blog for this shit with AICN's blessing, I will promote it. I can guarantee you a few thousand hits a day, and that can only help AICN.

Where do I sign up?
-
Glad they didn't choose a bad, washed up actor. Long live Double Dragon!!
-
Or do they just want to make an epic failure of a show?
-
Christian Slater is available, isn't he?
-
Man I miss them muddling through dialogue.

That's funny Herc, I thought the main character was a woman...

...named Erika Evans at Homeland Security. Maybe if I squint REAL HARD...
It appears that Wolf has the "Starbucked" role of Christine, the human reporter (and propaganda disseminator) from the original mini. -
The main protagonist role is that of a woman, HSC agent who is investigating the Visitors. I'm not saying that Scott Wolf couldn't pull of a Tranny acting job, but he's actually got the role of a male news anchor that is the propaganda mouthpiece for the Visitors.

by righteousbrother
back in the day.
-
The Nine, anyone?
-
...then this may indeed be a good piece of casting.
If this guy is supposed to be the hero, however, FAIL. -
It's good casting. I want to see who the cast for Anna(they should really change her name back to Diana).
-
I'm really sick of watching Scott Wolf try to act. All the guy does is fidget his mouth around and try to look all aww shucks all the f'in time. Oh, and his signature move , running his hands through his hair in agitation/stress/grief. He really gets a lot of mileage out of THAT day in acting class...
-
First of all, wasn't Marc Singer a camera man? Secondly why does he have to have anything to do with the news? back in 1983 the news media still had a little bit of credibility so it made sense. Why not make him a community activist who discovers people are being evicted from their homes by evil aliens pretending to be bankers. Now that would be relevant in the age of our messiah.

It's a fucking crime that Kenneth Johnson's not involved with th
by sithdan
History has shown that the V franchise simply sucks without Johnson's involvement.
-
was the camera man/hero. However that's not what they are talking about above.
There was a woman in the original show (an ex girlfriend of Singer's character) who became the Visitor's official spokesperson, and was essentially a duped collaborator. She gets killed seconds after seeing what the Visitors are really about.
The theory put forward above, is that Scott is going to play that role. -
I like my ACORN idea better. then when the show ends the human race will see that only President Obama is able to stop the "V"isitors by showing them the goodness of humanity. Or by raising our taxes and giving the visitors a bailout. I'm good either way.
-
is who should play Diana? Jane Badler was hot as hell. It'll probably go to Ali Larter because execs seem to have a massive boner for her, even though she can't act her way out of a paper bag.
-
Every talkback doesn't have to have political discussion.
-
Every talk back does not have to be a political discussion. I'd bet money that this show will be political though. Maybe the Visitors will only eat gay people and Hollywood will have Republicans side with them. A new character named “Rash Jimbaw” will say is unpatriotic to resist the aliens.
-
The fact that this would've never happened had Matthew Fox not been in Lost is the main reason why I think it's a bad idea. An actor should get a job because of his acting merits. Scott Wolf seems like a nice guy. But let's be honest. He can't lead anything (including that stupid canceled show about the back robbery from a few years back).
-
He's got to make an appearance somehow.
-
but we need a tough guy actor for V. Kevin McKidd would have been awesome.
-
It looked like Cookie Monster stuffing cookies into his mouth.
-
...And they should change her name back to Diana. I think it's cool that they're going the Galactica route keeping the character archetypes only without insulting the audience and keeping the original names. But I'd say that since Diana is the icon of the franchise it'll be really silly for them to have a blond 40-something Andrea Thompson type play some character named "Anna" who's nothing more than a pale imitation. If they keep Diana as Diana and cast someone who will remind people of Jane Badler then they'll keep anyone who is a fan of or even remotely remembers the original(basically every television viewer over 30 because 80's V was HUGE). RENA SOFER is due for a breakout role. She's been is so much great stuff over the years.
-
...after all, It was "V" that put him on the map, right?
-
Scott Wolf is a truly nice guy and he can act (he was great in GO.) Here's to hoping this show is any good.
-
now that made me laugh out loud!
-
...in stuff like Ally Mcbeal, Friends & Jurrasic Park 3. He did a TV show with Scott Wolf (not Party of Five), and said he was a really nice guy, who spent time inbetween takes chatting to all the Extras. On another note, the dad was also friends with Ellen Dow, the Rapping Granny from The Wedding Singer, and he got me her autograph. That was cool!
-
Just getting a jump on the inevitable.
-
...that the visitors can swallow him whole. Actually though, I thought the best thing about Party of Five was his portrayal of an alcoholic. They did a good job of working up to it. He also had that funny cameo on Action. I still think this show will suck however.
-
Who gives a shit, Scott Wolf is still a tool
-
Odd coincidence. Marc Singer is a badass. Kids, you missed out on a great miniseries. Sucks to be you.
-
Not criminally bad, maybe even fun while you watch it, but afterward you wonder what was the point of doing that again.
-
I'd love to see the jugaliscious, large mouthed tart unhinge her ample jaw and swallow something living.....ohhh Love!
-
Because he is just a heartbeat away from being an extra himself.

I nominate "Scott Wolf should be a bigger star than he is."

I will always be grateful to Mr. Johnson for making the original V and for his work on other shows from my youth. They are a part of what shaped my interests. Having said that, I am glad that Johnson is not involved in the remake. His idea now of who the bad guys are does not mesh with mine. Like too many Hollywood people, he has gone off the deep end with America as evil. He's entitled to that opinion, but a vast majority of people in the U.S. are proud of the country even if they are not always happy with everything. I read Johnson's interview about his ideas for a V sequel and then I read his novel sequel and I did not like it. HE can have whatever ideas he wants, but I will not watch a show that piles on to the "bash America" bandwagon.

Jason Hall, creator of 3 of the scariest video games of all time, according to IGN and Scott Peters creator of 4400 = Win.
-
For a moment I was really excited.
-
That poor man´s Tom Cruise deserves oblivion.
-
Then he'll realize it's the wrong V...then he'll go back to complaining about Watchmen!
-
The "Aww hell no!" role has been filled.
-
= the perfect foil for Scott Wolf.
-
Could this look any more like a fucking mid-week Sci-Fi channel low-budget movie piece of shit?
I mean, for fucks sake, next thing you know, they'll be signing up Lou Diamond Philips. -
Boyz in the Hood and died the single most depressingly stupid on screen black guy death in the history of cinema drinking milk, eating ho hos and scratching a lotto card like an idiot before he got sprayed.
