This is a redux of Kenneth Johnson's alien invasion/rise of the Nazis allegory which first aired on NBC back in 1983.
Written on spec by Scott Peters, the new "V" will center on a female Homeland Security agent. Peters is exec producing with HDFilms principal Jason Hall.
Robert Englund, who is best known as Freddy Kruger, also starred as the lovable "Willie" on the miniseries V, its sequel V: THE FINAL BATTLE, and the subsequent V: THE SERIES.
