Coming up on the next episode of TNF we will be discussing V, the 1983 mini-series, The Final Battle, the Series, and the new ABC series of the same name. We will talk about the differences of the original and the new and the social and political references in both series. V: Inspired by the Sinclair Lewis novel about fascism in the United States, It Can’t Happen Here (1935), director–producer Kenneth Johnson wrote an adaptation titled Storm Warnings, in 1982. The script was presented to NBC for production as a television mini-series, but the NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too “cerebral” for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were re-cast as man-eating extraterrestrials, taking the story into the realm of science fiction to capitalize on the popularity of science-fiction franchises such as Star Wars. The new, re-cast story was the mini-series V, which premiered on May 1, 1983.

Everyone has been waiting for more information on the next INDIAN JONES project. According to an interview in Showbiz Spy, Shia LaBeouf was told the film’s storyline by Steven Spielberg—and thinks it’s “crazy.”
LaBeouf explained:
“They’re script writing right now. … I got called into Steven’s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool.”
While we wish we’d been a fly on the wall during that meeting to have gotten some of the details, we’re glad to hear there’s been some progress, and that they’ve moved beyond Marshall’s “research phase” and on to some actual writing.
