It's worth noting that while Johnson may have created 'V' he does not own the property. Warner Brothers does. Johnson parted company with the studio during pre-production on 'V': The Final Battle and was not involved with the short-lived weekly series.
It's unclear at the moment whether Johnson's statement means the ABC project is not happening.
The posting in full:
Update 10/9/08 -- You may hear reports that Warner Bros TV is attempting to
“reimagine” V as a television series. This is relatively old news. Last fall their
new concept, which Kenny in not involved with, was passed on by all four
networks. Though ABC is again considering the possibility of developing a
TV pilot project, this does not in any way affect Kenny’s ongoing efforts to
remake his original classic as a major motion picture.
Kenny’s prime desire is to bring big-screen production values to the new
movie while protecting the quality, integrity and substance that made his
original V such a critically acclaimed, international landmark.
More soon. Ignore all other rumors -- the real deal will always be announced
here as soon as possible.
