Morena Baccarin takes over from Jane Badler.
Visitorsite.net is reporting that Morena Baccarin has landed the lead role of Anna in V.
In this reimagining of the classic mini-series from the 80's, Morena is taking the role of Anna, which appears to be similar to Jane Badler's iconic Diana from the original.
Filming is slated to begin in Vancouver on March 18th.

I just hope the show is a worthy successor to the original :)

The same way they did it in the 80s?

And for the record, Morena Baccarin is a so much better choice than Famke Janssen. Morena Baccarin telling the world she is kind and benevolent alien in human form, I'd buy that. Famke Janssen, not so much , I still see her as that evil KGB agent from Golden Eye.

I'm glad for her. She will get a lot of exposure.

You mean how just about every week somebody in the resistance got captured and taken to a base ship and then made a daring and implausible escape? I kind of hope not, cause I thought that started to wear thin after a while.
Still, am very excited to have Morena in town so that I can have a new and exciting BDH to possibly run into at the IHOP.

And years later I heard Anthony Edwards telling a story about a particularly hard day on the set of ER. It was during the first series and one of my fav ER episodes. A woman who is almost to term comes in with pains, Dr Green thoroughly checks her out and gives her the all clear.
Half hour after she's released she collapses and when she comes back in he fights complication after complication in an attempt to save the baby & the mother. It was an absolutely heart rendering episode and Anthony Edwards was telling a talk show host how difficult it was to shoot because every scene was so tense.
So one of the top make-up guys got together with Anthony to give the crew a surprise. Just as the mother gives birth and Dr Green pulls out the baby ...
He pulled out the green baby alien from V! The top make-up guy on ER was the top make-up dude on V and he still had the model that was used for the series. Apparently it worked a treat. Everyone screamed their heads off and then laughed for like an hour afterward.

Yeah, that took a long time....
Anyhoo, here's looking forward to seeing Morena wearing those tight costumes and eating mice.

Morena will knock it out of the park.

It also feels wrong if there's no Marc Singer or Faye Grant involvement. Use them as more stately Visitors or middle-aged humans. Hell, if they keep the Daniel subplot, they could be his parents, albeit not Jewish.
Anyway, Morena will be perfect for this.

This is so great. I loved "V" the first time around. I'm excited they're re-doing it. And Morena's in it? Squee!

Good God, nobody deserves that! Especially given my horrifically bad Zaboo-esque IHOP pickup line.
