Alan Tudyk Talks About The Link Between V: The New Series And Firefly..

Alan Tudyk, who stars in ABC’s sci – fi pilot for a remake of V, told a group of reporters that the new version is what you remember the original was.. V is based on the 1980′s series about lizard – like aliens taking human form to invade Earth..

” If you are a fan, which I was and still am, of the first one, this is kind of everything that you remember, without going back and watching,” Tudyk said in a conference call on Monday to promote Fox’s ‘ Dollhouse..’ ” If you go back and watch the original V, you’re like, ‘ Oh, I thought this was great.. It kind of looks really cheesy..’ It fills in your memory as it should be..”

One of the major factors in this update, Tudyk added, is the top – notch visual effects.. ” It’s really awesome effects,” he said.. ” The effects are done by Zoic Studio’s, who did ‘ Firefly ‘ [ In which Tudyk starred ].. Zoic Studio’s does all the spacecrafts.. Anything requiring digital enhancement is Zoic Studio’s, and they do a great job.. Zoic were the masters behind the effects in ‘ Battlestar Galactica,’ ‘ Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ‘ and ‘ Firely ‘ and their work can be seen episode to episode in ‘ Fringe ‘ ( To name just a few of the many series they work on)..” You can check out stills of their effects out at Zoic Studio’s..

” Then, of course, Morena Baccarin is in it, and she’s the leader of the aliens, so you can’t get any better than that..” Baccarin co – starred with Tudyk in ‘ Firefly ‘ and its movie spinoff, ‘ Serenity..’

Unfortunately, there is no ‘ Firefly ‘ reunion. At least in the pilot, Tudyk has no scenes with Baccarin.. ” No, but we got to hang out, and that was cool,” he commented..
