ARTICLE: The Age Talks With Morena Baccarin..

The story behind ’80s sci – fi thriller V has a modern – day relevance, writes Michael Idato..

WANTED: actress willing to eat a rat.. The job ad didn’t quite read that bluntly but actress Morena Baccarin, who plays the alien leader in the inVasion – conspiracy thriller V, admits an appetite for rodents was most assuredly on the wish list when she walked into the casting room..

Scott Peters, the writer – producer of the remake of the 1980s science – fiction thriller V, has promised his redux will touch on some of the iconic moments in the original, including the skin – crawling scene in which the leader of the invading aliens consumes a living rat..

” I don’t feel great about eating a rat,’‘ confesses Baccarin, who is playing the alien leader Anna in the remake..

At the time of our conversation, only a handful of the one – hour episodes have been produced and while no rats have yet been harmed in the making of this television series, Baccarin knows it is coming..

” I’ve been asked if I have any problems with rodents.. I don’t have a huge problem but I don’t really want to eat one..”

The remake, much like the original, opens with the unexpected arrival of enormous alien space ships over 29 major cities around the world.. These ” Visitors,” through the charismatic Anna, claim to come in peace, offering scientific and medical knowledge in exchange for much – needed resources.. But the smiling face of peace masks a more sinister intent: global conquest..

Set against the alien inVaders are a handful of rebels, including FBI counter – terrorism agent Erica Evans ( Elizabeth Mitchell ), who discovers alien infiltration into government, business and religious organisations has been going on for decades; Ryan Nichols ( Morris Chestnut ), a Visitor sleeper agent who is working against his own people; Catholic priest Father Jack Landry ( Joel Gretsch ) and journalist Chad Decker ( Scott Wolf ), who is caught in an ethical abyss between information and propaganda when, in search of an exclusive, he, in effect, does a deal with the devil..

The centrepiece of the show’s marketing is the same as that used to launch the original series almost three decades ago – an iconic image of a huge alien space ship over a city..

Baccarin says the image is powerful because it highlights our vulnerability.. ” It’s so very vulnerable to have something looming over us in the sky, and then Anna appears for her people, out of this looming, destructive thing, and appears to calm everybody down, saying she’s going to help you, to nurture you and everything is going to be fine..”

Which, of course, it won’t.. Those old enough to remember the original mini – series, which aired in 1983, and was followed by another mini – series V: The Final Battle ( 1984 ) and finally V: The Series ( 1984 – 1985 ), will know that behind the smiling facades of rubberised skin is a race of reptiles, intent on stealing the Earth’s resources to replace its own depleted stocks and to remove the human race into frozen storage..

While some of those elements, in broad – brush terms, appear in the remake, the detail is quite different.. Baccarin says the producers deliberately sought to give the new show its own identity..

” I knew about the original V, so I knew what the show was about.. We had a conversation about the character and his initial thoughts were not to make her inhuman or alien but as nurturing and as human as possible,” she says.. ” It was great to get that perspective on it, to know that it wasn’t going to be a certain kind of show, that it was going to be grounded..”

The series has won rave reviews in the US.. The Hollywood Reporter called it ” clever enough for a cult following ” and USA Today ranked it one on its list of top 10 new shows in 2009..

” I would like to say that I have a healthy amount of cynicism,” cautions Baccarin, but ” I’m very excited about the show.. I love the buzz around it. I think people are going to love it, because I love it, but if they don’t, they don’t and there is nothing I can do about that.. We’ve done the best we could and I really stand by the show..”

Much more than its own antecedent, which is largely remembered for its camp touches, including bitchy verbal interplay between the female Visitor commanders, the remake of V owes a greater debt to the 2003 remake of Battlestar: Galactica, which turned a 1970s science – fiction franchise into a contemporary political thriller almost without peer..

The original V played on an allegory of fascism and borrowed some themes – including the marginalisation of scientists and the removal of citizens to internment camps – from Nazism and World War II.. The remake takes that a step further, rolling religious fanaticism and terrorism into the thematic mix..

Baccarin is cautious to brand the show a political drama.. ” The politics isn’t the heart of the story and in a way I think people are tired of politics, a little tired of television making big statements. Television is entertainment, at least the way we’re doing it,” she says..

” That said, these are wonderful characters and character stories, and there are political statements which deepen the show and make it about something..”

Morena Baccarin Talks About Anna..

As the leader of the alien Visitors, Morena Baccarin sports prime time’s most prominent pixie haircut.. And don’t tell her bosses at ABC, but she has gotten a little sick of it..

“I want to bleach my hair blond.. I’d love to, but they would kill me right now if I did that,” she says..

Baccarin, 30, is animated and peppy in person.. On screen, she’s as cool as, well, a lizard..

So she’s particularly excited that this week, ” you get to see what makes Anna tick a little bit.. It’s fun to be mysterious.. I know that what Anna is doing and what her agenda is are really important, but you can’t let on.. I have to make her likable and intriguing to people who feel like they shouldn’t like her..”

The Los Angeles – based actress, who was born in Brazil but grew up in New York, auditioned for the part and landed the job in one day..

” I read this role and gravitated toward it, which I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing,” she says with a laugh..

Her shorn hair, which she had cut earlier, worked in her favor.. ” There was a tiny bit of debate in the beginning.. There was a second there where we discussed if she should have long hair.. But having her be different would be better.. I voiced my opinion that she should be crisp and clean and precise.. The costume designer totally agreed..”

Given that Baccarin played a courtesan in Joss Whedon’s sci – fi series Firefly and its big – screen adaptation, Serenity, has she been crowned the queen of the geeks?

Sort of..

” It’s been really weird to walk down the street.. At the post office the other day, a woman said I looked exactly like the alien on V.. It’s so weird to have people recognize you.. They look at you like you’re an alien..”
