Cast and crew have gone back to the sets to film the rest of Season One of V: The New Series.. They made their back to Vancouver, where the Winter Olympics has just finished up with the Closing Ceremonies.. During the course of the Closing Ceremony, there was a V connection made.. Even a memorable appearance by the legend Captain James T. Kirk, William Shatner..

The Montreal born Shatner also has ties with V.. Shatner is the father – in – law of V star Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack ).. Gretsch is married to Shatner’s daughter Melanie, and have two daughters together.. Zap2It got to recent chat with Gretsch..

” The whole family was in town.. We got to see a few events together.. It’s such an honor, the Olympics … come on, you’re part of the Olympics, representing your country, that you grew up in, it was a beautiful moment.. I was happy for the family to be able to share it with him..”

When Gretsch was asked whether Shatner will be making an appearance on V, Gretsch said he can’t guarantee he’ll ever appear on V..

” Yeah,” Gretsch says, ” I’ve got an in.. He’s so busy.. He’s got 50 different projects going on right now.. I think its unlikely, but if a role comes up, and they would ask him, if he’d be up for it … He’s just one of those guys, you know?”

The V Files has caught hold of a rumor that a big celebrity will be coming into the show at some point.. Could Shatner fit that role? He wouldn’t be the first Trekkie to join V.. As we reported earlier, Jonathan Frakes, best known for his role as Commander William T. Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation, will be beaming aboard the crew as Director.. Frakes is directing Episode 1.06 for V: The New Series, which went into production on the 16th February, and will continue through til the 25th February, which will be aired on Tuesday 6th April 2010..

ABC was planning to promote V: The New Series by sending skywriters to write “ V ” in red around famous landmarks around 26 cities, including the Golden Gate Bridge.. In response to a constituent concerned about the environmental and visual impact of this, Supervisor Bevan Dufty has fired off letters to the city, the bridge authority and the FAA..

Fans have been looking to the sky for any sign of the red V, but are still yet to see them.. An ABC spokesperson said network has simply decided to spend its money in other ways..

This came after the backlash from a report that Washington Post reporter, Lisa de Moraes, wrote.. The reporter estimated the amount of pollution the skywriting campaign would cause ( 800 grams of lead, three tons of CO2, etc ), and noted ABC’s parent company Disney had recently promised to cut its fuel emissions in half by 2012..

Since posting the first draft of this update, fans have expressed dismay that ABC is not going through with the stunt which, at the very least, was a clever idea that would have garnered the show plenty of attention.. What would have seen? How about something like this..

The Rumor: The V Files has been given a little heads up.. Rumor has it that V: The New Series, will start filming in August.. This would work as it’ll give the writers and team a break now, which will lead to better written episodes.. It’ll give writers more time to develop the scripts and digest focus group feedback.. HD Films twitter had this to say:

Looks like ” V ” will get going in August! It seems unreal!

Still looks like a mid – season January start for V: The New Series, but we’ll keep you updated to when it’ll start screening..
