TV Guide and Warner Bros. Television teamed up for a Comic – Con ” Special Edition ” issue which went on sale Monday 26th July 2010.. TV Guide Magazine’s, William Keck, had the opportunity to sit down with V‘s Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum who has given V fans some spoilers and surprises that are installed for us when V: The New Series Season Two airs in November 2010.. We had a friend that attended Comic – Con, who was kind enough to pick up a copy for us so we can share with the fans.. So without any further adue..
TVGuide: Could you explain the Red Sky Anna ordered in the finale’s closing moments?
Scott Rosenbaum: All I will say is that it was the first shot in the war.. The Red Sky is an important tool in her arsenal to ensure her plans for humanity are successful..
TVG: Is Valerie really dead?
SR: Yes, Valerie is dead.. Anna, in an effort to gain emotional control over Ryan, killed her in order to use her death as a tool to bring him back into the V fold..
TVG: Will we get to see more of Ryan and Val’s lizard baby besides that glimpse of it’s tail?
SR: Absolutely.. Ryan’s baby will be an integral part of his Season Two emotional arc, as well as a tool for Anna to manipulate him..
TVG: Why did you decide to make Anna experience emotion over the loss of her baby army? Are we to believe that Earth’s humanity is having an impact on the Visitors?
SR: The reason the Vs are experiencing human emotion will be explained in Season Two.. The decision was based on the mythology I created about who the Vs are, where they came from and what their plan is.. I don’t want to give away the full answer right now, but beyond the mythology aspect, I also felt it was an interesting way to shape her character arc: Cold ice queen feeling an emotion.. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a positive human emotion, such as love or empathy.. It was a negative and destructive one: Vengeance..
TVG: Why was Anna so devastated over the loss of her eggs?
SR: Because she in fact felt human emotions for the first time.. Vs are bred not to have human emotions.. They are animals, only interested in the perpetuity of their species.. Human emotions are not good for this..
TVG: Anna conceived thousands of babies in an instant.. Why not just do it again, or have another female V breed an army?
SR: As for breeding capabilities, only the queen can give birth.. Anna will be able to conceive again, but it is a difficult and painful process with risks..
TVG: Will Father Jack leave the priesthood, enabling hunky Joel Gretsch to become a viable romantic leading man?
SR: Father Jack is going to have his faith shaken in Season Two.. He will face some excruciating decisions about his role in the world, the church and the war with the Vs..
TVG: Why was there no security or cameras guarding Anna’s precious stash of eggs? Both Erica and Chad moved about freely on the Mothership..
SR: The reason there are no security cameras is because the Vs are ” Of Peace..” Before coming to Earth, there was never a crime committed on the ship.. Ever.. Anna’s no fool, however, and in Season Two, security will be tightened up..
TVG: Will we get to meet more of the regular characters’ extended families?
SR: Yes.. We’ll also introduce a lot of new interesting characters..
TVG: Are you considering showing the Vs on their home planet?
SR: At some point, yes.. But first, I’m going to show them at the last planet they conquered.. It’s gonna be very, very cool..
TVG: What is the chance of seeing some cool cameos next season from the original V stars?
SR: I’m looking into it.. I hope we will see a few of them..
TVG: Will we get to see a full reptilian reveal of the Vs out of their human skin?
SR: Yes.. Next season we will see much more of the Vs.. We will learn how they function, their abilities as different from ours and all that fun stuff everyone’s looking forward to.. For instance, we’ll meet new V types, more soldiers and trackers..
TVG: We were told that we would learn by the finale why the Visitors were here and what they wanted from us, but we didn’t.. So …?
SR: If you watch the series very carefully, why they’re here is hinted at, just not spelled out.. However, in Season Two, our team will discover Anna’s plans for us and this will be more clearly ( Revealed ) for the audience..
TVG: Erica’s teenage son Tyler has seemed like kind of a wuss all season.. What are your plans for him?
SR: Tyler is no longer going to sit on his thumbs.. He’s going to get engaged in the war and pick sides.. The question is which side will he pick?
TVG: What’s the overall plan for Season Two?
SR: It’s going to be an adrenalised version of Season One.. More character reveals, more lizard reveals, more V mythology, more action and more plot twists.. We’ll really look at where the key characters came from, their back stories, peeling back layers for them.. Season Two needed to deal with a lot of setup, and now that it’s there, the dominoes are gonna fall.. Expect a roller – coaster ride..

V‘s Executive Producer, Scott Rosenbaum, has revealed that there will be ” shifting loyalties “ in V: The New Series Season Two..
Recently speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Rosenbaum suggested that the characters will face much more stress in future episodes.. Click on the image below to watch the ” First Part “ interview video..
The ” First Part “ of the interview, EW chats with Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ), Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ), Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ), Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum and Morris Chestnut ( Ryan Nichols ).. The interview starts off with EW’s Michael Ausiello congratulating Elizabeth Mitchell on her Emmy nomination for LOST as they talk about her role and acceptance speech..
Moving onto V, the Cast and Scott Rosenbaum talk about getting over the growing pains of the first season and settling into the groove of the end of season, showing the potential of Season Two.. Morris Chestnut explains that it brought them closer as a cast and helped them grow into their roles which should make Season Two an exciting year.. As Joel Gretsch gives credit to Rosenbaum for pulling Season One together after joining behind – the – scenes half way through the season..
Rosenbaum explains how he came took over half way through Season One: ” I sorta came in middle and my goal was to try plant the seeds to create something that can last for a, hopefully, a really long time.. And I think if you watch the Season Finale, there’s some very strong choices for all the different characters..”
He continued: ” Coming off from that, just being in the Writers Room, we’ve had so many great stories that we’ve come with that we’re so excited to tell..”
” I’d say the last three episodes [ Of Season One ] are probably a good template for what the show will fell like moving forward..”
” What I want to do – and what [ The cast ] are so great at doing – is find the nerve endings in the characters and just squeeze them,” he said.. ” I think what’s going to happen is, they’re in a war.. And war changes people..”
He continued: ” When you talk about loyalty, I think it’s how are these characters going to react when they’re in a war and it’s life and death and they have to choose between themselves or possibly the greater good?? Which decision are they going to make??”
When asked about Season Two’s theme changing to ” loyalties,” early in Season Two, Rosenbaum explains: ” There will be, I think, a lot of loyalties shifting and a lot of maneuvering and then the question is when they fall, what side is everyone going to be on??”
Asked how importantly it is to air the show consecutive, Rosenbaum reveals: ” The plan is to run consecutive.. Actually, the first 6 [ Episodes ], I think, will air in November [ 2010 ] and then it’s Christmas so, I think, we’ll be off for two weeks, and then we’ll run the rest of the episodes..”
Rosenbaum promised that there will be a ” huge cliffhanger “ in the middle of the season and suggested that some of the dynamics of the show will change..
” The fun of this season is finally, I’m going to have [ The ] group led by Erica start to get a little bit ahead of [ Anna's group ] for the first time and start to figure out what their plans are,” he said.. ” So they’ll know what the red sky was, but the world won’t.. But it is the first shot of the war.. You will find out what it is at the end of the first episode but it’s such a big twist that I don’t want to give it away right now..”
The ” Second Part “ of the interview, EW chats with Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ) Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Scott Wolf ( Chad Decker ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) and Executive Producer Steve Pearlman.. Click on the image below to watch the ” Second Part “ interview video..

V: The New Series ended with the skies turning red, and the emotionless Anna discovering what it feels like to be overcome with human feelings.. According to Executive Producer and Writer Scott Rosenbaum, that’s only the beginning of the changes the series will undergo in its second season..
” I think that the biggest evolution that I’m sensing for the second season is that the mythology is going to become a lot more clear; the reasons why the Vs are here,” Rosenbaum told the press following Saturday’s panel at the San Diego Comic – Con.. ” How long they’ve been here, what their plans are – and once you know what their plan is, which was danced around, but not too clear in the first season, you’ll be able to see when things happen to screw up their plans..”
When asked what happened after Anna feels her first human emotion Rosenbaum replied, ” It starts in episode one, with the continuation of the Red Sky story, and an explanation of the fact that Anna felt human emotion for the first time, and unleashed the Red Sky early, how that really starts to screw up the whole plan that Anna had come up with.. So, I think that that probably, from just a pure story perspective, is probably the biggest evolution.. I think, beyond that, that there’s going to be turning up the dial a little bit on how far the Visitors are willing to go on certain things, and how far we as storytellers are willing to go.. We want to surprise the viewers.. Not like, ‘ Oh, Anna is Lisa’s mother,’ but surprise viewers with what the Visitors will actually do.. And what [ The human ] characters will actually do; I think there are some surprises that Erica has, that push her to doing things that you never think that, as a federal agent and a mother, that she would actually consider doing … and she does..”
Rosenbaum then talked elaborately about his plan of Chad.. ” [ Also ] I think that Chad is an interesting character.. We’re also going to meet Chad’s father, this year, in the middle of the season, and I think that meeting his father is going to shed some light on why Chad has made some of the decisions in his life that he has, and I think that in the first episode, we’ll get a very clear answer as to where Chad stands morally speaking, and then we’re going to be able to see the choices he makes throughout the season, and why he does something because it’s something he morally believes is right to do, or whether it’ll be something that’s a means to an end..”
It’s not only individuals who will be impacted by the show’s evolution; the human rebellion, the Fifth Column, will also – finally – become more of a force to reckon with … and they’re not the only faction who’ll cause trouble for the Visitors..
” The Fifth Column will develop further,” Rosenbaum said.. ” One of the things that we realized over the course of the first season was, if the Fifth Column is really going to be credible taking on the Vs, it can’t just be four people.. They have to expand, so there’s a new character introduced in the first episode who’s a scientist, who has information that fits into the developing puzzle and begins to answer the puzzle that is the Visitors.. There also is, in one of the early episodes, we’ll start to see this extreme version of the Fifth Column, and so we have the Visitors and ‘ our ‘ Fifth Column and a more radical version of the Fifth Column, so it puts our people in the middle, and they’re fighting the Visitors and the radical version, because the radical version is going much further than our people find comfortable..”
” The interesting thing, while we were watching the season finale on the air … I’ll usually watch it on the East Coast feed – not the show, people’s reactions to it on Facebook, their comments as it’s streaming on Facebook, and I thought, ‘ Oh, my God.. Everyone thinks Marcus is part of the Fifth Column now..’ And to be honest, that was not something that was intentional when it comes to the writing or the execution of that episode or that scene, but it was a very interesting thing that just kind of came out.. We will definitely start to see that maybe we don’t trust Marcus quite as much as we did in the first season, maybe that he has his own agenda … I don’t know if we’ll go as far as to say that he’s part of the Fifth Column, I don’t think that’s part of the plan, but I think we’ll start to see that he has a hidden agenda, and we’ll start to see part of that, as well..”
Most of Season Two has been mapped out in broad strokes, according to Executive Producer Steve Pearlman.. ” We start production in the middle of August, so we have scripts and stories for the first three episodes at this point.. But we have a map for the first thirteen episodes this season … and we could do as much as twenty episodes this year..”
Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum revealed that, ” the Visitors have been here longer than one might have expected.. Their goal has been to be able to figure out … when we arrive, and when we get to Earth – to be set up to succeed.. They have planted seeds and done things ahead of time to ensure that the plan works perfectly..” Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) added that, ” they are planning to show a lot more of who we are..”
As a surprise reveal, producer Scott Rosenbaum shared that no one is safe and that fans should not get too attached to any one character.. To help ratchet up the octane on this series, lives will no longer just be put at risk, but lives will be lost.. After all, Earth is under attack whether it realizes it or not – and the body count will only continue to get higher.. War does not discriminate.. It will simply claim those that stand in its way or who are caught in the crossfire..
Despite the fact that so many intriguing sociological, theological and political ideas are currently being debated throughout V, the series also will try to keep the focus of the show on its ensemble cast and their increasingly interactive relationships..

The V Panel was held at 2:30pm on Saturday 24th July 2010 at the San Diego Comic – Con, which was presented in Ballroom 20.. In attendance was a star – studded cast which included Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ), Morris Chestnut ( Ryan Nichols ), Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ), Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ), Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) and Scott Wolf ( Chad Decker ), along with Executive Producers Scott Rosenbaum and Steve Pearlman..
When media reporters started lining up for the TV Panels at Comic – Con, in the wee early hours the morning, many asked nearby fans which cast they were waiting for.. A big portion of the crowd said they were already lining up for V.. Not that we ever doubted the dedication of Veeks alike.. Comic – Con goers were rewarded with lots of teases and tidbits on the upcoming season, and you get them right here without having to line up or anything..
So how is V: The New Series Season Two going to top Season One? Well during today’s panel at Comic – Con, Executive Producer Scott ( Skeeter ) Rosenbaum, promised that Season Two will be bigger and better in every way.. Rosenbaum acknowledged that ” not as many cards were turned over “ last season..
It’s no secret that V went through some serious behind – the – scene struggles its freshman year but with Rosenbaum solidly seated in the showrunner’s seat now, things are getting interesting.. One complaint some fans of the series had about the first season of the show was it felt too small in scope, given the situation.. Rosenbaum promised that Season Two of V would ” absolutely “ be bigger and that the network actually encouraged them to give the show more of an international feel, which everyone agreed was the right choice.. In fact, they’d recently sent crews to various parts of Europe and Asia to shoot footage that could be used as background for scenes they might like to spend in various countries down the line..
Lots of revelations are planned for season two, as well as tons of character backstory.. ” We’re going to see the true nature of what the visitors are about, and what they’re like underneath, so it’s going to be exciting,” says executive producer Scott Rosenbaum.. ” It will be chock full of great reveals,” Rosenbaum promises..
He also teased that Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) will look for the nurturing she’s not receiving from mother Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) by developing a closer relationship with Erica ( Elizabeth Mitchell ), while Tyler ( Logan Huffman ) will return the favor by saddling up with Anna..
Most importantly, fans will finally get to meet Anna’s mother, who will make her entrance at the end of the first episode.. Rosenbaum hinted that this character was perhaps the most important among several new characters we’ll be meeting this year.. Later, a question was asked about whether we’d go to the Visitors’ home planet, and Rosenbaum said we’d certainly learn more about them – which is when he began a sentence with, ” When we meet Diana …”
This got a big reaction, and Rosenbaum admitted he’d just accidentally given away that yes, Anna’s mother will share the name with an iconic character from the original V.. Even before we knew this fact, Rosenbaum was asked during the panel if perhaps Jane Badler, who played Diana in V: The Original Mini – Series, could play Anna’s mother.. Rosenbaum wouldn’t commit to this, though he did say ” We’re going to cast the best actor and she is certainly someone we’re thinking about,” said Rosenbaum.. ” I don’t know if she’ll be Anna’s mother, but I’d like to have her be in the show this season..” Word is that Producers are talking to Jane Badler, the original alien baddie in the 1983 version of V..
So is the name a coincidence? ” When I was pitching the concept to the network and the studio on who this character was, it was easiest to frame it in terms of if it’s her mother, is it possible that [ It's the one ] from the ’80s series?” Rosenbaum said after the panel..
Season Two will uncover a lot more mysteries about the Visitors.. What the V‘s really look like.. How long they’ve been here.. And the V‘s true reasons for coming to Earth.. More about the Visitors under Anna’s leadership.. How their extended stay has changed world events and why they’re planning to stick around..
So what else was revealed for Season Two, well in no particular order:
In regards to the ” Red Sky “ in the Season One finale, ” You will find out what the red sky means at the end of the season premiere,” Scott promises..
Viewers will be treated to a piece of the V‘s home world.. ” When we meet Diana, she’ll be in her natural habitat,” reveals Rosenbaum.. It’s through ” Diana,” ( Anna’s mother ) viewers will see where the Visitors came from.. We’re going to meet Diana towards the end of the first episode of Season Two..
Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ) was asked if there will be more ” Action Jack “ next season.. At this point, Rosenbaum steps in and says that, yes, viewers will see more of a ” Soldier Priest “ than the ” Priest Soldier “ we saw in Season One.. We can only assume Jack will be giving a little less conversation and a little more action come next season.. Though Jack started out as a man of peace, his main challenge this year will be maintaining that morality.. The show is interested in pursuing what happens when mankind’s moral compasses ( Such as priests ) start losing their morality.. ” Jack is on the far end of the spectrum as a man of peace and God, so his challenge is to be able to maintain that..” Rosenbaum likened his underground man of God to the ” moral spine “ of humanity that the Visitors are so intent on breaking.. Father Jack will continue to question his faith and his belief that peace cannot be accomplished through armed Resistance..
Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ) was asked about the strong characters she has played before; what makes Erica unique? She laughs, because she usually thinks of Erica the same as the other women.. She does say that Erica’s humanity is a major focus for her..
Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) is asked about her V offsprings being destroyed, and her subsequent scream, the first emotion she has shown.. She responds that Anna will face an interesting conflict all season after the death of her eggs.. ” It will take her closer to humanity than she wants to be,” Morena says.. Anna has a very ” slow and devious “ plan for mankind; the red sky is the first strike, and the meaning of that ominous coloring will be revealed in the first episode of the season premiere..
Erica and Anna will find that they have one thing in common: They are both losing their children.. Just as Tyler is seduced by the advanced technology of the Visitors, Lisa will continue to be handicapped by her emotions and empathy for the humans.. This will push each further away from their own mothers and into the waiting arms of a surrogate mother figure.. Tyler will align with Anna and Lisa will align with Erica – at least for a time.. Children are fickle and their attraction and desire to find something relatable and to fill the void in their hearts will draw them into worlds diametrically opposite from anything they have ever known..
Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) will look towards Erica as a nurturing mother figure, while Tyler will be drawn closer to Anna; we’ll find out exactly why Anna is so obsessed with Tyler, and whether either woman will use the others child as leverage in the war..
” Lizard love is the best love!” says the beautiful Morena Baccarin rocking a blonde head of hair.. We will be finding out why she seems to be so interested in Tyler..
Was Scott Wolf’s ( Chad Decker ) character’s aneurysm real? It’s not entirely clear.. Is Chad Decker still interested in furthering his career, or is he looking for ” lizard love?” Wolf says yes, ” lizard canoodling “ with Anna would be worth it even if she bit his head off.. He suggests that Anna’s connection to humanity has much more to do with her attraction to Chad.. He also mentions that Chad will choose an allegiance next season and that people may be surprised to discover what side Chad ends up fighting on..
We’ll also get to meet Chad’s father mid season, which will shed some light on why Chad has made some of the decisions in his life that he has..
What was the purpose of killing Ryan’s ( Morris Chestnut ) wife, Val ( Lourdes Benedicto )? Rosenbaum says that it was necessary for Anna to make Ryan see the bad sides of humanity so he’ll again be susceptible to Anna’s bliss.. So Val really is dead.. She will not be returning for Season Two..
Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ) is asked if whether a Tyler will mend the rift with his father.. He hopes so, because shooting with Nicholas Lea ( Joe Evans ) was a lot of fun.. Tyler’s father, Joe Evans ( Nicholas Lea ), will be back in Season Two.. Tyler will also find out who his birth father is..
Rosenbaum reveals that as the Fifth Column expands, they are going to meet a ” pretty radical “ group of other Fifth Columns, which will cause conflict, as they have a very different means of dealing with the war..
Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ) announced at he is coming back as a series regular for Season Two and will take a more prominent role on the show.. Will Hobbes be forced to choose sides in the impending war? It appears that he’ll have to do just that.. Just exactly where on the spectrum of good and evil he falls is not yet determined.. ” He’s seen the V‘s as a real threat and the humans will have to do something about.. In Season Two, we’ll see which way he goes,” Scott Rosenbaum spills..
In a maneuver that shocked everyone last season he sold out the Resistance for a hefty sum of money.. But like Judas, he may ultimately regret taking the 30 pieces of silver in exchange for the lives of his new – found friends..
Hobbs may not yet realize it, but Erica, Jack, and Ryan have become a quasi – family for him.. Hobbs surprisingly has trusted them enough to invite them into his life and once they are excluded he may be surprised to realize how much he needed them.. They are not only the voice of reason, but the voice of humanity – and if Hobbs wants to retain his humanity, he will need to quickly decide which side he is on.. He will also begin to recognize that money is no longer the currency that it was before the arrival of the Visitors.. Such intangibles as loyalty, love and friendship may become the currency of the day in which he will suddenly find himself craving and seeking out.. Man cannot live by money alone.. Man must have human connections or longevity will be pointless..
Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ) is asked whether Lisa is up to the challenge to be the possibile savior of humanity.. Yes, but she can’t say whether she will actually be that savior..
What is the dynamic between Erica and Anna next season? Rosenbaum said that the show is about two mothers battling for their children, and how far they are willing to go to protect their own.. There will be a burgeoning relationship between Erica and Lisa, while Tyler will be pushed towards Anna.. So, how do these women use, or not use, their new wards? Will the V‘s world be seen? Rosenbaum says that yes, when Diana, Anna’s mother, is seen, it will be in their home world.. ( This was actually an error by Rosenbaum who spoiled the name of Anna’s mom )..
What was the most shocking things for the cast? For Vandervoort, it was finding out Lisa was Anna’s daughter.. For Baccarin, it was killing Val.. Mitchell revealed that the audience will find out, definitively, why Anna is so interested in Tyler.. Rosenbaum expanded on this, saying that they are not trying to be cute about the show’s mythology.. In other words, Season Two will answer questions about the V‘s past, and their long – planned invasion of Earth, which are apparently ” very creepy..”
Will the V / human hybrid baby be central? Ryan’s child ” was not meant to be;” but Anna will use child for her ” devious advantage “ says Rosenbaum.. The hybrid is a way to manipulate Ryan.. ” The hybrid baby is another weapon, as Anna would look at it, in her arsenal..” Rosenbaum explained that her demise was a necessary power play for Anna, in her attempt to gain leverage over Ryan.. The conflicted father – to – be, seduced by the joys of human emotion needed to experience pain and suffering, another common aspect of humanity, in order to get him to return to ” V – dom..”
So is he Ryan now an enemy of the Fifth Column? Said Morris Chestnut, ” I don’t know, I think Ryan responds to the bliss depending on what kind of dress Anna is wearing..”
We’re going to find out how long the Vs have been here and whether and how they’ve changed world history.. We will find out more about how long the Vs have been putting sleeper agents on Earth.. Rosenbaum pondered, ” Have they been here in the 40s, the 50s, the 60s? Has their presence changed world events in ways we can’t imagine?” We will also find out exactly what the Visitors are, physically – whether we can truly define them as lizards or perhaps a combination of species..
Scott Rosenbaum wouldn’t say whether John May would return in Season Two..
V returns in November 2010 on ABC..
And finally, will the audience see the global impact of the V invasion? Absolutely.. While it is great to focus on the immediate concerns of those in New York, the global effect of the invasion is of major importance and will have consequences for all the characters.. We will see more of the Fifth Column around the world.. ” We’re going to be moving around more internationally,” says Rosenbaum.. The show will enjoy a global scope in season two, with footage shot in Europe and Asia.. So prepare to get global..
What do you think of V ‘s new direction? Are you on board?

ABC‘s V will be holding a panel discussion with its cast at Comic – Con this Saturday in San Diego ( 2:30 pm in Ballroom 20 ).. While it’s sure to be exciting, I’ve already received some early intel on two new characters joining the sci – fi series in its second season..
On the ground, a radical anti – Visitors Fifth Column sect will emerge, headed by a leader the show is currently casting..
But the new role that has me most jazzed: the mother of devilish V leader Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) will be making her debut.. Could this part possibly go to Jane Badler, who played the wicked Diana in the original 1980′s V? Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum recently told me he was looking to bring in some of the stars from the Original series, so wouldn’t casting Badler make perfect sense? I can only imagine the sparks that would fly if Diana and Anna ended up in the same ‘ mother ‘ ship.. Diana is about the only being I can think of who could possibly put Anna in her place, and then take granddaughter Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) out for a gerbil burger..

This is a really interesting turn of events.. I actually mentioned this role for Jane Badler ages ago.. You can read more about it here..
