INTERVIEW: Post-Gazette.com Interviews Jane Badler..

The Pittsburgh Post – Gazette have recently conducted an interview with Jane Badler ( Diana from V: The Original ).. During the interview, they spoke about Jane’s music, acting and V.. Badler talks about reaching out to the producers of the new V and what role she might play if she were to show up on V: The New Series..

” When I heard it was picked up as a series, part of me was so aware of the passage of time,” Badler, 55, said in a phone interview during a visit last month with her family in New Jersey.. ” I feel this ownership because I created the role and we all feel like this journey we did together and suddenly you’re not involved, at least not to begin with.. It was sort of a painful feeling..”

” They know there is a huge amount of fans, and I’m not talking about people in my age group but people in their 30s who watch television and would be very cheated not to have at least one or two characters brought back,” Badler said.. ” I’m not saying I’m the one, I just know it’s very important to connect them in some way..”

” I definitely think they’re looking for a different character,” Badler said.. ” I don’t think they’re interested in bringing me back in the same guise.. I think they want more of a surprise element so everyone would go, ‘Whoa!’ I think that’s more interesting to them and having it done so it makes total sense with lots of integrity.. I’m sure I would be a Visitor but if I was going to be part of a storyline maybe I would be a judge or a lawyer but that wouldn’t be who I really am, it would be something twisted..”

Jane recently sat down at a lunch meeting with Executive Producer of V: The New Series, Jace Hall..

Badler sings the praises of V creator Kenneth Johnson, who’s trying to launch V feature film based on his novel V: The Second Generation..

” There’s no one like him,” Badler said.. ” He created the first [ V miniseries ] and that was the real deal, the multi – dimensional one.. The impact has been extraordinary and no one could have believed that all these years later how it will not die.. So many people were touched and moved by it. I think the series had much less impact on people.. For me it was fun to do because my character has the most fun of everyone: She was evil and bisexual and powerful but really [ The series ] was very lightweight in comparison to the mini – series.. When you look back in history, it’s definitely the miniseries that will hold up..”
