V has appeared in the latest TV Guide Magazine – Spring Preview.. The article included a chat with Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum and a new promo pic, which we provided for the fans recently..

The article went on to reveal Rosenbaum’s first order of business as the new Executive Producer and Show Runner of V.. To ” ramp up the storytelling speed..” Rosenbaum mentions that we’ll begin to learn more about the Visitors agenda.. Why they are here and what the V’s want exactly from us.. It has been mentioned before, that V: The New Series, is not taking the same road that V: The Original Mini – Series took.. In the Original, the Visitors were here because there were two shortages on the planet.. Food and water.. In V: The New Series, they are here for a different reason..

” The V’s are animals and the one thing they care about is the survival of their species.. They will do whatever it takes to ensure that..” Explains Rosenbaum..

The article also mentions the growing rivalry between Anna and Erica.. ” This show boils down to two mothers who will do anything to protect their children,” Rosenbaum says.. ” It’s all going to lead to a major battle..”

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..
