ABC's Buzzworthy New Drama Shuts Down!

Filed under: TV News > Kiefer Sutherland

12-12.jpg

Alright, who's headed to rehab?!

Warner Bros. has decided to postpone production for two weeks on ABC's greatly anticipated drama, V.

The show, which reinterprets the 1980 NBC miniseries about reptile-like aliens who come to earth maintaining a friendly appearance, will halt filming next Wednesday, but the new schedule will not effect the November 3rd series premiere.

The studio would not give specifics on the temporary hiatus, only that the decision would boost the series in the long term.

Warner Bros. TV wants to "take advantage of our November premiere to maximize creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best show possible."

Sounds fishy to us!

Short breaks in production have become more common (i.e. 24), since it gives writers an unusual break for a creative resurgence. Although, we have a feeling Kiefer Sutherland's antics were the cause!

We're sure V will resume production shortly as 14 days is enough time to detox!

    …Keifer looks reptilian. Think of the money they will save on makeup.

    Do you think it has anything to do with Elizabeth Mitchell's conflicting schedule with the last season of Lost?

    dude i hope its good. I still have the 80's mini series on VHF (althought I don't own a VCR, but i just don't have the heart to throw it out) The 80's version was the best!

    They would be shutting it down so Elizabeth Mitchell can do Lost, which just started filming again this week. Looking forward to V.
