V remake details emerge

Alan Tudyk and Elizabeth Mitchell have joined the cast of the upcoming V remake, which is a mixed blessing indeed. On the one hand, they're both talented actors with serious geek cred - Tudyk is a fan favorite from Firefly and Dollhouse, while Mitchell has been very effective as Juliet on Lost. On the other hand, Tudyk's role on V probably means we won't see much of Alpha on Dollhouse's second season, while Mitchell's casting on V probably spells the end for Lost's Juliet/Sawyer/Jack/Kate romantic quadrangle. But at least V is sounding sort of interesting, and the cast will be filled out by other genre faves like The 4400's Joel Gretsch and Tudyk's Firefly co-star Morena Baccarin.

A new trailer for the series is online, and it's a whopper at nearly three minutes long. (Click the image above to buy the original V miniseries on DVD.)
