The demise of the V series on ABC TV does not affect Kenny's ongoing efforts to remake his original classic miniseries as a major motion picture.
Kenny’s prime desire is to bring big-screen production values to the new V movie while carefully protecting the timeless story, the characters, quality, integrity and substance that make his original V such a favorite of worldwide audiences and a critically acclaimed, international landmark.
Efforts by Kenny and his producing partners to make the right deal for V The Movie are proceeding well and literally on a daily basis. Conversations are currently evolving with several serious funding sources and there is good reason for fans and supporters of V The Movie to be optimistic.

A new personal note from Kenny...
"I know it's difficult and frustrating for the many great fans of
V to keep hearing how we're working hard to get the
financing in order -- while it all seems to be taking forever.
Believe me, I sympathize. No one wants to be on the set of V
The Movie more than I do. But the world economy is in the
worst place it's been for years and $50 million is a very large
amount for an "independent" film -- even for one with such a
potent, fondly remembered, international Brand Name like V.
Please have faith that I and my excellent team headed by my
producing partner John Hermansen, are making the most
strenuous efforts. We have dedicated countless hours,
weeks and months to conversations with potential investors.
It’s a delicate, time consuming process to weed out truth
from fiction about their ability to actually provide the funding
we need. But we are determined to make it happen.
The situation is very promising, and has become more so in
recent days, but I don’t engage in hype. I believe in being
straight with people -- particularly the loyal fans of V. The
moment that a solid deal is in place our friends everywhere
will immediately be given the word on this site. Meanwhile,
please hold good thoughts."
