  • Kenneth Johnson (born 26 October 1942) is an American screenwriter, producer and director best known as the creator of the television series V and The Incredible Hulk. His creative efforts are almost entirely concentrated in the area of television science fiction. A native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Johnson is a graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. His early TV work includes The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman and The Incredible Hulk. Johnson created the character of Jaime Sommers and the Bionic Woman series. In 1983, he wrote and directed the original mini-series V, about an invasion of Earth by reptilian aliens. The mini-series aired on NBC, and a year later was followed by a sequel, V: The Final Battle, which Johnson briefly worked on before leaving the project due to disagreements with the network. Johnson was subsequently credited as a co-writer of the sequel mini-series under the pseudonym Lillian Weezer, and was not involved at all in the weekly V television series that followed. In 1989, he produced the television series Alien Nation based on the 1988 film of the same name. In 1997, he wrote and directed the movie Steel, based on the DC comic book character Steel. It featured basketball player Shaquille O'Neal as John Henry Irons, the character's alter-ego. In 2006, Johnson announced his completion of a four hour script for a new V mini series called V: The Second Generation. The storyline takes place 20 years after the original 1983 mini-series, ignoring the second mini-series and subsequent weekly television series. However, NBC told Johnson that they were more interested in a remake of the original V mini-series instead, which, if successful, might lead to his proposed sequel. Since then, Johnson adapted his screenplay for V: The Second Generation into a novel. It was published by Tor Books and released on February 5, 2008. However, since his discussions with NBC, Warner Bros (who hold the television rights to the V franchise) have opted to produce a remake of V for the ABC Network, thus ending any prospect of Johnson's sequel being produced for television. In April 2008, Johnson stated his intention to remake the original V mini-series and his new sequel V: The Second Generation into feature films. Johnson claimed to have been in discussions with producers interested in the project, though was extremely vague: "... since I own the motion picture rights to V, we’re in the process to do a remake of the original mini-series first as a theatrical feature, which I’m so jazzed about because it will give me an opportunity to really realize it and execute it in a way that was impossible to do back then. Then that will lead to the obvious sequel, because it is a franchise, and then we’ll get into The Second Generation and I'm hoping we’ll be able to do two movies, because there’s certainly enough material in the novel to warrant two separate sequels. That’s my goal at this point and that’s what we’re in the process of doing. I just literally came from a meeting, 15-20 minutes ago with a fellow in Beverly Hills who really says that we’re gonna do it. " However, since this statement, Johnson's potential film production has not been developed further, whilst Warner Bros' planned television remake for ABC is now in production and scheduled for broadcast in late 2009. However, in late August of 2009, production on the show was temporarily halted as rumors abounded that the show's new producers were seeking to remove Johnson's name from the project, claiming that the show's new premise is different enough that it no longer qualifies as a remake, but rather an original work.

En Abril de 2008 Kenneth Johnson continúa con su proyecto de su nueva miniserie aunque los detalles están aún en proceso de estudio, en una entrevista al portal The Deadbolt comentó acerca del futuro "V": "... desde que poseo los derechos de la película V estamos en proceso de producir un remake cinematográfico de La Miniserie Original primeramente como un avance escénico, por lo que estoy entusiasmado pues me dará la oportunidad de producirlo y dirijirlo de una manera que era realmente imposible hacerlo antes. Entonces esto conducirá obviamente a una secuela, porque esto es una licencia, y luego seguiremos con V La Segunda Generación y espero que seamos capaces de hacer dos películas, porque hay seguramente bastante material en la novela para garantizar dos secuelas separadas. Éste es el punto de mi objetivo y estamos en proceso de hacerlo. Justamente vine de una reunión, hace 15-20 minutos con un colega en Beverly Hills quien me confirmó que la realizaremos".
