Steven Spielberg sure does love his Aliens. Of course he has made some of the greatest sci-fi alien films of all time. So I trust him when it comes to telling a story about aliens invading earth. This is not a movie though, this is going to be a potential TV series. I loved Spielberg’s ‘Taken” series. It showed what can be done on a limited TV budget, and it looks great. So this new show should be interesting.
It looks like Steven Spielberg has a lead actor in mind to head up the show. Noah Wyle who played Dr. Carter in ‘ER’ is his man.
The untitled alien invasion pilot is being developed for TNT and the story takes place six months after evil extra terrestrials decimate mankind. Wyle would play the leader of a ragtag group of citizens who try to bring down the aggressors.
Sounds like Speilberg has found some inspiration from the TV show ‘V’, but he obviously has a better version in mind.
You really can’t go wrong with Spielberg and Aliens. What are your thoughts on the show and Noah Wyle being cast in the show?

who knows….who knows….? v was cool when i was a kid in the 80's, but a remake of even that seems like an atrocity. pete and noah, huh? i dont think that after independence day came out, anything could live up to that kind of invasion, except independence day2? why is it always aliens invading earth – why not the other way around?….oh yeah, did venkman lose his doctor title? see you in surgery.
Noah and Spielberg sounds good. The timing is bad since V is coming back. The worst part of the equation, though, is TNT. They'll ruin it if they can. Just like Staczynski's Crusade and a dozen other shows with potential.
I would watch the first season at least
V, Independence day, X Files, The Day The Earth Stood Still and now Spielberg behind a new Alien Invasion TV Series. who cares? sounds sweet to me!
