Elizabeth Mitchell Speaks About V

Elizabeth Mitchell has been speaking to Sci-Fi Wire about her role in the remake of V.

She told Sci-Fi Wire: "I also feel a tremendous obligation to the people who watched before to not mess it up. So, yes, the memories do come back. However, my character didn't really exist, its a compilation of other characters."

She added: "But I have a little bit of a gift here. I'm able to really love the old and not feel bad about being in the new, so it's good."
