Prepare For Their Arrival As “V: The Complete First Season” Lands On Earth November 2, 2010, From Warner Home Video
(July 27, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Are these alien visitors here to save us or hurt us? What are their intentions after arriving on Earth? What is the shocking truth behind the visitors – or V’s? The reimagining of the highly popular 1980s miniseries attempts to answer these questions as Warner Home Video (WHV) proudly releases “V: The Complete First Season” on DVD and Blu-ray™ on November 2, 2010, for $39.98/$49.99 SRP. Order due date is September 28, 2010.
“V: The Complete First Season” tells the story of Earth’s first alien encounter. The visitors — human-like beings who know our languages and provide other-worldly gifts of technology and healing — arrive on massive motherships hovering over 29 major cities worldwide. Some consider them saviors in this post 9/11 world; others feel differently. A fledgling resistance is on the rise, determined to reveal the shocking truth.
“‘V’ proved to be one of the most exciting new shows on TV with its plot twists, special effects and constant action,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. “As the number one show in its time period among Adults 18-49, Warner Home Video is delighted to bring this reimagined classic to DVD and Blu-ray™.”
