EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Tim Minear Talks "Alien Nation"

Last week The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Angel/Dollhouse producer Tim Minear was developing a new version of Alien Nation for the SyFy Channel.

In this interview, Minear discusses the fact that his reimagining of the concept -- which sounds similar to the way that Ron Moore reimagined Battlestar Galactica -- has more to do with the original 1988 feature film than the 1989-90 TV series developed by "V" creator Kenneth Johnson. "When I went back and looked at the movie," he says, "it just felt to me like the central idea was very clear.: oppressed minority. Racism. it seemed to be content to make that point. [But] in a post 9-11 War On Terror world, it just felt like here was a concept that could really be used to explore so much more."
