ABC is refusing to give Ken Johnson a “Created By” credit and related royalties for their remake of Johnson’s alien invasion-themed V. After calling it a remake, ABC has recently shifted gears claiming that its not a remake or re-imagining. Why the change? It comes down to money. If the new series is a remake, Ken Johnson would be due a “Created By” credit which would come with royalty payments. ABC doesn’t want to pay Johnson those royalty payments, which Johnson has received along with a “Created By” credit from all previous incarnations of V.
Warner Brothers has forced the Writer’s Guild of America to begin a special “remake arbitration” where three anonymous writers will be sent Johnson’s original screenplay and the new pilot script to rule on whether the new one is or is not a remake. If the arbiters decide that the new version of V is different enough, the term “remake” is applied. The Guild defines a remake as a motion picture that contains “substantial similarity” to a previous motion picture with respect to principle characters, general setting, plot, storyline, tone, events and structure.
