OK of this does not want to post more then I don't know what does!

I am so upset about this Roswell Reboot! If this happens we are So taking the fandom back!

We still believe in Roswell just not this one! It's not even the original cast or storyline of Roswell!

Why can't the CW call this new show a different name leave our Roswell alone!

'Roswell' Reboot in the Works at The CW | Hollywood Reporter

OCTOBER 12, 2017 12:00pm PT by Lesley Goldberg 'Roswell' Reboot in the Works at The CW The CW is going back to Roswell. The network is teaming with The Originals producer Carina MacKenzie for a timely reboot based on the Melinda Metz book Roswell High that also spawned the Jason Katims drama. MacKenzie will executive produce the drama, which hails from Warner Bros. Television, Amblin Television and Bender Brown Productions. Amblin's Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank will exec produce. Lawrence Bender and Kevin Kelly Brown will exec produce for Bender Brown. Brown was among the exec producers on the Katims drama that starred Shiri Appleby and Jason Behr and ran for three seasons on The WB Network (which became The CW) and UPN. The Originals' producer Carina MacKenzie will pen the script The original Roswell series, produced by Regency Television and 20th Century Fox Television, was developed for Fox and was based on the YA book series Roswell High by Metz and Laura J. Burns. (Both would eventually write for the TV series.) The drama revolved around high school students in the town of Roswell, the site of a UFO incident in 1947. Behr, Katherine Heigl and Brendan Fehr starred as alien/human hybrids and Appleby as the human who fell in love with Behr's Max. The drama explored topics including forbidden love. Reboots continue to remain in high demand this development season as broadcast, cable and streaming outlets look for proven IP in a bid to cut through a cluttered landscape of more than 450 original scripted series. Also in the works this season are reboots of The Nice Guys (Fox), True Lies (Fox), The Jetsons (ABC), The Munsters (NBC), Starsky and Hutch (Amazon) and Party of Five, the latter of which is currently being shopped. Key to the remakes is having the original producers involved in some capacity as more studios look to monetize their existing film libraries. Immigration has become a popular topic this development season as the Trump administration threatens to end former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The CW's Roswell will explore the immigrant dynamic. The news comes as The Originals is in production on its fifth and final season at The CW. The series will return midseason. MacKenzie is repped by WME. Bender Brown recently completed production on Netflix drama Seven Seconds and scored a Golden Globe nomination for Starz drama Flesh and Bone. It is repped by WME and Carlos Goodman and Leslie Abell. The project, which is in development at the younger-skewing network, has an immigrant twist. Here's the official logline: "After reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of undocumented immigrants discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a police officer: He’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life. She protects his secret as the two reconnect and begin to investigate his origins, but when a violent attack and long-standing government cover-up point to a greater alien presence on Earth, the politics of fear and hatred threaten to expose him and destroy their deepening romance.

I'm really so conflicted about this I don't want them to call it "Roswell", even if it's based after the same books. There is only one Roswell!

[Roswell 10/2/00]

I agree plus I read the orignal Roswell High books this new plot is nothing like them!

If anything our show was the clostest to the books!

Call the new show New Mexico, Area 51, heck even 1947 just not Roswell!

I totally agree!!!!! Disturbed and tweeted my buns off just now ( I hope) this is salt in the wound

[Damocles]

Yeah I dont understand - on twitter this person is saying she hopes to do the books justice, yet the plot sounds nothing like them?

[podmom]

Just seems stupid when you have a pretty large fan base for the original Roswell

[Roswell 10/2/00]

So stupid just seems like a quick way for this person to get her name out there and to try to make a quick buck!

I read the Roswell High books and this new plot for the new show sounds nothing like them. Not even close!

If I were Melinda Metz I would be so upset! Roswell was her baby! I wonder what the original cast thinks about this New show as well?

[Damocles]

I like how passionate we are

[Roswell 10/2/00]

Me too! Keep the passion coming!
