ABC has placed a pilot order for a remake of the 1980s alien-invasion series “V,” which ran on NBC, the Hollywood Reporter says. Separately, the NBC comedy pilot “Lost in the ’80s,” described as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” meets “The Ice Storm,” has hired “Confessions of a Shopaholic” director P.J. Hogan, the publication says.
