“Nikita” will hit The CW network when it premieres on September 9th 9/8c. Check the show’s official website for more!

Maggie Q will be serving the “Bastardly Rice Chaser” demographic later this fall as she plays the lead in a new action-drama titled “Nikita” based on the highly popular 1990 French film “Nikita” and the 1997 television series “La Femme Nikita.” The series will premiere on September 9, 2010 & each Thursday at 9:00/8c thereafter.

For those of you bastards who plan to watch the series, make sure you first watch the original French film, which is currently on NetFlix Instant. I’m gonna check it out this weekend. Here’s a pic of Maggie Q in her “Nikita” getup:

How can they re-make LFN? Just can't beat the original TV show. And no way could this tiny chick kick anyone's ass, she will not be convincing in the role.

not the kind of woman that look good in photo but she's pretty in most of her movies.

... She better be like Lucy Liu but younger and with some type of acting talent... I'm kind of getting sick of Asians only playing action roles... and then all other roles going to Sandrah Oh

Looks like "Chuck" has morphed the networks. All the networks seem to be tooling a sexy spy show for the fall. Like "Chuck" without the nerd flavoring.

Yeah, and on CW that just makes me cringe even more.

I liked the first season or two of the Peta Wilson version, but that was before I ever saw the original.

Maggie Quigley is one very attractive woman.

At least she can kick ass though unlike Peta Wilson. She was a much better villain than Timothy Olyphant in Die Hard 4. Bridget Fonda was also surprisingly decent in Point of No Return. The best Nikita is still Anne Parillaud.

Maggie Q... as I recall she starred in a Need For Speed game, never played it though. Hot lady nonetheless.

Exotic, sexy and gorgeous. What more could you want?

I though she was one of those half Japanese girls that Weezer sang about.

From Wiki

"Maggie Q was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to an American father of Polish, French Canadian and Irish descent, and a Vietnamese mother. Her parents met while her father was stationed in Vietnam."
