We've heard that Natalie Portman has done a deal for V For Vendetta. The film is an adaptation of Alan Moore's 1988 totalitarian classic. The Wachowskis have scripted and will produce, and James McTeigue is directing -- he was first assistant director on the Matrix Sequels and on Star Wars Episodes II & III. Joel Silver is producing.

Hopefully it doesn't turn out like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen did...

Could this be the first decent adaptation of an Alan Moore work?

...doubtful.

I'll stay in this boat till the movie comes out.

Mana where is that scene from in your avatar? I dont remember seeing that in any Star Wars movie.

In the parallel universe where the Matrix sequels were good, I am excited about this.

The Wachowki Brothers do have some good work under their belt, that being Bound and The Matrix, and I loved their scripts of Plastic Man and Carnivore. I tend to ignore The Matrix sequels, glad to see them doing something now.

This is one adaptation I never thought could ever happen, especially after 9/11.

Meh.
I felt V for Vendetta was ruined when it was coloured, although I can't wait to see how tangentially different from the original this is.

 

[Gorey]

Uh-oh.

Exactly.

Edit: I can see Portman working as the girl apprentice character to V. A bit of a stretch, but doable. I really hope they don't screw around with the plot/setting too much...

Blooper reel.

 

[Matlock]

Oh, fuck this movie.

I wonder if the project will be stuck in development hell like another Joel Silver comic book movie, Adrenalyn. I don't guess that one will ever see the light of day.
