Anybody read any articles about Alan Moore's thoughts on this?
I think someone representing this movie (based on an Alan Moore graphic novel) said Alan Moore was excited about the project. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth and Alan Moore got pissed and made it clear he was not excited about the project.

Alan Moore seems like the type that will NEVER be happy with any adaptation of any of his works. That could be because they're so fucking good in comic form that noone will ever be able to faithfully re-create it on film. That being said, I would MUCH rather hear that Moore was fully endorsing a movie project than not.cascarrabias wrote:Anybody read any articles about Alan Moore's thoughts on this?

BTW, found the following blurb on some alan moore website:
"Alan Moore, co-creator of the "V For Vendetta" comic, has publicly disassociated himself from the upcoming Warner Brothers movie project based on the comic book and written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix), and, as a result, has cut his remaining ties with DC Comics, which include future volumes of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"."

can't blame him, LOEG is pretty terrible even when you don't account for how good the book is.The ILLatino wrote: and the LOE movie, also, I'd imagine.
Can't say I have high hopes for this, even though i didn't hate From Hell. The terrorist/freedom fighter argument which is the core of the story is handled very subtly but with a lot of depth in the book. Somehow I doubt the movie will go through all that effort when there's all these explosions of landmarks n'shit to concentrate on.
Moore's work shouldn't be adapted as feature films imo, they should do miniseries on HBO or something.

I will see this movie, but fuck LOEG and "From Hell". THose movies are pieces of shit, bad news is that they have elements that are so cool and work well for a time on screen but then quickly fade away as the movies action and bad direction overtake the elements that made them interesting to begin with. Man Nemo was killing it for a while.
A new era has begun and it goes by the numbers 1,3,6
OK so i've just got back from seeing this, although it has some cheesy bits (of course V and Evey have to fall in love) but it's not the film you'd expect, the story is much more politically relevent than you could imagine, it asks some big questions, should governments have the powers they do? how far are you willing to let them go in your name? and when your unhappy are you willing to stand up and be counted.
The parallels with the Bush administration are plain to see, the human rights vs national security the strategy of keeping people constantly scared, the control of the media, it's all here, and wrapped up in glossy package. The V monologue alone (almost every word begins with a
V) is worth the price of admission.
If your looking for a big dumb action movie you might want to steer clear of this, but if your looking for an action flick with a brain, which has a political voice and of course Natalie Portman dressed as a china doll, I suggest you go see this!
"People shouldn't be scared of governments, governments should be scared of the people"
Roll on the revolution!
