Trailer Bulletin: V for Vendetta
You may have seen the first "V for Vendetta" trailer by now, since the flick was originally scheduled for an early November release, but the thing now seems locked in for March 17th. And with the new release date comes a new marketing strategy, as evidenced by this all-new trailer at Quicktime.
"Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself--and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption."
Based upon the graphic novel by Alan Moore, "V for Vendetta" was written by Andy & Larry Wachowski and directed by James McTeigue. Stars include Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Rupert Graves, and Sinead Cusack.

on Dec 16 2005 07:39 AM I have heard absolutely nothing but praise for this film. I just hope its as politically controversial and socially relevant as everybody says. March 17th!!! Gives me time to read the graphic novel. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 16 2005 08:01 AM As a citizen of the film's setting, I can guarantee that it's going to ruffle a lot of feathers. While the idea of bombs going off in London makes me queasy (I was about 200 yds around the corner from the Tavistock Square blast in July), it will still be interesting to see where the film will lead my sympathies, and how it will differ from Moore's admirable book. I hope WB release this and The Fountain quite close to each other - they could earn themselves a solid reputation for intelligent SF. Cautiously looking forward to it. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 16 2005 09:07 AM Cool trailer. Vendetta screened last weekend and truly there has been nothing but immense praise for the finished product. Lot's of rave reviews from the toughest audience: skeptic fans of Moore's original material. They LOVE this movie! I'm gonna go post some reviews on the V4V forum. WB should advertise Vendetta on politcal blogs like Daily Kos and Newshounds and the Free Republic, and send Portman around to the politcal talk shows to talk about terrorism and freedom.

on Dec 16 2005 01:31 PM Even more visuals to set this as being a FANTASTIC, ACCURATE adaption. sure, there will be some fat trimmed from the prose of V but that will make people read/reread the book. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 19 2005 08:47 PM In reply to this comment (#828963) I agree it turned out to be a bum year at the end. V for Vendetta is high on my anticipation list -- bring on March. The time will be ripe for it's release with the government spying on citizens, secret torture prisons, and of course the War of Terror and continuing terrorism. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 23 2005 07:48 AM How did the Holiday Season suck? There were many good films. King Kong, Syriana, Narnia, Walk The Line, were all incredible and the New weekend releases of Munich and The Producers should be a blast. So this season was pretty good in my book. (Reply to this) |
