Awesome comic book done by Alan Moore. Movie to be directed by Wachowski brothers.

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) 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 ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging 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.

I am unsure of what to think of this. Partially because its from the Wachowskis.

Originally, Alan Moore saw the script and said it was essentially vomit, that he wouldn't condone it or support it.

Funny how things change.

Now he admits that it isn't half bad, and has pseudo-embraced it.

I hope they don't show V's face as in the graphic novel and keep the Voice of London in there. It will be interesting to see what elements are involved.
