Governments should be afraid of their people.</blockquote> <p>It is with great trepidation that I approach the idea of a film version of <a href="http://www.shadowgalaxy.net/Vendetta/vmain.html">V for Vendetta</a> which is, for me, a masterpiece by Allan Moore (who also did Watchmen). But, given other posts today, it feels appropriate to be thinking about it now.</p> <p>I've just watched the <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/v_for_vendetta/">trailer</a> and I have to say I'm impressed. The <em>from the people who brought you the Matrix trilogy</em> was a bit worrying but it looked good and suggested they were following the original work quite closely. Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, and John Hurt are assets. The visual style looked, from the brief clips, appropriate with a little update for the 20 odd years since the book was writen. I'd really <strong>hate</strong> for them to mess this up but I guess at this point, I'm looking forward to it. Too bad it can't be released on Nov 5th!</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002968.html
