Wachowski Brothers To Produce 'V For Vendetta'

[Thursday, November 18th, 2004]
James McTeigue (First assistant director of Matrix) is in talks to make his directorial debut on the adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta, according to Variety.

The Wachowski brothers were previously eager to adapt the novel but were sidetracked by the Matrix trilogy. The brothers are co-producing the project and are said to be completely behind McTeigue on the project.

An intensely dark graphic novel, V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate future in which Germany wins WWII and Great Britain becomes a fascist state. A terrorist freedom fighter known only as "V" begins a violent guerrilla campaign to destroy those who've succumbed to totalitarianism, and recruits a young woman he's rescued from the secret police to join him.
