V for Vendetta *spoilers*

[chuck]

Can't say i'm expecting much from the wachowskis - after parts duh and duher of the matrix.

The depth that is in V ( the comic) will be v. difficult to recreate in a movie, particularly one for a film audience used to trite comic book action (ala spiderman/superman). Not bagging those comics/movies - just that V for Vendetta's plot and characters are something entirely different.

I mean - it's not like you're going to see a movie version of Speigelman's Maus anytime soon are we??? And yet it is a wonderful story - very powerful and moving. But I'm pretty sure a movie where WW2 era story has Jews represented by rats and Germans by cats isn't going to go down very well.

Possibly you might be able to do V for Vendetta justice in a TV series or mini-series - on something like HBO, where you wouldn't have as much of an issue with the rating and would have more time to develop the plot and characters.
