Alan Moore has a terrible comic to film history, he's written some of the greatest comics ever that have unfortunately spawned some of the cheesiest films, such greats as "From Hell" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" have come from Moore's diverse roster.
"V" is being made by the Wachowski Bros so I'm not really holding my breath that it'll be any different, but it
will be controversial.. as it is a pro-terrorism story set in a totalitarian London. o__O
Oh and this is also aka "that movie Natalie Portman shaved her head for".
