V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nothing-creapy-in-that-book dept.

gludington writes "Alan Moore's "other" early masterpiece, V for Vendetta, is in early pre-production. Joel Silver and the Wachowski brothers will produce for Warner Brothers, and Natalie Portman will play Evey Hammond. The rest of the movie is as yet uncast (and unwritten), so release dates on the article and the imdb entry should be taken with a sizable grain of salt."

    Instead of a masked, classical-allusion-spouting antihero, it will star Vin Diesel cracking one-liners while shooting people.

    The real challange is to see which sucks more, this or the movie version of Watchman.

    So there will be Calvinist overtones divided into three parts, the first of which will be revolutionary and mind-blowing. The second will be an advancement, more action, have lots of confusing theology, and twins (albino). The third part of the movie will suck...but have the longest "die already!!!" scene ever.

    Oh, and due to the whole pandering-to-the-audience thing they seem to be infamous for, there will be a scene with Portman and hot grits.

    I need to read this quick so I'll know what to hate about the movie when it comes out!
