V For Vendetta Delayed until March 2006

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the on-hold dept.

datemenatalie writes "According to Sci Fi Wire, V for Vendetta, originally slated to open on Nov. 4, has been pushed back to next March. The film stars Natalie Portman and was written by Matrix creators Andy and Larry Wachowski. This delay comes as quite a blow not only to expectant fans, but also to the marketing campaign of the film, as the clever tagline tie-in 'Remember, remember the 5th of November' is decidedly weaker when you attempt to rhyme it with March 17th."

      Hot grits on a leg --
      don't make slashbots beg
      but fanboys will swoon
      and yell "there's no spoon"

      So you boys gotta wait
      and master teh bait
      then watch V For Vendetta
      So you can shoot your beretta

    When movie release get pushed back, that means it's going to suck so badly that the next 70's sitcom remake is expected to murder it at the box office. The trouble with movie trailers now is that they can't edit them well enough to fool people into thinking that the movie is worth the ticket price anymore.

    you're a damn good Lennon fan, and a really shitty researcher.

    Lennon has got jack shit to do with V, Alan Moore, or Guy Fawkes however.
