V for Vendetta is apparently being made into a movie. The terrible news is that the directors are the Wachowski's.
There are somethings with that story that I have trouble believing would be acceptable by most major movie studios. What do you want to bet they decide to change the "hero's" pro-anarchy message into something less controversial?
I also worry that they would turn V into a good guy. In the story he was not a good guy. The reader was meant, instead, to see him as one of two opposing evils.
We'll see, I'm currently just making paranoid assumptions and imagining the piece of shit it will be. I'm sure I'll have plenty of real information to discredit it in the future.

As I may have mentioned earlier, they are also going to ruin Watchmen. I had some hope for this film originally, as I had read that Terry Gilliam was going to attempt it. He eventually bailed though, saying that it would be impossible to make it into a decent movie. The story was simply too long, and it couldn't afford to cut as much as film length would require. He said he might consider it in a 12 part miniseries.
Sometime later Darren Aronofsky picked up the idea, which certainly had me curious, because it is so different then his past projects. Hebailed because of scheduling conflicts with The Fountain. So now the director is Paul Greengrass. Looking at his past projects, I can't get a feeling for how he has done. The only movie that I have seen on that list was Bourne Supremecy. I enjoyed it, and there were certain aspects of how it was shot that I really liked, but one movie really doesn't give me a feel for his overall style.
