James McTeigue is the director of "V for Vendetta", Wachowskis just wrote the script based on their favourite comic. McTeigue has served as an assistant director on the Matrix trilogy and two Star Wars movies: "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith". "V for Vendetta" is his debut.

As a huge admirer of "V for Vendetta", I'm impatiently awaiting this movie. It was supposed to be in theatres in November 2005 but that damn delay occured

This does look good but V's origin is wrong his face isn't deformed because you never see it, he doesn't quite have an origin.

Actually, you're wrong on that. They pretty much give you everything except his name and why he was arrested and tested on in the first place. They also hint to the fact that he's physically deformed in a couple parts of the graphic novel (
Spoiler:
when he kills whats-her-face that expermented on him
and
Spoiler:
when they further detail on the experiments that whats-her-face did
).

As for me:

I've read the graphic novel at least 10 times
I've got the mask on order
I've got the movie poster above my bed
I've pretty much got tickets to a press showing of it before it comes out

I can't freaking wait.

Yes, but...

Spoiler:
I don't think his face was still deformed in 1997. When V is about to kill Delia, she asks him to show his face to her. And then she says his face is beautiful or something like that.
It's been deformed in times of resettlement camp for sure. Delia wrote in her diary that V's face was very ugly.


He just wears Guy Fawkes' mask to hide his true identity. And because Guy Fawkes character symbolizes anti-governmental anarchy.

Spoiler:
Yes, she says it's beautiful, but then again, she's a sick woman who tortuered and expiremented on all these people, so she's very masochistic and might see deformity as a thing of beauty


Just my take on it.
