The official synopsis was released as well:
Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as “V.” Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V’s mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

Release!

Today is the first official premier of V for Vendetta. It will be airing at the Berlin Film Festival. An international release date has been set for March 17, 2006. The original release date was supposed to be on the weekend of November the fifth in 2005 but was pushed back lessening the effect of the marketing campaign that contains the bonfire night rhyme.

There has been speculation that the delay was caused by the London tube bombing on July 7th and the failed bombing on July 21st. These claims have been denied by the filmmakers saying that the time was taken to finish the visual effects production.
