Screenplay Composed

Word is that the Wachowski brothers have written a draft screenplay for the V for Vendetta movie. This screenplay follows the graphic novel very closely. They began writing this screenplay before working on their upcoming film The Matrix. The Wachowskis have been huge fans of the graphic novel for years now. I can only assume that they'll respect the storyline.

Rights purchased!

We've just received word from our sources that the rights to two of Alan Moore's best works have best works: V for Vendetta and Watchmen, have been acquired by producer Joel Silver.

Joel Silver has quite the resume of production credits which include: The Warriors, 48 Hrs, Weird Science, Commando, Lethal Weapon, Predator and Die Hard.


Personally, I'm excited.

Introduction

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I know of no reason

Why Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent

To blow up King and Parli'ment.

Three-score barrels of powder below

To prove old England's overthrow;

By God's providence he was catch'd

With a dark lantern and burning match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

A penny loaf to feed the Pope

A farthing o' cheese to choke him.

A pint of beer to rinse it down.

A faggot of sticks to burn him.

Burn him in a tub of tar.

Burn him like a blazing star.

Burn his body from his head.

Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.

Hip hip hoorah!

Hip hip hoorah hoorah!

This is a fan blog. The sole purpose of this blog is to follow the development and production of the V for Vendetta movie. I saw it fitting to start it today on November 5th. Updates will come as soon as we hear of them.
