THE WACHOWSKI
BROTHERS AND PRODUCER JOEL SILVER LAUNCH V FOR VENDETTA
STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND JAMES PUREFOY
~ Action Thriller Based on
Groundbreaking Graphic Novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd ~
BERLIN, GERMANY, March 4, 2005 –
The Wachowski Brothers and Joel Silver, the creators and
producer of the revolutionary, $1.6 billion-grossing
Matrix trilogy, have launched
production on the action thriller V For Vendetta,
starring Natalie Portman (Star Wars: Episodes
I-III, Closer, Garden State), James Purefoy (Vanity
Fair, Resident Evil) and Stephen Rea (Interview
with the Vampire, The Crying Game) in Berlin, Germany.
Produced by Joel Silver, Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski,
V For Vendetta is directed by
James McTeigue, who served as the First Assistant Director on the
Matrix trilogy.
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 (James Purefoy) 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.
The screenplay by Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski is based on the acclaimed
graphic novel V For Vendetta
by Alan Moore (Watchmen, From Hell)
and illustrator David Lloyd. Originally published by DC Comics as a ten-part
series in 1988, V For Vendetta
has been praised for its vision, potency and eloquence. Moore is widely
considered to be one of the finest comic writers of all time, and has been
credited with single-handedly expanding the potential of the comic book medium
with his work.
A UK-German co-production between Warner Bros. Productions Ltd. and Fünfte
Babelsberg Film GmbH, V For Vendetta
will be filmed on location in Berlin and London. V
For Vendetta is supported by the local subsidy fund
Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
V For Vendetta will be
released beginning November 4, 2005 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
