"DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran will executive produce, with Pete Jackson (not the Lord of the Rings filmmaker) directing. V for Vendetta started as a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. Set in a dystopian UK ruled by fascists, it was adapted into a 2005 Warner Bros. film directed by James McTeigue. The movie starred Hugo Weaving as anarchist revolutionary V and Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond."
"Moore, dissatisfied with previous adaptations of his works From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, asked not to be credited for the film. Made on a budget of approximately $50 million, V for Vendetta was a box office success, grossing $134.7 million worldwide. The movie remains popular, with Warner Bros. set to bring it back to theaters in November 2026 for its 20th anniversary. Check out the trailer below."
