V for Vendetta
We saw V for Vendetta last night. Very cool movie with an interesting plot and good performances by all the actors. Check out our review at S-A-M.
Facts about V For Vendetta :
Being huge fans of the original comic series, The Wachowski brothers (Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski) wrote a draft of the script in the ’90s before they worked on The Matrix (1999), which shares several similar themes with “V for Vendetta”.
Natalie Portman was chosen for the role of Evey over Scarlett Johansson and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Natalie Portman worked with Barbara Berkery, the dialectologist who also worked with Gwyneth Paltrow, to perfect her English accent.
V’s pseudonym, “Rockwood”, is the last name of another conspirator at the 1605 Gunpowder Plot.
The cast and crew were only allowed to shoot in the area near the British Parliament and Big Ben from midnight to 4.30 am. Furthermore, they were only allowed to stop traffic for four minutes at a time.
James Purefoy was originally cast as V but left the project because he had great difficulty breathing behind the Guy Fawkes mask. Hugo Weaving was then brought in to take his place.

I really enjoyed this politico-thriller movie which was a wicked and evil sub-plot. Nicely made with melodrama at the finale.
Yeah Curly, It was pretty good.
