First things first: I love the design of the V for Vendetta posters. They’ve got a classic theatrical, almost Vaudevillian feel, but updated and dark. Unlike many Hollywood action films, it stands out as a nice piece of art.
But wait… Something… Not… Quite… Right:
V for Vendetta is not the vision of the Wachowski Brothers. Unless they’ve completely deviated from the source material — and all indications so far suggest they’ve been fairly faithful — the vision of the film, both conceptually and visually, is courtesy of Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
And yes, Alan Moore refuses to be associated with the film, and there’s probably no point in giving David Lloyd prominent billing… but still, let’s not take credit for other people’s work, shall we?
(On a similar, note, I’m always kind of wary films that advertise “Creators of…” or “Producers of…”, as if the people doing the hands-on work aren’t good or popular enough to promote.)
