David Lloyd talks about the film version of V for Vendetta based on the graphic novel he illustrated, and how he disagrees with writer Alan Moore on the work in this in-depth interview from Hero Journalism.
V for Vendetta is the 2005 feature film adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comics series by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
In a near-future London, Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman), who works for the state-run television network, finds herself drawn into the agenda of a vigilante known as V (Hugo Weaving). V wears a Guy Fawkes mask and wages a campaign of destruction against the media and increasingly authoritarian government.
The film was directed by James McTeigue from a script by Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski.
V for Vendetta was a critical success and a strong performer at the box office. The movie continues to be a cult favorite, given that it's anti-authority stance conveniently maps onto virtually any structure of power at any time.
