V for Vendetta update

VforVendetta_Poster.jpgLast night I saw V for Vendetta, and hopefully I'll have the review for you in a few hours, however in the meantime to keep you going there's an interview with Director James McTeigue and a huge update to the official site.

Thanks to Superherohype for the heads up on the update, and Time Out Film for the Q&A with McTeigue.

The site has interviews, photos, videos, the usual stuff, but as the news page says, read on if you've seen the movie only because here be spoilers.

The Q&A doesn't really say much other than confirming that he believes it's very true to the original story (see my review coming soon), favourite scenes, why he picked Portman, the usual fluff. Then it does come across the interesting question, why did James Purefoy get the boot?

...James [Purefoy] is a great actor, and I hope I work with him again at some point. You know, the mask is a difficult thing...

...I think the mask is a difficult thing. That's what I'd say about it.

Okay. So he couldn't act with the mask. Let's move on please. I don't really think this affects the audience in anyway, and has just fallen into the realm of gossip. Again I shall direct you to the coming review.

"why did James Purefoy get the boot?"

I was actually tempted to ask James (wow, first name basis!) the same question when we caught up with him last week in the play "The Exonerated" where he was guest starring, but I bit my lip. From what has been circulating eveyrwhere, and this is not official of course, he wasnt booted out of the production, but that he left, not because of the difficulty wearing the mask but more so because of all the creative differences, as what has been rumored, the filmmakers werent true to the material.

That is why Richard, you have to write that review soon! *winks*


I can´t wait for that review to come!

Just to let you know that the review is up there.

Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
