V for Vendetta Movie
Thats right, V for Vendetta is being made into a movie! I’ll read any graphic novel handed to me if Alan Moore had a hand in writing it, seeing as he’s written nearly every one of my favorites: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, Watchmen (my all-time favorite), and of course, V for Vendetta. So naturally I was floored when I heard this. Moore and David Lloyd did an amazing job with this one, and it has the potential to be a great movie, so I hope I’m not let down (LXG was sooo disappointing!)
The Wachowski Brothers and Joel Silver are heading up the film, with Natalie Portman playing Evey (she’s perfect for it), and James Purefoy as V. Filming is underway on location in Berlin and London.
I’m also dying to see the Firefly movie Serenity, and H2G2

PS: My auto-close comments plugin closed this post, but yes, I *did* read Watchmen at Baba’s in Virginia. It believe it was the first (non comic-book sized) graphic novel I ever read.

You wouldn’t have, perchance, first read WATCHMEN at your grandfather’s house, would you? I got him that copy for xmas, trying to give him a taste of the good stuff. He was already into Superman and Batman (and of course Pogo the Possum).
I agree that all of Alan Moore’s work is solid gold. Have you read his PROMETHEA series?
