Description
Offered with this listing – in BRAND NEW and SEALED Condition – is the 2012 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. Blu-ray release of the 2006 Silver Pictures / Virtual Studios / Studio Babelsberg / Vertigo DC Comics / Anarchos Productions, Inc. / Warner Bros. Pictures film “V for Vendetta” , packaged in a handsome STEELBOOK presentation. The feature is directed by James McTeigue (who worked prolifically as an assistant director for many years and has also directed “Ninja Assassin”, “The Raven”, “Survivor”, and “Breaking In”) from a screenplay by The Wachowskis (who have also written or co-written – and in many cases also directed – “Assassins”, “Bound”, “The Matrix”, three short films included in the anthology “The Animatrix”, “The Matrix Reloaded”, “The Matrix Revolutions”, “Speed Racer”, “Cloud Atlas”, and “Jupiter Ascending”) based on the 1988-89 DC Vertigo Comics limited series of the same title by Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and Tony Weare. The film stars Hugo Weaving (as V, who took over the role from James Purefoy), Natalie Portman (as Evey Hammond), Stephen Rea (as Chief Inspector Eric Finch of New Scotland Yard and Minister of Investigations, aka the “Nose”), Stephen Fry (as Gordon Deitrich, a closeted gay talk show host), John Hurt (as Adam Sutler, the former Conservative Member of Parliament and Under-Secretary for Defence), Tim Pigott-Smith (as Peter Creedy, head of Britain’s secret police, aka the “Finger”), Rupert Graves (as Dominic Stone), Roger Allam (as Lewis Prothero, the “Voice of London”), Ben Miles (as Roger Dascombe, the head of the government’s propaganda division, aka the “Mouth”), Sinéad Cusack (as Dr. Delia Surridge), Natasha Wightman (as Valerie Page, a role shared with Imogen Poots as Young Valerie Page), John Standing (as Anthony Lilliman, a corrupt bishop), Eddie Marsan (as Brian Etheridge, the head of the government’s audio surveillance division, aka the “Ear”), Clive Ashborn (as Guy Fawkes, the historical figure involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605), and Guy Henry (as Conrad Heyer, the head of the government’s visual surveillance division, aka the “Eye”). “V for Vendetta” is a dystopian political action film set in a future where a fascist totalitarian regime has subjugated the UK. It centres on V (Weaving), an anarchist and masked freedom fighter who attempts to ignite a revolution through elaborate terrorist acts, and on Evey Hammond (Portman), a young woman caught up in V's mission. “V for Vendetta” was originally scheduled for release by Warner Bros. Pictures on 4 November 2005 (a day before the 400th Guy Fawkes Night) but was delayed; it instead opened in the United States on 17 March 2006, to mostly positive reviews from critics and became a box office success, grossing $134 million against a production budget between $50–54 million. Alan Moore, dissatisfied with the film adaptations of his other works, “From Hell” (2001) and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (2003), declined to watch the film and asked to not be credited or paid royalties. Some political groups have seen “V for Vendetta” as an allegory of oppression by government; anarchists have used it to promote their beliefs. The film is credited for popularizing the use of the Guy Fawkes mask by anti-establishment political groups and activities; David Lloyd stated: “The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny—and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way.” * * * * * CONDITION: Each item offered is in pristine-to-mint condition, meaning there are no obvious defects to the item itself, there are no holes or tears to the factory shrink-wrap, and there are no loose discs.
