If true, this could be very interesting if things come to fruition! Would have lots of potential on TV! Just have to wait and see!

Only if they keep the anarchist element this time. The film is the best of the adaptations from Moore, but my only problem with that is that they changed V into a freedom fighter instead of just a straight up anarchist. The whole point is it re contextualizes the idea of anarchy.

My biggest fear is that it would be diluted in some way. I'm a huge admirer or Moore's work and I like the V for Vendetta movie but I'm not sure how this would play out over a TV series.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Make it a mini series.

So, let me get this straight. Somebody read Jerusalem and didnt like it (i loved it, btw), but did not have the nerve to send a professional killer to off Alan Moore. So they decided to adapt V for Velevision, therefore trying to get him a heart attack and kill him thus.

Did i get this right?

Cunning plan.

And if he's still hanging on offer him a Stan Lee-type cameo. That should do it

I would be interested in watching it but I can see it inspiring some creepy real world problems.

I wonder who they will get for V? They will have to get someone with a cool voice

Hopefully this has the quality of channel 4 show like Utopia

Anybody heard anything Moore more about this? Rereading the graphic novel atm.

‘V for Vendetta’ TV Series in the Works at HBO (EXCLUSIVE)

A "V for Vendetta" TV series is currently in development at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively.

t.co

Did… did I manifest?

Finishing reading V For Vendetta and 1) living within a system of government that’s about five minutes from making the story a reality, and 2) really thinking it would make for a killer limited series on HBO, despite knowing that that would only make Alan Moore mad

 

[Pennywise]

Thought the showrunner’s name was Peter Jackson for a sec, and got really excited.

Still really looking forward to this if it comes to fruition.

 

[Sawyer]

As much as I lament that this will only piss Alan Moore off even more, I really do think the comic is perfect for a longer form story than just a 1.5/2 hour movie.

Casting and choice of director will be key, though.

 

[Sawyer]

The Pete Jackson that’s writing this just wrote a series starring Matt Smith.

Seems to me he’s got a good voice for V.

 

[Hurm...]

I'm absolutely game for a more comic accurate adaptation. But yes, it all comes down to the director. Also, I pray it doesn't have the typical series 'grey' look that's cursed so many streaming shows/movies. I want it to feel more distinctly British like the original comic too. The film (which I think is the strongest adaptation of Moore's works) felt very much influenced by post-9/11 America.

Hugo Weaving's performance is utterly iconic. It's going to be hard to top that one.
