One of the more intriguing and controversial movies so far this year is V FOR VENDETTA, the adaptation of the graphic novel about terrorism by Alan Moore and David Lloyd from the Wachowski brothers, directed by protégé James McTeigue. Cinesite, Double Negative, Framestore CFC and Baseblack supplied the vfx under the overall supervision of Dan Glass. The two-disc special edition DVD has been released this month (Warner Home Video, $34.98).
Bonus features include:
* "Freedom! Forever!: Making V FOR VENDETTA, which discusses the origins of the movie, with Lloyds endorsement.
* "Designing the Near Future," which concentrates on the art design and costumes.
* "Remember, Remember: Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot," which discusses the historical origins of the 17th century anarchist who attempted to blow up Parliament and whose face is donned on the mask worn by V.
* England Prevails: V FOR VENDETTA and the New Wave in Comics," which explores the significance of the graphic novel.
