bobobrazil1984 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 I just saw the trailer a few minutes ago. Not thrilled with some of the changes I've heard about from Alan Moore's legendary graphic novel, but the trailer itself looks not too bad, seems relatively faithful in spirit, though I want to see some of the vaudeville aspects of "V". Portman is a great casting choice for Evey.
Guest JMA Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 I'm hoping the Wachowski Brothers don't mess this up--Alan Moore's work deserves to be adapted faithfully (even though he'd prefer that it wasn't adapted at all).
bobobrazil1984 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 The Wachowski's aren't actually directing the movie. They adapted the script though, and might have some producer capacity i dont know about that. James McTeigue, worked with the Wachowski's as an assistant director on the matrix movies.

AmericanDragon Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Posted July 23, 2005 I've read on a lot of forums that some people either hate or love the "alliterative speech." Exactly what was alliterative in that trailer? Maybe they're just confused about the definition of alliteration.
Ravenbomb Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 casting John Hurt as a totalitarian dictator = funny as hell

Exactly what was alliterative in that trailer? Maybe they're just confused about the definition of alliteration. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They're actually referring to a bit of dialogue that was leaked out from the script, a few words of which may have been part of the trailer. This is apparently from when Evey first meets V in the alley: V: This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vangquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. Evey: Are you, like, a crazy person?
Guest JMA Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 What is it with the Wachowski Brothers and "vis-à-vis"?

Evey: Are you, like, a crazy person? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I read that on AICN a while ago but didn't notice any of it in the trailer. It's probably still there, but I'm just confused as to how someone could come to the conclusion that it's still in there just by the dialogue in the trailer. I already read all the complaints about it earlier, but when that trailer came out, people started posting with "well it seems it's made it into the trailer."
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 L for lame. That's what the whole movie is. They should have left the book alone.

SuperJerk Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 If people are this down on the movie before they actually see it, I can't wait to see how people react to the trailer for the Watchmen. No matter how good the movie is, no one's going to accept it.
CBright7831 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I also wonder how audiences will take to it after the London terrorist attack.
Mole Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 I liked the movie better when I had no idea what it was about.
Special K Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 voracious violation of volition. Gross, that's not how you use volition. vichyssoise of verbiage more like a boullabaisse of bullshit. These are two of the nastiest alliterative phrases I've ever heard. V, regrettably, sounds really retarded.
CBright7831 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 http://chud.com/news/4028 This sucks! Thanks to those goddamn terrorist attacks, V for vendetta has been delayed until February 06. +
bob_barron Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 They said it's because the movie wouldn't be ready then. Releasing it in March kind of kills the bad-ass tagline.
