Remember Remember the 5th of... March'!'
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some... weird news. I guess it isn't too big of a shock, but V FOR VENDETTA has been pushed back to March. Bummer since they had such an awesome tag-line that tied the film so perfectly to its release weekend. The claim is that the flick is being delayed due to "accomodate the movie's post-production schedule," which is very likely. I'm sure there are lots of effects to perfect and I'd rather wait longer to see a finely tuned film than see a rushed work in November. If they moved it to put distance between the recent London bombings and the release of the film I'd be a little upset, but I can understand that logic as well.

by griffinmill

I would also rather see a better movie, but having it near Nov 5
by iamnicksaicnsn
Spider-Man 3 Villains = Sand-Man, Green Goblin 2, and yes, Venom! I never though he'd do it, but he did!
-
oh god, griffin is back with this wise words. They bring a film out and you don't like it, fine. They hold off on a film to make it great and you bitch. Get a dog or something. you sound like you need the company.
-
Bad being that March is not a very big movie month. I mean BO wise so that means WB thinks V is either too complicated for viewers, or it is bad. Or this means they care about this movie to the point they want to make it perfect so sticking with date doesn't matter so much. I wish Fox would do that with X-men.

Also they're changing the title to "Pacific Air Flight 121".

Alan Moore must be spinning in his grave!
-
I do get the feeling that this is in the can already. Like it or not july 7th/july 21 may effect this movie. I loathe censorship as much as the next person. Fans may foam at the mouth and beat a path to my door but the scene where V has bombs strapped to his body may have to be excised altogether.
By moving this to march, means that studio is getting jittery about this movie already. It was made before recent events. Which was and is unfortunate.
-
If they had confidence in the movie, why not move it further so they could realease it for the summer blockbuster season? March is a terrible time for big budget films. Yeah, they got lucky with The Matrix once, but does anyone believe this is the new Matrix?
-
Remember when the matrix (original) was released in the early April period? They probably want to capitalize on the lack of good flicks being released in Spring as well.
-
Because you all know it's gonna be terrible.
-
"The studio has just hired Heather Graham to play V's girlfriend in some reshoots through mid-late September. Her character who also works for the Voice as a secretary and helps V in his quest to topple the government." This is GOOD NEWS for fans of the graphic novel!
-
Pity, as this November is the 400th anniversary of Fawkes' Gunpowder plot. It made a nice meta-textual parrallel.
-
My guess is that this movie is not filling anyone with confidence. The trailer does nothing to inspire anyone (although I do like the music), at least in the theaters where I've seen it played. This smells like putting it in front of weak competition and hoping for the best.
-
Quint keeps stealing me scoops!
-
Along with Andy Gibb.MMMMMMMMMM Andy Gibb..dreamy....peace
-
V isnt gay, he's just kinda fucking nuts
-
Yeah, I could see him as either a minority or a homosexual (maybe both). I always just thought of him as different and then the medical tests made him something else all together. Regardless, here's to hoping the movie doesn't suck cause I'm getting sick of bad movies.
-
I posted on this forum a month back that V for Vendetta would not make it's November deadline. For obvious reasons, no movie that conjures up images of Parliament being blown to bits is going to open this year. Even a British television documentarye on the history of Guy Fawkes is currently in jeopardy due to sensitivity about the bombings.
-
this is such a Fall film it's depressing. i feel like kill bill vol 2 just got moved again.
-
I enjoyed the trailer, and to the poster above that said they liked the music, then pickup the Batman Begins soundtrack, that's where it's from. March? Feels more like a Hellboy/Sin City/Matrix early April release. Coming a week after Zorro was just too crowded for this type of picture. As a matter of fact, at one point Jarhead, Zorro, Domino & V were all set for November 5th!
-
the fifth of march? arent people gonna be confused when they see the trailer for the first time? wtf?
-
I know. I was born that day.
-
I was looking forward to 'V for Vendetta' too. Although I'm not entirely sure that the "post-production schedule" is genuinely why they pushed the film's release date back, I had been wondering how they were gonna produce a film in, like, 6 months. Well, if they are doing this because of post-prod, then I suppose it's better to get a good movie than a rushed one.
-
I was so looking forward to this to supply my film needs for the fall! And ti sucks because the tagline isn't as cool anymore. Oh well, at least there's Advent Children releasing in September...
-
in Britain???
-
So anything is possible.
-
Hispanics are a "discriminated" minority maybe in the US, not in Britain
-
Hispanics are not discriminated against here, not sure where you're getting that. I suspect latinos (as we call em here), get a much better shake than they do in the UK.
-
Hugo Weaving has been replaced with...Vanilla Ice. Go ninja, go!
-
...this movie is going to suck bigtime.
-
Now they've got extra time to add some more bullet time....great........this was always going to be Matrix 4.......Bald people, Hugo Weaving, over choreographed fighting, fuck V will probably have a hovercraft.....The brothers grim obviously decided that actually writing the fourth script was too much for them and their tiny collection of ideas, so promptly used Moore's instead....As I have said before this should have gone to British talent, namely Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, a comic film by comic fans....how refreshing it could have been....
-
Everyone knew the film was likely going to be pretty bad once Moore disassociated himself from the film...he called the script "imbecilic"...I mean come on.

I want this country to realize we stand on the edge of oblivion
by fanb0y
I WANT EVERYONE TO REMEMBER WHY THEY NEED US!!!
Very disapointing, I was looking forward to seeing this so much. I love the trailer (seen it dozens of times)John Hurt as the fascistleader...brilliant. This'll be the next big thing since EQUILIBRIUM. And it even has EQ soundtrack in the trailer (another sign of its impending greatness)ANd another great quote:
"every verdict is vegeance...A VENDETTA". -
Wow! A Fantasticks reference? Impressive...
-
If they keep backing up the opening date on this every time something in the world explodes, we will never see this picture. And some have said that this would not be entirely bad. Did Alan Moore really turn his back on it and retch? ( metaphorically speaking) Definately not a good sign. Pity. When will the Marius VanDerLubbe film get made? With Matt Damon?
-
Maybe it will be up against the Pink Panther.
-
Just to be fair to those crazy Brits. When the British used "ConcentrationCamps" they intended to "concentrate" people i.e. keep them together in one big mass............... The Nazi "concentration camps" were in fact Extermination Camps - their intention was Death...
-
You don't get it. Hispanics, Latinos, whatever you want to call them, persons of Latin American extraction are not a disadvantaged minority group in Britain *because there are scarcely any there*. There are a few in London, because there are at least few of everyone in London, but nationally the number is absolutely negligible. What "knowthyself" said is like talking about the persecution of the Japanese community in Angola, or the Sri Lankan minority in Greenland. This may stun and amaze you, but not every country in the world has the same ethnic composition as the USA. Oh, and as for "Hispanics are not discriminated against here"...hmmm...riiight. I can't claim personal experience here, but from what I've read and seen and heard on the subject, I think you may just be off in a world of your own on that one.
-
As I understand it, the Nazi extermination camps were actually something quite distinct from their concentration camps. The concentration camps were set up some years earlier, before the war, and were simply detention camps where Jews, Communists and other and other individuals targeted for persecution were locked up. I believe the name "concentration camp" was chosen specifically in order to blunt international condemnation, by drawing a parallel with the camps which the British had set up in South Africa to intern Boer civilians for the duration of the Boer War. The use of the same term enabled the Nazis to say "look, we're only doing the same as the British did in South Africa". The death camps came later, after the institution of the "Final Solution", and they were not described as "concentration camps". The widespread use of that term to describe them today is just one of those popular inaccuracies. When people come out with the old chestnut about how "the British invented concentration camps", I sometimes wonder whether they realise that they're effectively quoting Nazi propaganda, with an added dose of distortion.
-
You can say it exists all you want, but it doesn't. Sure you can find an isolated act by any idiot against an individual based on whatever, but whatever anti US propaganda you're reading, put it down. Unless you are referring to affirmative action, in which case I apologize for misreading your posts. But in this case latinos are benefitting from discrimination, not the reverse.
-
Yes, the Nazis went further than the Brits or the Americans, but to somehow let the British off the hook because they weren't as bad as the Nazis is bass akward.
-
You are right
-
I don't think anyone yet has stated that British, American or Spanish concentration camps reached the same level of brutality as the Germans. The original post that started this all was someone posting to the effect that the British putting a "hispanic" in a concentration camp seemed unlikely. Since the British used them and the movie "V" follows an alternate reality from established history, I then pointed out that it certainly fell within the realm of possibility and the movie wasn't asking anyone to swallow too much from a historical point of view. No one's calling the British as bad as the nazis. I am, however, calling a "concentration camp" an evil no matter who does it. The Nazi camps, as someone else pointed out, became death camps. You round the people up in the first place, it makes the killing a whole lot easier, but that's a lesson for another time.
