Wilkommen, visitors, to our vital vendor of visual media news and views once again. For the second time in a week, we find ourselves coming to you with fresh dispatches from the world of V For Vendetta<\/a> \u2014 and for the second time in a day, we find ourselves coming to you with fresh dispatches from DC Studios. Following hot on the heels of announcements concerning V’s 20th anniversary cinema re-release<\/a> and a buzzy new Jimmy Olsen Superman<\/a> spin-off, Variety<\/a> is reporting that a new V For Vendetta TV series is currently in development at HBO.<\/p>\n

Variety’s understanding is that The Death Of Bunny Munro<\/a> scribe Pete Jackson (yes, Pete \u2014 not Peter) is gearing up to tackle the latest adaptation of Alan Moore’s seminal dystopian political thriller, with DC Studios head honchos James Gunn and Peter Safran overseeing the graphic novel’s journey to the small screen as executive producers. Attempts have previously been made to bring Moore’s comics, which follow young rebel Evey Hammond and anarchistic masked vigilante V’s efforts to overthrow a near-future fascistic British government, to the telly \u2014 most notably at Channel 4 back in 2017. This would however mark the first time that Moore’s iconic tale of revolution has successfully landed on the box.<\/p>\n

Precious little is known about what DC Studios and Pete Jackson have in store with their version of V For Vendetta at this point, not least because nobody attached to the project has offered any comment to press on the series just yet. But if the recent success of a project like Tony Gilroy’s Andor<\/a> with critics and audiences alike has shown us anything, it’s that there is a real cultural appetite right now for the art we engage with to be bold and fearless when it comes to tackling the moment we are living in. We’ll see what becomes of DC Studios’ V For Vendetta in the months ahead, but until then, remember this: Freedom! Forever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wilkommen, visitors, to our vital vendor of visual media news and views once again.
