I must admit that sometimes your preconceptions of people can be so easily shattered when they do something right. Take the team behind V for Vendetta, and the words from Producer Joel Silver through Comics 2 Film that they’ll be keeping the London bombing scene in the movie:
“It has nothing to do with what happened,” Silver said.
Superb. Some intelligent adult makes an intelligent and informed decision. There was some talk a little while back that they might remove the scenes that made anyone think in the slightest of that day. For me that’s just as bad as pampering to the people who perpetrated the crime, they wanted us to be scared and change our way of life, and even if that leaks into the smallest part of our society I think it’s a loss on our part.
All that aside, I’m dying to see this movie, with it’s R rating too. It sounds like it could be one of the better (if not best) comic book adaptations to date…thoughts from out there?
