This is either a really bad sign for V for Vendetta or just a continuing view of Alan Moore that he will not rubber stamp any movie adaptation of his graphic novel work, but Comic Book Movie has the news that he’s not going to endorse the Vendetta movie.
Alan Moore is distancing himself from the Wachowski Brothers’ adaptation of his V for Vendetta maxi-series…
…Moore also refused to endorse film versions of his From Hell or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Now, he’s moved plans for a third volume of The League (“Dark Dossier”) from DC to indy publisher Top Shelf in a continuing dispute over censorship and royalties Moore said he and artist David Gibbons were owed from The Watchmen.
They go on to say…
It’s not been stated, but it’s clear that Moore won√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t approve of The Watchmen film adaptation either if that film ever gets made.
I’m not sure where that’s come from, I’ve not seen anything to date that would say he’s actively not talking to the makers of the movie. In fact the team behind it have said that they’re seeking to keep him involved. However, looking at the past history, I think it could be fair to assume that he won’t get involved on principle, but for the Watchmen, come on surely.
