The Japanese trailer for V for Vendetta is quite interesting, and possibly will make those concerned about the W-Brothers involvement worried for the project.
Through Twitch from AICN, you can see the trailer over at the Warner Brothers Japanese site. It’s available in Quicktime, Realplayer and Windows Media, and does look quite slick and powerful.
However, when I watched it, saw the build up and heard the music of the latter half of the trailer when the action starts, there is one thing looming large in my mind. Matrix. Sure, all the clips are of V for Vendetta and the first half does look really good from the production point of view, but that second half kicks in the with Matrix lobby style music and a darkly dressed, almost leather clad figure appears and starts some cool fighting onscreen…oh, it reeks of Matrix.
That might concern some fans waiting for this movie because the talk on previous threads has mainly centered around the W-Brothers working behind the scenes on a hallowed comic that has deep political undertones through it, and how they might just turn it into an action fess (or mess) a la the Matrix series.
So go and have a look at the trailer and come back and say what you think.
