Nationwide Theatrical Return Scheduled for November
V for Vendetta is returning to movie theaters for its 20th anniversary, offering audiences a chance to see the dystopian thriller back on the big screen.
Fathom Entertainment, alongside Warner Bros. and Saga Arts, has scheduled the theatrical re-release for the first week of November. Screenings will take place on November 1 and November 5.
Tickets for the anniversary screenings are available through Fathom Entertainment or participating theaters. The film first debuted in theaters in March 2006, and received a home media release in 4K Ultra-HD to update its visual presentation.
Exclusive Featurette Explores Ongoing Mythology
Before the feature presentation begins, audiences will view an exclusive new featurette titled Freedom Forever.
Director James McTeigue returns in the special footage to discuss the films and art that influenced the production, the ongoing mythology of the central character, and why the themes of identity, freedom, and resistance still resonate with modern viewers.
Enduring Cultural Footprint Highlighted by Executives
Fathom’s Vice President of Marketing, Shannah Miller, noted the enduring cultural footprint of the project.
Twenty years later, V for Vendetta still asks the questions that matter: about freedom, identity, and who gets to speak up,
Miller said.
Adaptation Roots in DC Vertigo Graphic Novel
Adapted from the DC Vertigo graphic novel created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, the movie takes place in a totalitarian, fascist future version of the United Kingdom.
A masked freedom fighter known as V, played by Hugo Weaving, uses symbol-laden rebellion to challenge the ruling regime, while Natalie Portman stars as Evey Hammond, a young woman who becomes entangled in his plans.
Lasting Popularity Tied to Distinct Visual Style
The production marked the feature directorial debut of James McTeigue, with a screenplay penned by Lana and Lilly Wachowski.
The film’s lasting popularity is attributed to its grounded tone, distinct visual style, and political themes that have remained relevant over two decades.
