Graphic Novel Adaptation

20 years on, V for Vendetta director says Alan Moore still doesn't like the adaptation because it's "not a page-by-page turn of his graphic novel"

Director James McTeigue stated that V for Vendetta creator Alan Moore still dislikes the film adaptation because it deviates from his original graphic novel. McTeigue suggested Moore should reclaim the rights to his work if he disapproves of Hollywood adaptations. The film's themes of freedom and authoritarianism are noted as remaining relevant.
