“Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the gunpowder, treason & plot…” Fathom Ent. has debuted a year-in-advance special screening of the extraordinary revolutionary classic V for Vendetta, made by The Wachowskis and director James McTeigue. The re-release event will be held on November 5th, 2026 in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the movie (it was originally released in March 2006 but the date November 5th is part of the movie). V for Vendetta is one of my all-time favorite movies, an enlivening and inspiring experience, and one of The Wachowski Sisters’ most exhilarating follow-ups to The Matrix just 7 years prior. In a near future British dystopian authoritarian society (similar to the one in America today), a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of “V”, plots to overthrow the tyrannical government with the help of a young woman. Natalie Portman stars as Evey, and Hugo Weaving co-stars entirely under a Guy Fawkes mask in one his best performances ever as the enigmatic V. The cast includes Stephen Rea, Stephen Fry, John Hurt, Tim Pigott-Smith, Rupert Graves, & Roger Allam. I used to rewatch this movie every year on November 5th, it’s a brilliant presentation of a real revolution when things get this bad.
Here’s the new 20th Anniversary promo trailer for James McTeigue’s V for Vendetta, from YouTube:
In the near future, Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) is an average citizen in the UK, which is under the rule of the fascist & tyrannical Norsefire Party. She is an employee of the state-run British TV Network, but soon, she becomes the number one enemy of the state with an enigmatic & larger-than-life freedom fighter known only by the letter “V” (Hugo Weaving). V informs Evey she must hide in his underground lair for at least one year, and while she is reluctant to the idea at first, a bond soon forms between them. In the meantime, the mysterious past of V is gradually revealed to the police inspector tasked with finding him, Eric Finch, and it is not long until he starts questioning everything that his government stands for…
V for Vendetta is directed by Australian filmmaker James McTeigue, directing his very first big movie at the time before going on to make Ninja Assassin (2009), The Raven (2012), and Survivor (2015) after. The screenplay is written by The Wachowski Sisters – Lilly & Lana Wachowski. Adapted from the famous graphic novel written by Alan Moore (who removed his name from the credits) and illustrated by David Lloyd, first published in 1982. Produced by The Wachowskis, Joel Silver, and Grant Hill. Warner Bros first released V for Vendetta in theaters starting March 17th, 2026 – earning a total of $70M at the US box office that year. Fathom will host special screenings of V for Vendetta next November 5th, 2026 in theaters nationwide.
