Have you actually seen more than the trailer, boox? I'm extremely suspicious of house-generated "hype."

I actually like this kind of stuff Jim. Its mind-candy.  ;D Not that I have much mind left...oh, and I haven't seen the full production yet, but I'm sure I will.

I've seen the doc, it's pretty good. Sure, it doubles as a promo piece, but I think you get like Alan Moore saying how Len Wein called him and he hung up cause he thought it was one of his pals having a joke. I think, maybe I dreamed it. Or it was in something else I saw recently.

I don't like or dislike the idea, boox. What I question is a "history" of DC that sees "V for Vendetta" as much a part of it as Batman. Things the company originally published - I can understand. Things the company reprinted from English sources - well, it's "padding" and not even pertinent as far as I can see. History is written by the winners, I know, but they could PRETEND to be objective, couldn't they?

I haven't watched it yet, but I did recently watch something on Alan Moore where he related the same story. Maybe it's in both documentaries, or perhaps you, and I both watched the same Alan Moore documentary.

I went to YouTube to look at the trailer and after I watched it, a link to this popped up.

Does anyone know if this is real? It's not listed on IMDB, I've heard nothing about it, but as a big BB fan, I want to see this.

I'm sure Boox is interested too...
