	UGO.com Film/TV - James McTeigue Interview - V For Vendetta
		James McTeigue had big shoes to fill when he stepped up to direct the film adaptation of the graphic novel V for Vendetta.
		James has had great experience on movie sets, having been the first assistant director on all three Matrix films and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones but nothing will prepare you for having to shoot scenes in front of London's Houses of Parliament at 4AM.
		JAMES: Yeah but by the time you get there to film it, you've been there on surveys and you've thought about it in your head so many times that when you get there on the day you just focus on what you've got to do.

	Exclusive: V Director James McTeigue - Superhero Hype!
		McTeigue's first film as a director takes place in a future London besieged by a fascist government right out of George Orwell, a setting that produces the masked vigilante freedom fighter known as "V." The adaptation was written by Larry and Andrew Wachowski, co-produced along with Hollywood action maven Joel Silver.
		McTeigue: Yeah, it kind of it is, but he is that character, Alan Moore, and it's probably what sets him apart, rightly or wrongly, from a lot of other writers, and I guess for him, he takes the opinion that it was 25 years ago, and he's perpetually moving forward.
		McTeigue: I think that I'll go on directing films, but those guys have been so incredibly generous with their time and their friendship that if they ask me to do something, I guess I'd do it, depending on what it was.

	Fame & Fortune: 'V for Vendetta' Director James McTeigue (Page 1 of 2)
		But James McTeigue has a pedigree that makes his rookie status barely more than a technicality -- especially with this sort of film.
		Bankrate spoke to McTeigue about how changes in the film industry are affecting directors old and new, and how a man who has worked on such futuristic fare retains investment habits that are very modern-day.
		You're probably not making decent money being a third assistant director, but you are probably earning double or three times what your peers or your friends from school are earning, due to the freelance nature of the business and the pay scale they give you.

		James had worked very closely with us on The Matrix films and had directed all the advertising, publicity and promotional things we did for The Matrix, so the boys said why don't we have James direct it.
		JJAMES McTEIGUE: It is very close to the themes of Alan Moore's graphic novel, however like all great adaptations for film there are things that you have to lose and things that you keep; it runs very close to what Alan Moore wrote and what he was trying to say.
		JAMES McTEIGUE: To raise the bar on graphic novel adaptations is to start with a great script, and we've got a great script, so from there I think it'll be an easy process.

		JAMES: Both Joel [Silver] and Larry Wachowski ended up speaking to Alan and Alan has varied opinions and can't be dissuaded from what he wants to say.
		JAMES: Whenever you do an adaptation to a novel, there are always subplots and amalgamation of characters, and what you hope to do is stay true to the ideas and intent and questions that the original source material asks.
		JAMES: I worked with Natalie before so there was a certain sure-hand with her but I think if you're in a room with Natalie Portman for more than 30 seconds, you understand how bright she is and how erudite and I think you need an actress to take you on a journey.

		The more time Evey spends with V—an eloquent, talkative man with an affection for banned artifacts and a hunger for revenge against those who left him so horribly disfigured—the more she understands and is attracted to his cause.
		James Purefoy played V for several weeks and then left the project, and Hugo Weaving stepped into the mask.
		McTeigue: I guess there's always the director's lament that you could do more, because every day when you go to set your appetite is always bigger than what you're going to be able to achieve.

	Review: V for Vendetta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		While it's true that the film at times overreaches and its connection to its graphic novel inspiration is tenuous, V for Vendetta mostly succeeds playing in the same sci-fi thriller arena as Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet.
		First-time director James McTeigue is relentless when it comes to pacing, rarely letting things flag for extended scenes of flabby explosion.
		(In fact, Weaving replaced James Purefoy when he left after citing "creative differences" with the filmmakers.) Natalie Portman is solid, and particularly good during the torture scenes and their aftermath, but this isn't the most representative example of her range, and she is plagued by an inability to develop a consistent British accent.

		This can be attributed to first-time director James McTeigue's ability to place a coherent story at the heart of his philosophizing.
		There is no simple answer to what role vengeance should play in a revolution, but V for Vendetta leaves to the audience not only the question but the option of whether or not they want to answer it.
		McTeigue's England is eerily similar to the country that Orwell's tells us about in "1984".

		James McTeigue is relatively unpractised as far as directing goes, but his experience as a first AD is vast, having worked on Attack of the Clones and all three Matrix movies.
		So it should be a comfort that the Wachowskis, who have experience of his talent first hand, gave him the reins on this, their dream project.
		James McTeigue: I always wanted the look of the film to feel like London is now but also how it looked 25 years ago if it were projected into the future.
