“By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.” 💥 “Vi veri universum vivus vici.” Fathom Ent. has revealed one final “get your tickets” trailer for the special screenings of the extraordinary revolutionary classic V for Vendetta, made by The Wachowskis and director James McTeigue. The 2026 event will be held on November 5th, 2026 in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the movie (it was originally released back in March 2006 but the date November 5th is important in the movie). With another viewing on November 1st as well. V for Vendetta is one of my all-time favorites, a brilliantly exhilarating cinematic experience, and one of The Wachowski Sisters’ most unforgettable 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. November 5th is right around the corner and let me say – this is the movie we all need at this moment in time. As powerful as ever.
Here’s the final 20th Anniversary promo trailer for James McTeigue’s V for Vendetta, from YouTube:
You can view the 2025 trailer for Fathom’s V for Vendetta 20th Anniv. screenings right here from last year.
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 hosts special screenings of V for Vendetta on November 1st & 5th, 2026 in theaters nationwide.
