\nThe Wachowskis acquired the rights to V for Vendetta <\/em>in the mid-1990s, then promptly wrote their own screenplay. After directing the three Matrix<\/em> films, the Wachowskis weren\u2019t interested in returning to directing right away, but they did make alterations to their Vendetta<\/em> script, including moving the story forward in time and making Evey older.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\nMoore had read the screenplay and considered it \u201crubbish.\u201d Moore believed DC Comics and the film industry had knowingly stolen from him. Conversely, David Lloyd praised the movie moments after he had seen it for the first time, declaring it a \u201cfantastic representation\u201d of the work they did, according to McTeigue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>James McTeigue was first assistant director on the Matrix<\/em> movies, as well as on Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones<\/em> (2002), and was picked by the Wachowskis to take charge. “A lot of the filmmaking process is about trust, and at the point that those guys said, ‘We want you to direct it,’ they were about trusting me to go off and give it the vision it needed to be directed with, so they kind of left me alone,” said McTeigue. “They were there if I needed them, and sometimes I\u2019d go, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ and they\u2019d put their two cents worth in, and I could either take it on board or leave it at the door.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
