HBO Max Adds a Cult Comic Book Movie & It’s an Instant Hit

Originally a celebrated graphic novel released in 2006, V for Vendetta also became a hugely popular film. Starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, and John Hurt, the movie—director James McTeigue’s first—presents a chilling future where a totalitarian government controls the United Kingdom. A mysterious masked figure known as V recruits a young woman, Evey, to help spark a revolution. The film was critically and commercially successful, and it’s gaining renewed attention with a return to theaters this fall and a recent spot in HBO Max’s top 10 streaming titles (according to FlixPatrol).
