Alan Moore, schrijver van de V for Vendetta graphic-novel, wil niks met de vorige week verschenen verfilming te maken hebben. Ondanks de succesvolle binnenkomst op de eerste plaats in de Amerkaanse boxoffice, wil Moore dat zijn naam van de titelrol wordt verwijderd.
"I want them to say, 'We're not going to give you any money for your work, you're not going to get any credit for it and we're not going to put your name on it.' To see a line of dialogue or a character that I have poured that much emotional involvement into, to see them casually travestied and watered down and distorted... it's kind of painful. It's much better just to avoid them altogether."
