Fathom's 20th-anniversary rerelease of V For Vendetta gets a new trailer

Fathom Entertainment, the distributor behind the 2006 film V For Vendetta, has announced a 20th-anniversary rerelease of the movie in select theaters. The film, based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd, will be back on the big screen on November 1 and 5.

Fathom's Vice President of Marketing, Shannah Miller, expressed excitement about bringing the acclaimed movie back to theaters. She highlighted the film's enduring themes of freedom, identity, and the right to speak up. The new release will include Freedom Forever, a special featurette featuring director James McTeigue. The director discusses the making of the film and its continued relevance today.

The trailer for the anniversary re-release has been released, featuring new music by Jonathan Snipes of the experimental hip-hop group clipping. Snipes provides a modern twist on Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, a key piece of music in the original film. The trailer aims to appeal to a new generation of audiences while maintaining the essence of the groundbreaking movie that has resonated for two decades.
