Looks like the first trailer for V FOR VENDETTA is up.

It looks nice — I know that V writer Alan Moore has basically turned his back on this one, but I thought I saw most of the original’s story beats in the trailer, so if it goes far afield from the source material, it’s deeper into the script than the trailer reveals. The problem, I’d say, is with the Wachowskis, who crashed and burned faster than I thought possible after the cultural high of THE MATRIX — who knows if they’ll be able to reign in the impulses that turned RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS into hopelessly talky and noodling snoozefests?

And of course, this is probably my favorite thing by Moore, so I hope it’s not doomed to join SWAMP THING, FROM HELL, and LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN on the scrap heap of poorly-translated Moore comics (not having seen CONSTANTINE yet, I can’t say if that would also be found on the pile or not.) If the collective voice of the Internerd is to be believed, it doesn’t look good.
