Here's what Warner Bros. studio has to say about the film: "Set in the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta stars Portman as a young woman who becomes the unlikely ally of a mysterious revolutionary."
"With 'V For Vendetta,' the Wachowski Brothers have created an uncompromising vision of the future driven by a totally original superhero," said Silver.
The film will be shot on location in Berlin starting in early March for a Fall 2005 release.
