Will London Bombings Postpone V for Vendetta?

image representing V for Vendetta Wachowski brothers movieV for Vendetta, the latest Wachowski Bros. movie, starring Natalie Portman, features the blowing up of the Parliament building in London. It was scheduled for release in the UK & USA in early November.

I haven't heard anything, so I'm only speculating based on the fact that several movies with sensitive footage or themes were postponed after 9/11, like Collateral Damage.

Should they postpone it? That's really for Londoners to decide. I know after 9/11 I didn't want to see movies about people in burning buildings. But I didn't want them to scrub the Twin Towers out of Spiderman either.

It's a tough call. I hear ya on the Spiderman shot. I was actually upset they didn't put it in. I remember the shot because it was included in a teaser that was released before 9/11. It wasn't destruction, it was a helicopter caught in this huge spider web that was attached to each tower. I thought it was such an amazing image and I really felt we needed to see it but a spider web is a far cry from blowing up a government building.
