20 Years Later, 'V for Vendetta's Director Finally Reveals the Real Reason Why Hugo Weaving Replaced James Purefoy [Exclusive]
There are plenty of reasons V for Vendetta still works 20 years later, but one of the biggest is V himself. Even though the character spends the entire film hidden behind that now-iconic Guy Fawkes mask, he still comes across as theatrical, wounded, dangerous, funny, and weirdly moving all at once. That’s not an easy performance to pull off, and according to director James McTeigue, that exact challenge is what led to Hugo Weaving replacing James Purefoy during production.
