HBO should follow Watchmen's success with a V for Vendetta TV adaptation

The pay cable network could adapt another Alan Moore 1980s graphic novel series, the one he created in 1982 with artist David Lloyd. "Similarly to Watchmen, V for Vendetta has already been adapted before," says Eric Diaz. "A film version was made in 2006 by director James McTeigue and the Wachowskis as producers, though that film deviated in many ways from the source material. Meanwhile, the Watchmen movie (mostly) stuck very close to the source material, in a way that some found off-putting. While the TV version of Watchmen did the opposite of the movie, creating a new story based on the events of the original, maybe V for Vendetta should take a totally different approach. Do a far more 'to-the-letter' style adaptation of the original work. This could be the key to success for this property in live-action."
