In an interview, she discussed the experience, saying: Everyone was quite nervous, as they only had one time to successfully film that scene. Natalie Portman actually shaved her head! In the scene where V shaves Evey’s head, it’s not a wig and a bald cap – Portman bravely shaved off all her locks for the role. The lines were done a couple of times and then mixed to get the balance of muffled and non-muffled right.” When we re-recorded it we had one mike with a mask over it and another mike that was open. There were mikes in the mask and the quality was okay but it wasn’t great, so I had to re-voice the whole thing. In fact, we recreated a muffle effect in post-production. The sound was muffled when he spoke, so he re-dubbed all the lines, saying in an interview:
His main complaint was not the mask but the wig – which was very hot. Hugo Weaving acted in the mask at all times. What was the hardest part about wearing the mask? It was shot all in one take, a nd took four domino experts 200 hours to set up! Imagine what would have happened had someone accidentally nudged a domino… The domino scene at the end was always my favorite – I loved the intricacy and detail of it. Hugo is such an actor that just by his physical and vocal expressions you could tell exactly who he was.” Says actor Natalie Portman (Evey), “Hugo is an incredible, amazing actor so even though he had that barrier of not being able to use his face– which we’re so used to using as film actors with the camera right there–he was able to use his physicality and his voice to really create his character. At first glance, that seems relatively benign, until you try to realize how hard the actors around him would have had to work to create a relatable dynamic. Hugo Weaving, who played V, was always in his mask. What was the main challenge of acting with a mask on? Another example was the television studio – while they had all the things they needed, everything was the same brand. Set decorator Peter Walpole noted that while you might be able to buy a car or a can of baked beans, there would only be one brand available. Additionally, they wanted to show – in subtle ways – the lack of choice everyone had. The set and production designers used a palette of browns and grays to reflect the overall depression felt by the citizens. In order to create that look, production designer Owen Paterson “…tried to create a London that is very recognizable, yet frozen by having become this totalitarian state.” In classic comic style, it is frozen in a timeless state, and in classic Wachowski style, it mixes both futuristic elements with gritty post-war depression. The film takes place in a vague future – somewhere around 2020 – in a world that’s become unrecognizable. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd in the 1980’s as a protest against Thatcherism (Margaret Thatcher, the prime minister of Great Britain from 1975 to 1990 was quite conservative, and drew ire from more free-thinking individuals.) However, Moore – a longtime nonconformist – disliked Hollywood so much that he refused to accept money for the film, or even watch it!įind out why the set of the film is so monochromatic Now, ten years later, we’re here with the best stories, trivia, and fun facts from this spellbinding film! Starting at the beginning – the comic.
