The Wachowski brothers, who are producing and co-wrote the film adaptation of Alan Moore's SF graphic novel "V for Vendetta", will also direct some second-unit photography for the movie, producer Joel Silver told Sci-Fi Wire.

It's the first film to be directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski since they finished their "Matrix" trilogy of films. Interestingly, the Wachowskis' own Matrix first assistant director, James McTeigue, makes his feature directorial debut on "V for Vendetta".

"V For Vendetta" stars James Purefoy ("Resident Evil", "A Knight's Tale") as a mysterious freedom fighter in a dystopic future Great Britain, who takes up with a young woman (Natalie Portman), whom he rescues from the secret police. "V for Vendetta" is aiming for a November release.
