. . . else I would have known that Natalie Portman appeared at Cannes with a shaved head because she is playing Evie in V for Vendetta ((V for Vendetta official site, V for Vendetta at IMDB).
I'm excited; I'm a fan. V for Vendetta is a fantastic graphic novel. Go visit V for Vendetta Shrine, or this annotated guide, if you don't believe me. Rich Johnston's essay "Why V for Vendetta Matters--Especially Now" does identify some reasons to be skeptical about the film: The original story was a very Cold War sort of story, and removing it from this original setting can be expected to damage it.
Even so. I know where I'll be in November.
