According to a report published by Jeff “The In” Sneider, HBO has officially passed on an adaptation of Alan Moore‘s V for Vendetta.
Developed for HBO by writer Pete Jackson as a period-piece drama tracking a dystopian, fascist regime, WBD has moved on from the potential streaming series.
“I’m now told that HBO has passed on Jackson’s script,” said Sneider. “One source told me that Jackson delivered a period-themed take on the material, while HBO was curious to see what a more modern take on a political anarchist might look like.”
Variety first reported on the development of the series in November.
