You may have seen the first "V for Vendetta" trailer by now, since the flick was originally scheduled for an early November release, but the thing now seems locked in for March 17th. And with the new release date comes a new marketing strategy, as evidenced by this all-new trailer at Quicktime.

"Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V’s mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself–and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption."

Based upon the graphic novel by Alan Moore, "V for Vendetta" was written by Andy & Larry Wachowski and directed by James McTeigue. Stars include Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Rupert Graves, and Sinead Cusack.
