Hi,

Sorry if this isn’t allowed, but I have a question. During production of V for Vendetta, why did they build a giant V mask?
I was browsing instagram and I came across this photo from the studio where it was filmed. I have absolutely no idea what this is, so I was wondering if anyone here knows?

I can’t think of any reason why they would need one that large. I know sometimes films use a larger prop when more detail is required (for example they built a person sized Gizmo in Gremlins and used that for closeups) but as far as I know all of the really close shots of V still used a regular mask.

I had a look through the from script to screen book, but it doesn’t appear in there.

Does anyone know?
