Bonus Features: ‘V for Vendetta’ gets 4K UHD release on Nov. 3

Remember, remember the fifth of November…

Well, in this case it’s the third of November, because that’s when James McTeigue’s “V for Vendetta” is receiving its first-ever 4K Ultra HD treatment.

Set in a dystopian future Britain follows a young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) as she is rescued by a masked freedom fighter known as V (Hugo Weaving). Together, the unlikely duo fight against the nation’s totalitarian regime as their actions inspire other citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression.

Arriving on the United States’s Election Day and following a summer of political and civil unrest, a film revolving around returning freedom and justice to a society fraught with fear, cruelty and corruption could not have arrived at a better time.

If the modern classic itself isn’t enough, the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack comes loaded with special features, including two hours of previously unreleased interviews, auditions and behind the scenes footage.

Let’s break down all those bonus features:
