In 2021, McTeigue looked back at the last 15 years and said they were \u201cprojecting forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we had put some of the things that have happened in the 15 years since the film came out into our script now, no one would\u2019ve believed it,\u201d McTeigue shared, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lwlies.com\/articles\/the-legacy-of-v-for-vendetta-james-mcteigue\/\">magazine noted<\/a>. \u201cOf course there wouldn\u2019t be a virus that cripples the world, of course there wouldn\u2019t be a psychopath in the White House who encourages his followers to start a raid on the Capitol Building and of course Boris Johnson could not possibly be the Prime Minister. Some of the topics we were trying to discuss have either come true or gone much further than we ever thought they would go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were projecting forward,\u201d he added. \u201cJust as Alan Moore and David Lloyd wrote their original graphic novel as a response to [former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher] Thatcherism, we were taking on the [former President George W.] Bush regime and trying to make a comment on that. What we were really doing with the film was saying that a lot of politics is cyclical; you always go through times where you have tin-pot dictators for totalitarian or reactionary governments. We were holding a magnifying glass to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
