Stephen Fry (the voice of The Guide in the upcoming Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) confirmed that he’s got a role in V for Vendetta, the Wachowski Brothers' adaptation of the Alan Moore maxi-series.
"I'm playing the character of Gordon Deitrich, who's a chat show host who questions the authority of the people who run Britain in this post-viral fascist state, as it were," Fry told Empire Online.
Natalie Portman, Stephen Rea, James Purefoy, John Hurt, Tom Pigott-Smith and Sinead Cusack round out the cast. James McTeigue is directing from a script written by the Wachowski Brothers.
The film hits theaters Nov. 4.
