MASKED protesters have called for a sequel to the 2006 dystopian thriller V for Vendetta.

Activists in London demanded that producers immediately open talks with Natalie Portman about starring in a second film.

Protester Tom Booker, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “That such a fully realised cinematic universe has not been revisited is a crime for which we hold world leaders and big business equally responsible.

“The time for a sequel, with Portman taking on the role of her masked mentor in an outfit with less cloak and more leather corset, is now. And yes, I’m willing to make the script I’ve written available.”

A spokesman for the G8 nations said: “V for Vendetta only grossed $132 million, which after production costs and marketing barely made the studio a profit.

“And from a story perspective the fascist regime was defeated, leaving any putative second film without a third act conflict.

“The best we can offer is a straight-to-DVD prequel starring Tara Reid and a former wrestler.”
