Cannes 2009: Stephen Fry Brings His Liar to the Big Screen
Stephen Fry will bring his novel, The Liar to the big screen with himself in a starring role, Screen International reports. One of Britain's most beloved comedians, Fry wrote The Liar in 1991 and will executive produce the big-screen adaptation. The titular "liar" is Adrian Healey, who narrates the book and is responsible for several erroneous passages in it -- we learn that he's lying to the reader as well as other characters.

SXSW: "V for Vendetta" Review
"V for Vendetta," which had an advanced screening at South by Southwest Wednesday, is thrilling as cinema but questionable as politics.
