Television audiences across China watched an anarchist antihero rebel against a totalitarian government and persuade the people to rule themselves. Soon the Internet was crackling with quotes of “V for Vendetta’s” famous line: “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” The airing of the movie Friday night, Dec. 14, 2012 on China Central Television stunned viewers and raised hopes that China is loosening censorship.

In this photo taken Oct. 31, 2012, Weta Digital staff celebrate Halloween in the company's Wellington studios in New Zealand. Previously never celebrated, Halloween now has a place in the region due to the large influence of Americans who come down under seeking work in the studios film making enterprises. Weta Digital is the centerpiece of a filmmaking empire that Peter Jackson and close collaborators have built in his New Zealand hometown, realizing his dream of bringing a slice of Hollywood to Wellington. It’s a one-stop shop for making major movies - not only his own, but other blockbusters like “Avatar” and “The Avengers” and hoped-for blockbusters like next year’s “Man of Steel.” (AP Photo/Nick Perry)
