Soooooooo Alan Moore retires but it seems the Wachowski brothers might be going to use their stroke from the Matrix films to make the V for Vendetta film.
The Alan Moore fan site is down at the moment:

Whatever happened to the V For Vendetta Film?
If you're referring to the film based on the script by Andy and Larry Wachowski (The Matrix) — that film has not been optioned, so nothing's happened as yet.
However, a film based on the series V For Vendetta entitled "V" by Mark Tinkler was shown at the Birmingham Comic Art Convention in 1984. Tinkler, a student of the Middlesex Postgraduate Course in Film and Television Studies had asked the creators of the strip, Alan Moore and David Llyod for permission to use the story as his video project, to which they agreed and even offered advice. The film was a mixture of live action and illustration and the storyline was modified, with Evey being interrogated for an edited propaganda tv news item, while V secretly films the full, true version.
Additionally, in February 2001, there was a stage production of the series by the Swedish troupe, Stockholm's Blodbath.

What's next?
Like everything else about the brothers, their future is shrouded in mystery. Two Wachowski scripts are floating around Hollywood. One, a fanciful retelling of the Guy Fawkes story set in a postapocalyptic Britain, is an adaptation of V for Vendetta, the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. The other, Plastic Man, is based on the old DC Comics character. Plastic Man has long been rumored to be the Wachowskis' next film, but, of course, there's no official word.

Interbiew with Joel Silver:
Joel: Well, they wrote a script for me for V for Vendetta, which is this great Alan Moore comic book - years ago - and they've talked about producing it with me and bringing somebody in to direct it that they like. I mean, they're fantastic guys. They're going to take some time off now. I lived with the movie for seven years - they lived with it for ten, so they beat me by three. But, they're pretty burned out from the whole process, but whatever they want to do it'll be great. They're passionate about their art, but their art is commercial, so it's a miracle that you have two people there that have a chance to make something so special for themselves that is in touch with so many people. I'd love to work with them forever, whatever they want to do.
