Fry continues to make regular film appearances, notably in treatments of literary cult classics. He portrayed Maurice Woodruff in "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers", served as narrator in the 2005 film version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and in 2005 appeared in both "A Cock and Bull Story", based on "Tristram Shandy", and "V for Vendetta", as a closeted TV presenter who challenges the fascist state. The Wachowskis pointed out that it was Fry's "normalcy" in the face of the insanity of the censorship of BTV that makes his character truly powerful and adds a "wholly unexpected dimension to the film". In 2006, he played the role of gadget-master Smithers in "Stormbreaker", and in 2007, he appeared as himself hosting a quiz in "St Trinian's". In 2007, Fry wrote, for director Peter Jackson, a script for a remake of "The Dam Busters". He also appeared that year in "Eichmann".
