Matrix of Lives


To update our post last year about the possibility of Matrix co-creator Larry Wachowski getting a sex change operation, it seems that Wachowski is going ahead with it. Friends confirm to the Chicago Sun-Times that Wachowski, who has been calling himself "Linda," will "complete the process of becoming a woman."
Another womanly picture of Larry/Linda Wachowski. And no word yet on what the Wachowskis plan to work on next.




So I guess the next film won't be from the Brothers Wachowski, but from the Siblings Wachowski?
In the immortal words of the driving-impaired Billy Joel, Wachowski "steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me."
Here's the Sun-Times link:

Thanks, Mase.
Yes, many "Sibling Wachowski" references have been used. But, perhaps like the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, this is a good opportunity for people to call them Larry and Andy Wachowski, vs. the Wachowski brothers.
Other brother-sister teams in Hollywood: Sofia and Roman Coppola. Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal. Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine.
Why is this news? In particular, why is it news on a blog about New York?
Well, much like pandas, which aren't really NY-related, Gothamist is just interested in this. I could stretch it and say the Matrix movies are shown in NY blah blah blah but Jake and I are just kind of hooked on celebrity gossip of any kind, like Xander, aka Nicholas Brendon, from Buffy going to rehab. Who knew?
this post is on gothamist because gothamist loves all of our demographics: new yorkers, hipsters, movie directors, and transexuals. particularly transexuals.
Jen, wouldn't that be Linda and Andy Wachowski? And NB is re-hab??? WTF, I missed that morsel.
You realize that Linda immediately becomes the highest-grossing female director in Hollywood, right?
awww us transsexuals love you too, jake
i can see it now. "deadly steel magnolias"
and romantic comedies complete with slo-mo, surround cinema camera shots of the big kiss at the end.
after they kill the mutant cyber ninjas.
