The Wachowski Brothers, the brains and efforts behind Matrix trilogy is no more. Gone. Vanished.

Larry Wachowski, one half of the talented brothers has disappeared from the face of the earth. He has been replaced by a girl named Lana.

The duo will now just be known as “The Wachowskis”, dropping the “brothers” part of their name. It is expected that Larry, now called Lana, will actually speak to the press about this for the first time, but not until after the Speed Racer film is out. The current feeling is that his sex change could hurt the family image the Speed Racer film is going for.

It is also expected that Andy will do all the press for the Speed Racer film, with Larry/Lana staying in the background for the above reason.

So, Larry Wachowski is Lana. This comes as a surprise for me because I’ve never heard about Larry Wachowski’s sexual orientation before or his intention to undergo sex change operation. Anyway, I’m glad that he’s brave enough to go through with the operation and achieve what he has probably wanted since he was very young.

The Wachowski Brothers Wachowskis are currently directing the highly anticipated movie, Speed Racer. I used to love the cartoon when I was younger. Can’t wait for Speed Racer to be on the big screen! Being a woman certainly will not affect the quality of her work. Congratulations to Larry, uhm, I mean Lana!
