It’s been awhile since The Matrix helmers Larry (possibly Lana) and Andy Wachowski have been in the spotlight. 2008’s Speed Racer didn’t do so well and they have only since produced last year’s Ninja Assassin.
Now Deadline reports they are shopping around a new script that focuses on “a hard R homosexual relationship between a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi.” They explored similar territory in 1996’s Bound their lesbian romance heist film. This new one is rumored to have a “cinema verite-style treatment that begins in the near future and then spans back over years that include the current war in Iraq.”
They’ve completed the script and want to direct it next. It sounds as odd as the Wachowskis themselves. I normally wouldn’t be too excited for it but I’m down for a new film from them, even if Speed Racer left a lot to be desired.
What do you think about a new Wachowski film?
