Recent word from IGN FilmForce indicates that the Wachowski Brothers are still attached to the big-screen rendition of the classic animation series "Speed Racer." Also rather interesting is the news that everyone's favorite lanky funnyman, Vince Vaughn, may still be attached to the project.
Produced by the Wachowski brothers (masters of the Matrices), and starring Natalie Portman and a fully masked Hugo Weaving, "Vendetta" tells the story of a near-future dystopia, where a lone freedom fighter named V (Weaving) plots a series of revolutionary bombings to bring down a shady, secretly policed government.

HOLLYWOOD -- The Wachowski brothers were seated at a restaurant table in a Sunset Strip hotel the other morning, drinking cup after cup of coffee and claiming, with some nervousness, that their new high-tech, big-budget film, "The Matrix," could ignite or doom their careers.
Their film, which was almost as risky for its studio, Warner Brothers, as it was for the friendly and low-key Wachowski brothers, was No. 1 around the nation.
For "The Matrix" the Wachowski brothers studied the work of directors as varied as John Woo and other Hong Kong filmmakers, Stanley Kubrick, John Huston, Billy Wilder, Ridley Scott, George Lucas and Fritz Lang.

The bonds of brotherhood can forge great things, and in the case of Larry and Andy Wachowski, they have created a vision that has revolutionized the modern approach to sci-fi action cinema.
Born in Chicago to a businessman father and a mother who worked as a nurse and painter, Larry and Andy flexed their creative muscles early on with frequent meditations on current perceptions of reality and by attempting to conjure up new and original variations of those perceptions.
After attending Bard College for two years and subsequently dropping out, Larry worked alongside his brother as a painter and carpenter while writing and taking in a steady diet of comic books, in addition to continuing his philosophical debates with his younger brother, who had likewise dropped out of Emerson College.

 Larry and Andy Wachowski to direct "Speed Racer"
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Larry and Andy Wachowski (Matrix Trilogy) have signed on to direct the upcoming live-action version of Speed Racer for Warner Bros..
The movie will feature other characters from the show, including Speed's family and his mysterious archrival, Racer X. The Wachowski brothers are writing as well as directing the film, which will be produced by Joel Silver.
And it'll be nice to see an "approach we've never seen before." We'll see if they can pull if off since their vehicle chase in Matrix 2 felt outdone by the one I saw in Terminator 3 (with the crane plowing Arnold through buildings).

 Movie Review | The Matrix: Revolutions (2003) Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
As it turns out, the entire "Matrix" series is nothing more than a remake of Jesus' life.
Along the way, a whole lotta stuff blows up at the cost of, oh, about $100 million or so; give or take a couple of dozen million.
As mentioned, the entire series has been building toward the life of Christ, with Neo standing in as the Savior of Man. It's not very subtle, proving once again that the Wachowskis are not skilled enough writers to make an allegory without smashing their audiences in the face with it.
