	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Film \| The elusive Matrix brothers
		It would not be right to call Larry and Andy Wachowski reclusive but the tight grip on their personal life, limited photo calls and interviews have added to the mystique surrounding them.
		According to reports, the Wachowski brothers stipulated in their contract for the Matrix sequels that they would not have to do press interviews of any kind and that they would not have to be photographed for promotional purposes.
		Born in Chicago to a businessman father and a mother who was a nurse and a painter, the pair were obsessed with the notions of perception and reality from an early age.

	Andy Wachowski
		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.
		Natalie Portman is the gal, Hugo Weaving is the masked avenger, the Wachowski Brothers are the writer-producers.

		Born and raised in Chicago, the Wachowskis jokingly claim to have begun their collaboration as toddlers.
		Though the brothers had been hard at work on the comic-book adaptation of V for Vendetta, another journey into the future with Neo and the gang is likely to get a strong push from studio brass for logistical reasons.

	Film Lore
		Collaborating with his older brother Larry, the duo completed their first script which was optioned by producer Dino De Laurentiis and eventually became the Warner Bros. feature "Assassins" (1995).
		With his younger brother Andy, Larry Wachowski saw their first screenplay produced when "Assassins" (1995) made it to the screen as a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone who played an assassin who is being hunted by another younger hit man (Antonio Banderas).
		The brothers, both married, downplayed their involvement somewhat and turned the focus on the actresses cast.

		A world suggesting the reason the Wachowskis were interested in doing V was not an attempt to undermine the foreign policy of the Bush administration, but that V is an anti-hero who hides his identity behind a porcelain mask and a Cleopatra wig.
		It was a critical hit and the brothers had passed their $6m test to see whether they could write and direct.
		What was largely overlooked in all the commotion was that this world was asexual and awash with references to androgyny, bondage and SandM and the Wachowski brothers had an unusual deal with Warner Brothers that they would never have to talk about their work to the press.

	IAndy & Larry Wachowski - The Matrix
		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.

	Film Roar: Wachowski Brothers: Artists or plagiarists?
		I found an article explaining that Sophia Stewart has won a court case for $2.5 billion in damages from The Matrix trilogy and The Terminator trilogy both of which she claims were her original ideas.
		In an interview Stewart goes as far as saying that the reason The Matrix Reloaded (2003) bombed after the original movie's success is that the Wachowskis tried their hand at original work for the second and then went back to stealing her ideas for The Matrix Revolutions (2003).
		Actually, the Wachowski bros plundered Grant Morrison's "Invisibles" comic book series before they lifted anyone's scrip -- Grant tried to file a lawsuit when the film was released, but unfortunately, the publishing company of the book is owned by the same parent company as the film, so nothing came of it.

		When I moved to file the lawsuit against the Wachowski Brothers / Matrix in Federal court the FBI investigated and established the connection with the Terminator film for me, they established my work as having been used in the Terminator, other wise it would have just been the Matrix in my lawsuit..

		Nothing in the Wachowski brothers' past suggested that they were on the verge of becoming the new nerd titans of Hollywood.
		The brothers moved their production company, Anarchos Entertainment, into a cavernous building a few minutes from Larry and Thea's place, with vague but ambitious plans to produce a slate of movies that would bring their skewed visions to the world.
		Bloom alleged that the Wachowski brothers received $16 million for Reloaded and Revisited alone, including $5 million for scripts, $2.2 million for preproduction services and $6.6 million to be disbursed while principal photography was under way.

		The Wachowski Brothers: The "vagaries of an MMO where unpredictable player behavior is the rule," is the reason for doing it.
		The Wachowski Brothers: As individuals, it seems that peace may be something that is attainable, but as a group, history sadly suggests that it is an improbability, if not an impossibility.
		The Wachowski Brothers: We felt a technological advance was needed for the kind of MMO that we were interested in and Monolith seemed poised on the verge of such a breakthrough.

		The sons of a businessman father and a nurse/painter mother, the brothers grew up in Chicago, where they attended Whitney Young High, a public magnet school known for its performing arts and science curriculum.
		The Matrix also became the first DVD to sell a million copies, and was followed in 2003 by two sequels, The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions (which included a cameo by philosopher Cornel West of Princeton University, a personal hero of Larry's), marking the end of the series.
		Yet to further explore The Matrix universe, a blockbuster video game (also written by the Wachowskis) Enter the Matrix was released, along with the The Animatrix, a collection of animated shorts co-created by the Wachowskis and several leading Japanese anime artists and storytellers.

	UGO Screenwriter's Voice - Screenwriting - Script Review by Justin Clark -- Plastic Man by The Wachowski Brothers
		The Wachowski Brothers' take on Plastic Man isn't perfect by a stretch (your pity laughter is welcome here), but its inherent charm, sense of fun and goofball humor far outweigh the flaws.
		The script does fall victim at first to the Wachowskis' intelligence: they've obviously done their homework about the technology in question, and try to explain what happens in a bit more detail than the rather flimsy main plot can sustain.
		The tightness of this group allows the Wachowskis to stay focused, and not spend too much time away from what matters, which is the chase.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Matrix (1999)
		Unlike most motion pictures released today, at least the Wachowski Brothers attempted to do something a little bit different than what had been seen before in cinema, even if the finished product is not quite the success they obviously yearned for.
		The Wachowski Brothers' sophomore directing debut (after 1996's fabulous "Bound"), "The Matrix," is a very clever sci-fi film, but perhaps not in the way you might expect.
		Apparently, as hints of their desperation to brainwash its audience about its so-called inventiveness, or lack thereof, the Wachowski Brothers have actually decided to bombard us with cross references to other past works of film and literature (namely "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz").

	Wachowski Brothers to Direct Shinobi? - /FILM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Hot on the heels of the soon-to-be-released V for Vendetta (scheduled for March 17, 2006), an Anime News Service article states that the Wachowski brothers have made a pitch to remake Futaro Yamadaâs novel Shinobi.
		Apparently, the Wachowskis are planning on updating the novel with a more modern setting involving a corporate espionage storyline.
		Whether they stick to the more dramatic and plot-based elements as Shimoyama appears to have done, or whether they stick to the ninja-style ass-kicking wire-fu elements as I'm hoping they do, remains to be seen.

		I Heard that the Wachowski Brothers wanted to make "BATMAN: THE DARK NIGHT RETURNS" into a movie Superman is the bad guy but he's still in it.
		The Wachowski Brothers won't touch this filth, let alone the flying, Superman would bore them...too many crappy villains.
