Larry (Sorry Lana) and Andy Wachowskis' Futuristic Iraq War Film

[Col. Zombie]

This looks slightly disturbing on several levels. Make up your own mind.

What are those wacky Wachowskis up to now?

Slash Film is asking that very question today as they explore some recent tidbits of info which would seem to indicate that Matrix directors Andy and Lana (ne Larry) Wachowski are making a "secret futuristic war movie."

The story starts a few months back when Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington tweeted that she was shooting a part in a secret Wachowskis film -- "a movie about the Iraq War, from the perspective of the future." This info came complete with photos from the set featuring Huffington and the Wachowskis. Perhaps the info revealed about the movie in those tweets was mostly lost on the masses, however, as a result of the accompanying pic that featured a now apparently female Larry Wachowski. (And if you don't know about that whole transgendered saga, just google it.)



The thing is, there's been no official word about the famed sibling filmmakers making such a film. But yesterday Jesse Ventura was on The Howard Stern Show, during which time he mentioned that he had just finished filming a movie for the Wachowskis. He also told Stern that he didn't really know what the film was about, as he didn't have a script and the whole thing was done "ad-lib/improv."

"Wait til you hear what they did," said the wrestler/actor/governor. "They brought me, and they brought Arianna Huffington in after me. Arianna was there, and they had her looking like Cleopatra. What they did… Do you remember what John Travolta looked like in that horrible film Battlefield Earth? They put multicolored dreadlocks on me all the way to here. They gave me this crazy beard that was hanging down pointed, looked like Travolta, right? And they put a third eye in the middle of my forehead. Because what this is, is this is a hundred years in the future, and they wanted me to talk about the current war in Iraq and how I felt about it. And so I got to vent, looking like this maniac in this whole outfit."
