No Sex Change for 'Matrix' Director Larry Wachowski

'Matrix' Director: No Sex Change, Thanks
Larry Wachowski is still a man.
The co-director of the "Matrix" movies was rumored to have had a sex-change operation recently. Internet sites started buzzing recently that Larry was now called Lana. Someone even edited his Wikipedia entry to that effect. The Wachowski Brothers, they said, were about to become the Donny and Marie of filmmaking.
I must say, returning from a two week trip to Africa, I found this news rather startling.
Of course, Larry Wachowski — who’s reportedly into a lot of wild, tough stuff — has encouraged this kind of speculation among his fans and the press. He dates a ********** and publicizes it.
He let his wife’s vague angry language in their divorce filing make it seem as though as he was on the verge of a huge announcement. Either he was becoming a woman or turning into a pygmy.
Either way, Larry Wachowski’s purported sex change is right up there with "Paul Is Dead" and the "Beaver Died in Vietnam."
And it’s not true.
On Wednesday, I had lovely chats with people at the sound studio in Germany where the Wachowskis have been making the live action version of the Japanese cartoon "Speed Racer." The folks I spoke to got quite a kick out of the whole thing.
I asked one man in building operations, "Have you seen Larry lately? Does he have breasts now, as rumored? Is he wearing a dress, wondering if it’s making him look fat?"
Laughter. “He looked like a man to me,” was the response.
And what about this Lana business? Said one woman who worked in the "Speed Racer" office: “On the call sheets, it still says Larry. There’s no Lana.” She laughed too.
Rats! Where is the gossip when you need it? An assistant to one of the producers got on the phone.
“None of it is true,” he said. We spent several minutes rehashing all the stories that were floating around out there.
Finally, I did speak with Joel Silver, who executive produces the W Brothers' movies.
“It’s all untrue,” he reconfirmed for me. “They just don’t do interviews, so people make things up.”
Disappointed? I know. I am too.
But I think Larry, er Lana, has gotten the last laugh, at least for now.

The Matrix II & III sucked, IMO.
