Posted by Emmet Gibney on September 5th, 2007

Rarely do I actually read any real film news on Perez Hilton, and I guess I should hesitate to call this news really, but noteworthy at least.  Apparently Larry Wachowski of the Wachowski Brothers directing team (The Matrix anybody?) has become a woman and now goes by the name Lana Wachowski.  I’m sure this is […]
