First, I direct you to our previous article, which revealed the truth behind Larry Wachowski's rumored sex change.

Posted over a year ago, we had no inkling of how far his transformation would go...until now.

Here is a shot of larry a few years back, when he fist began taking the female hormone therapy:


Another photo, about a year and a half later:

And this newly released photo from a rare public appearance earlier this year:

The duo will now just be known as "The Wachowskis", dropping the "brothers" part of their name. It is expected that Larry, now called Lana, will actually speak to the press about this for the first time, but not until after the Speed Racer film is out. The current feeling is that his sex change could hurt the family image the Speed Racer film is going for. It is also expected that Andy will do all the press for the Speed Racer film, with Larry/Lana staying in the background for the above reason.
Dateline NBC is still rumored to have exclusivity of Larry/Lana's first public interview, but it has to be on his terms, not theirs.

Yes he did! Read it all here:

The interesting thing is that the ex-husband of Miss Ilsa Strix also is a transsexual (woman to man) and people speculate that she played a big role in Larry`s transition...

The gender-change won`t keep Larry from making great movies but I`m afraid this woman and the world that she entangled him in is...

Here she is:

Looks much better as a girl. Good decision. Happy inside and out

 

[Label Basher]

I love the fact that her brother is supportive. That is how a family should be

 

[angel]

whatever makes him happy.

 

[kissmesweet]

^^ Yep, whatever floats his boat. I do love that her brother has got her back though.

 

[tigerrouge]

I have admiration for anyone who takes the bold step of exploring their own identity, instead of living with an identity that feels like living a lie. We may not understand, but we can wish them the best.

 

[Diamond Star]

Well good for her, I hope she's happy with her new life.

yeah, heard and saw the pictures i thought more than a few years ago, but wikipedia has a source that says the brothers and a producer they work with deny that he has changed genders or refers to himself as a she/lady/"Lena". Hahaha--and this source = Fox News, 6/6/2007 (yesterday!)
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 dominatrix 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.
