A Letter From Roman Polanski
27 December 2009 6:12 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At Roman Polanski's request, I would like to share the letter he has written me with all of his friends and supporters, in particular the readers of The Huffington Post. It is here, in these columns, that I have published my articles and expressed my position, from the very beginning. Thanks to the generous access provided by Arianna Huffington and her staff, I have been able to present a different "voice," one that contrasts with the howling of the pack. And so it seems natural, priority dictates, that the readers of my journal in France and the readers of Arianna's journal in the United States should be the first to read these words, Roman Polanski's first words since his incarceration. My dear Bernard-Henri Lévy, what you have said in the Swiss press is true -- I have been overwhelmed by the number »

Alexa Ray Joel Suicide Try Strikes Hamptons Nerve
10 December 2009 6:01 PM, PST | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »
Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of pop icon Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, is well on her way to recovery from a suicide attempt, but the incident has ripped open the scars and in some cases barely healed wounds from Brinkley’s previous marriages to Joel and more recently architect Peter Cook. The Huffington Post lashed the Post over its coverage in a three-paragraph “story.” Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Internet “newspaper,” is no friend of the conservative Post and runs in the same Hamptons circles as Brinkley. »

Arianna Huffington Shoots with Wachowskis
8 December 2009 9:34 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Two days ago liberal website co-founder Arianna Huffington began Tweeting about a “movie on Iraq from the perspective of the future” she shot with the Wachowskis (of Matrix fame). According to the updates throughout the day, she flew to Chicago and posed in front of a green screen for a day, even posting pictures of herself in a “futuristic” costume.
Huffington’s Twitter posts started a swarm of speculation because to our knowledge the Wachowskis haven’t announced their next film.
Devin at Chud claims it’s only test footage (that explains the single day of filming) and Erik at Cinematical suggests it might be David Mitchell’s “Cloud Atlas,” which the Wachowski’s optioned last year. Though I’m not sure how Mitchell’s six random narratives fit with the futuristic take on the Iraq war, but maybe we’ll know more soon. I’m surprised they were able »

Stop Calling Them the Wachowski Brothers!
8 December 2009 2:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Arianna Huffington's Twitter feed got a lot of eyes a-poppin' yesterday with her mysterious Tweets about being a part of the next movie from the Wachowski siblings, as well as some very cool Twitpics of her in costume, on set, and with directors Andy and Lana Wachowski. Film sites are buzzing about the project, but unfortunately not all of them have stopped calling the duo the Wachowski Brothers, which aggravates me to no end because Lana is a woman.
As almost every article is quick to point out, Lana was "originally" Larry; a few years after the two gained notice for their futuristic blockbuster The Matrix, rumors were flying about why the two were so reclusive. Then Lana came out as a woman, even holding a press conference for the official announcement, which is truly awesome. And while it's not a shocker than fanboys can't resist taking potshots at »

Huffington Tweets Andy and Lana Wachowski
8 December 2009 10:44 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
It isn’t news inside Hollywood that Andy is the butch Wachowski, while his brother Larry has become Lana, and has been getting more and more girly over the past few years. The Wachowskis don’t do much publicity and rarely have their photos taken, so it’s delightful that one of the most outgoing sharers of information on the planet, Arianna Huffington, tweeted—with tweetpics—-her recent experience shooting a screen test for the sibling Wachowskis’ upcoming dystopian documentary set 90 years in the future. “On plane to Chicago to take part in the Wachowskis’ movie on Iraq from the perspective of the future,” tweets Huffington. Here’s Cinema Blend, while … »
Wachowskis helming futuristic Iraq movie?
8 December 2009 4:26 AM, PST | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
The elusive Wachowskis may have another movie lined up, and the details sound intriguing. According to the Twitter feed of Arianna Huffington (The Huffington Post), the pair are working on an Iraq movie, set 90 years in the future. Huffington's pics of a green screen set give nothing away at this stage, though this one certainly sounds like it has potential. While no Iraq movie has yet been a huge box office hit, could the Wachowskis' new vision change that? Details of this secretive project are extremely sparse at the...

Wachowski's Testing For Next Film
8 December 2009 1:08 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
A photo from Arianna Huffington's Twitter feed is causing a small online stir as the feed claims it's from a film shoot she just did in Chicago with "The Matrix" and "Speed Racer" directors the Wachoskis.
The story? "Iraq from the perspective of the future". Is this a whole new project we've never heard of? Not really. Chud reports that the shoot is part of a few days of camera tests the pair are doing for a new project which is still a while off.
So what is the project? That's unconfirmed though Cinematical speculates that is an adaptation of David Mitchell's 2004 novel "Cloud Atlas" which the pair bought the rights to earlier this year. At last report "The International" and "Run Lola Run" writer/director Tom Tykwer was working on the screenplay. »

Arianna Huffington And The Wachowskis Collaborating On Futuristic Documentary
7 December 2009 10:12 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Aside from producing Ninja Assassin, the Wachowskis have largely been keeping to themselves lately, presumably not in retirement but also keeping mum on exactly how they would follow up Speed Racer. And while we, the public, may still have no idea what they've got planned, Arianna Huffington sure does. The founder of The Huffington Post and general political punditry icon was tweeting today from some kind of set in Chicago, where she's taking part in "the Wachowskis' movie on Iraq from the perspective of the future." Slashfilm picked up on the photos and tried to figure out what might be happening, and the best anyone can figure, it's test footage for some new movie they're planning-- possibly the adaptation of The Cloud Atlas, or possibly something completely new. What may be the most interesting thing about the photos, on a pure human-interest level, is they seem to be among the »
Future Iraq Movie by the Wachowskis?
7 December 2009 9:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Are the Wachowskis making a film about Iraq? Does pundit Arianna Huffington appear in it, albeit aged to look 90 years older?
Such questions were raised after these recent tweets from Huffington’s Twitter account:
- It's a wrap! With Andy and Lana Wachowski at the end of a great shoot
- http://twitpic.com/skj0e - Profile shot from the futuristic movie on Iraq.
- http://twitpic.com/skira - Do u want to know what I'll look like in 90 years? Here's a shot from the set of the Wachowskis' futuristic movie.
The Wachowskis are rumored to be adapting "Cloud Atlas", the David Mitchell book containing six stories, two of which are set in either the near-future or a post-Apocalyptic world. However, neither description of those chapters sounds like what Huffington tweeted over.
Chud.com sounds pretty confident that she was participating in test camera shots, not the next sci-fi blockbuster, »
Arianna Huffington’s Tweets Lead to Speculation about Wachowski Siblings’ Next Project
7 December 2009 6:45 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Using the magic of Twitter, Arianna Huffington, found of the liberal news blog The Huffington Post, may have leaked the news of the next movie from the Wachowski Siblings (I would say “Brothers” but Huffington tweeted the first image of Lana, formerly Larry, Wachowski). Peter at /Film broke the story of Huffington tweeting photos from the set of what she believed to be the Wachowskis look back on the Iraq War from 90 years in the future. The photos show Huffington in front of a green screen wearing a funky hairdo. However, Devin over at Chud reports that Huffington was just shooting test footage-most likely for the cameras which are Red. But camera tests for what?
Erik over at Cinematical pointed out that the Wachowskis optioned David Mitchell’s novel Cloud Atlas, which is an anthology of six separate but loosely related narratives of varying times, places, and genres. Back to Peter, »

Update: New Wachowski Siblings Futuristic Movie On Iraq In Production?
7 December 2009 4:11 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Updated: Devin at Chud says these are just tests for the Wachowskis' next project, and they're just shooting a couple of days this month. On top of that Erik Davis at Cinematical points out they have optioned the David Mitchell novel "Cloud Atlas," which FirstShowing.net learned Tom Tykwer was adapting back at the beginning of the year. That novel is comprised of six separate but loosely related narratives that weave together history, science, suspense, humor and pathos, but Tykwer didn't tell the site which of the six stories he was focusing on. There's also no confirmation that is the project they are working on.
Peter at Slash Film was the first to be alerted and sent out an email blast to the rest of us online movie folk that Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post has updated her Twitter profile with five images from the set of a film she is working on. »

Arianna Huffington Out’s The Wachowskis’ Next
7 December 2009 4:08 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
"On plane to Chicago to take part in the Wachowskis' movie on Iraq from the perspective of the future." That's where political pundit Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post, began her day on Twitter. From there, she proceeded to tweet pictures from her screen tests for the new film from The Wachowski Brothers, including a shot with her and former-brother-now-sister Lana Wachowski. We've gleaned from her Tweets (seen below) that the film is a futuristic take on the war in Iraq, set some 90-years in the future. In the search for answers, the blogosphere has uncovered more information that could be relevant. Cinematical Editor Erik Davis mentioned on Twitter that the Wachowski's recently optioned the David Mitchell novel Cloud Atlas, which presents six stories, two of which are set in a dystopian future. The book follows six people who are the reincarnations of the same soul through a great span of time. Per »

Noted Blog Magnate Tweets From Set of Untitled, Insane Wachowski/Huffington Project
7 December 2009 4:00 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
/Film asks a perfectly valid question, and that is, what the hell is Arianna Huffington going on about on her Twitter feed today? In a mysterious and bizarre tweet last night, the HuffPo proprietress and Hellenic opinion-haver announced she was on her way to "chicago to take part in the Wachowskis' movie on iraq from the perspective of the future." Some hours later, there she was, true to her word, asking, "Do u want to know what I'll look like in 90 years?" Sure, Arianna! We'll bite! For those of you who guessed, "Like expensive jewelry buried deeply in a mound of nutrient-rich soil," you're wrong. Turns out the Arianna of 2100 looks a lot like Ivana Trump on her fourth wedding day!
One major mystery solved -- but that leaves another dangling, and that is ... what Wachowskis movie on Iraq from the "perspective of the future?!" »
Is the Wachowskis's Next Project a Futuristic Iraq War Movie?
7 December 2009 3:22 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
What the heck is going on? Peter from SlashFilm just called me to tell me about some interesting things he found on Twitter today. Arianna Huffington, seen in the photo, the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder of The Huffington Post newspaper, recently started tweeting about her visit to Chicago for a movie shoot with the Wachowskis. Here's her first mysterious Tweet: "On plane to Chicago to take part in the Wachowskis' movie on Iraq from the perspective of the future." Whoa, whoa, wait what?! Did the Wachowski's get an entire movie into production without anyone knowing? And it's set 90 years in the future and about Iraq? Arianna has also been sending out a few interesting photos from the set. The one you see at the top of this post came from her Tweet which read: "Do u want to know what I'll look like in 90 years? Here's a shot from the »

Are The Wachowskis Making An iraq Film?
7 December 2009 3:10 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
We've all been waiting to see how the Wachowski Brothers will follow up (and, er, wipe our memories clear of) Speed Racer, and Huffington Post founder/blogger Arianna Huffington thinks she knows, as she's been shooting footage with them for what she describes as an Iraq war-based film set in the future.The lads over at Slash Film uncovered Huffington's tweets on the subject, which's she's dragged out of the murky wold of rumour by posting actual images of her at the shoot and with the Wachowskis (Larry, by the way, is now known as Lana). But while they speculated that it could be for an actual film in production, Devin over at Chud looked into it and quickly shot that idea down, discovering that they were actually just shooting visual tests.Naturally, everything is wrapped in the usual layer of Wachowski-style mystery, but current thinking points towards the pair »
Wtf: Secret Wachowski Brothers Futuristic War Movie In Production?
7 December 2009 2:53 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Are the Wachowski Brothers shooting a top secret movie right now? This is the question I received in my email from /Film reader Seann A, who included a link to Arianna Huffington's twitter account. Many of you will recognize Huffington as a syndicated columnist and co-founder of the liberal news website The Huffington Post. Arianna sent out a bunch of interesting tweets today claiming to be shooting a part in a Wachowskis Brothers film, a movie about the Iraq War, from the perspective of the future. I would normally just write this off as not legit, but Huffington has posted photos from the set, one of which features Wachowski brother turned sister Lana Wachowski. Is it possible that the Wachowski Brothers have actually sneaked their next film into production without anyone noticing? Or is this just part of a short film, commercial, or test footage for a potential future project? »

What up, Wachowskis?
7 December 2009 1:15 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
The webs were aflutter earlier today with rumors that the Wachowski siblings were secretly shooting their next movie. Any truth? Maybe sorta kinda. The buzz began when author / columnist / Post-owner Arianna Huffington tweeted pics (like the one here) of herself "from the set of the Wachowskis' futuristic movie", alternately noting it involved Iraq "from the perspective of the future", and is apparently set 90 years from now. This prompted slashfilm to theorize that the »

Old Media Murdoch and New Media Huffington took off the gloves Monday at the start of a Federal Trade Commission workshop examining the impact of the internet on journalism.
Calling the future of journalism “more promising than ever,” News Corp. chairman-ceo Rupert Murdoch Tuesday told the FTC that he intended to expand charging to read news to more of his newspapers' websites and is extensively exploring providing content to various e-book and mobile TV platforms.
