With most directors, the idea that they were shooting a secret film that no one’s ever heard of would seem ridiculous, but with the Wachowski’s legendary for their secrecy and and never telling anyone what they’re up to, some Tweets from Arianna Huffington have set the blog world ablaze.
Huffington, the founder of liberal news site, The Huffington Post, tweeted that she was “On plane to chicago to take part in the Wachowskis’ movie on iraq from the perspective of the future”. She then followed it up with some on-set pics, including some with Lana Wachowski, but the only other real info she gave was that whatever they were shooting took place 90 years in the future.
This then got a lot of people wondering what the Wachowskis were up to, and whether they really were making a full-on secret film. However then Chud stepped forward with the seeming answer to the mystery, Under the title ‘The Wachowskis are not secretly shooting their next movie right not’, they said that Huffington “Was participating in tests for their next project. They’re just shooting a couple of days this month, but it’s all just test footage.”
It appears it’s test for Cloud Atlas, which the Wachowskis are producing and Tom Twyker is directing, and that this is most likely to be camera tests for the movie.
And anyway, it would be rather stupid to shoot a secret movie, and then invite a journalist to come and tweet pictures from the set, wouldn’t it?
