‘The Matrix’ Director Lilly Wachowski Says Hollywood Won’t Finance Her $10 Million Thriller Because It’s Got a ‘Wall-to-Wall Trans Cast’

Director Lilly Wachowski is struggling to secure financing for her upcoming dystopian political thriller, The Hunted. Despite positive reactions to the script, Hollywood financiers are refusing to fund the project, which has a budget of approximately $10 million. Wachowski attributes this lack of financial support to the film's wall-to-wall trans cast. The filmmaker is currently working to move the project out of late-stage production while facing industry resistance regarding its extensive transgender onscreen representation.
