The tale of Robin Hood will once again be told in film. While Ridley Scott was hoping for a sequel to his film (here), that apparently won’t be happening anytime soon (if ever). Instead, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Andy and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix Trilogy) will taking a “modern, urban” spin on the classic tale. A deal has already been made for them to write and direct the film.

Of course, details on the script are being kept secret at this time. There’s no word on when filming will actually begin, and it will likely be sometime before that happens as the duo is working on their current project, an Iraq War film titled CN-9. Actors are already being looked into, with insiders saying that the duo is considering Will Smith for a part. It’s unknown if it’s for the for of Robin Hood. The tale of Robin Hood has been told many times, with Ridley Scott the most recent director to take on the Prince of Thieves.

Matrix co-director Larry Wachowski has often told of his affection towards his female characteristics, and wanting to be one as well. It is now that Larry Wachowski, brother of Andy Wachowski is showing his inner female as he has been photographed throughout Los Angeles dressed from head to toe as a woman.

The Wachowski Bros. are notorious for the privacy and their reluctance to the press, so its a big step with this half of The Matrix and Speed Racer duo to show his true colors. No word as to how far the talented director will take the change, if to include gender transformation, but it does show an added confidence the man has now.

The Wachowski Bros. currently have Ninja Assassin as their latest production. “Assassin” is being directed by V for Vendetta director James McTeigue. The directors have no films lined up as of yet for their follow up to Speed Racer.
