4. Before Larry and Andy became film-makers, they wrote several comics for Marvel and Epic Comics. These included work on the likes of: Marvel Clive Barker's Ectokid Epic Clive Barker's Hellraiser Clive Barker's Nightbreed Pre-Matrix Work
5. Pre-Matrix Work The first film the pair made together was “Bound” in 1996. This film was a neo-noir crime thriller and involved two women who have a romantic affair together and scheme to get $2 million from the Mafia. It was highly commended for its humour and style, and for the realistic portrayal of a lesbian relationship between the two leads.
6. The Matrix (1999) In 1999, the brothers filmed The Matrix, the first of the Matrix trilogy of films. It was praised for its fighting sequences and bullet time, derived from Hong Kong action cinema, most likely because it had never been seen before by the western moviegoing market.
7. The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions (2003) Reloaded and Revolutions are the second and third films in the Matrix trilogy respectively. They are generally put together because they were both filmed at the same time, and released in the same year, Reloaded in June 2003 and Revolutions in November 2003. Both are seen as inferior to the Matrix, most likely because they were less interesting – Revolutions especially was more plot-based rather than action based, which is what most fans were not expecting to see.
8. Burlyman Entertainment After the release of Revolutions, the brothers created Burlyman Entertainment, their own comic company. Under the Burlyman label they made comic books based on the Matrix trilogy, and also made two original series: Shaolin Cowboy Doc Frankenstein
9. Burlyman Entertainment In recent years, however, there have not been any comic book releases from the company and nor has the official site been updated. Therefore by public assumption the company is now defunct.
10. Ninja Assassin (2009) Ninja Assassin is the most recent movie in which the Wachowskis have had a hand in making. The brothers produced the movie, and by watching trailer footage of the film there is definitely a Wachowski influence in many of the fighting sequences.
11. Awards & Commendations BOUND: International Fantasy Film Awards “Best Film”, “Best Actress” (Jennifer Tilly) GLAAD Media Awards “Outstanding Film”
