Please don’t refer to them anymore as ‘elusive’ and ‘reclusive’. And instead of the ‘Wachowski Brothers’ or the ‘Wachowski Siblings’, they now prefer to be called ’Wachowski Starship’. To promote their upcoming sci-fi fantasy epic Cloud Atlas, the writing and directing duo are plug, plug, plugging it everywhere. They eagerly gave media interviews this week after their pic received a standing ovation at Fantastic Fest. They’ve already starred in their own YouTube videos. [Related: Lana Wachowski Comes Out For New Film]They’ve made sure they were included in every magazine’s Fall Film Preview. And now WBEZ Chicago bills this as Andy and Lana Wachowskis’ first live radio interview. Cloud Atlas starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Hugh Grant releases on October 26th:

The first Matrix movie was great and its terrific that Lana has become the person ahe wants to be, but I think a more appropriate name would be Wachowski Crazyship.
What does it matter what they call themselves?
LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!!!!!
How about just “The Wachowskis”? Don’t get me wrong, I love their work, mostly, but Starship? Seriously? Starship? What’s next? Maybe pulling a “Prince” and asking us to refer to them as an unpronounceable, abstract symbol, which would most likely force us to refer to them as “The Artists Formerly Known as The Wachowskis”? And…yes, I am looking forward to a screening of Cloud Atlas. It’s the kind of film they do best.
Please tell me “Wachowski Starship” was a joke.
Love it. Go big or go home.
Here’s hoping the Wachowski siblings have a whack-a-do cameo in CLOUD ATLAS.
So weird…
First commenter. I want the old Wachowski’s back.
So eventually, they’ll just go by ‘Starship’? excellent.
Good for them. Live large.
Why not simply, “The Wachs”
Fitting, no?
Post of the day!
I’ll bet they don’t have as many hits as Jefferson starship.
Will Grace Slick be their lead singer?
I think they took the blue pill and stayed in the Matrix…
’Wachowski Starship’? How pretentious. I hope no publication calls them that.
Chicago filmmakers are the best in the world… Kids growing up from the south side, parents with artistic abilities, and bookish readers… And movie lovers… Wow. Role playing games… Dungeons and Dragons… History buffs… I LOVE THESE SIBLINGS.
finally. now i know how as them it is possible to call
I love them for their brilliant ability to see what we can’t and show it to us. I admire their courage to be who they are.
Anybody know if one half of the starship is available? Will they retroactively credit the Starship for past work done on future dvds?
Um, guys, I was there. Andy Wachowski was joking. Ad it was very funny. And not serious.
