In one of the most intriguing events of the 64th Cannes, the "Matrix" directors Andy and Lana Wachowski and "Run Lola Run" filmmaker Tom Tykwer told prospective buyers and exhibitors about their planned collaboration "Cloud Atlas," a centuries-spanning epic for which they are negotiating with Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon and Jim Broadbent to join the previously-announced Tom Hanks.
It was a rare appearance for the publicity-shy Wachowskis – who used to be known as the Wachowski brothers, before the former Larry Wachowski began wearing women's clothes and using the name Lana.
The Wachowskis have only made one film, 2008's "Speed Racer," since the conclusion of the "Matrix" trilogy in 2003.
