Wachowskis Press On With All-Trans Cast Film Amid Hollywood Reluctance

Lilly Wachowski says Hollywood won’t finance her dystopian thriller The Hunted because it features a “wall-to-wall trans cast,” despite interest in the script. The project, co-written with Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at about $10 million, is being developed with Natasha Lyonne’s Ariadne banner and Anarchists United, and Wachowski says she must find alternative ways to get it in front of audiences. The film centers on two trans women navigating oppression and resistance in a future America, and the piece situates this struggle in the broader industry context, including a GLAAD study showing zero transgender characters in 2025 major distributor films.
