Hell Cast My Chemical Romance and The Used as part of the hungry crowd and you already have the Emo kids helping you break even.

How about this?
...and I've got the script.

Quite so.
Lucas Arts just does the gaming, I think.

you mean these guys:
[www.ilm.com] ?
and Weta Workshop DOES NOT do VFX - they build models and armor and stuff...it's Weta Digial that does VFX.
as for them opening up their own VFX shop...that's what Cameron did with Digital Domain - then he sold his stake...having a bunch of VFX guys around might be cool (ie me and my friends) but running a very difficult business isn't.
as for what the Wachowskis should do next is find a producing partner who will tell them "NO" some of the time...creativity is fine, creativity + restraint is better.

No, McTeigue did. They were just producers.

Joel Schumacher has the rights to it. The Wachowskis should really be the ones to bring it to the screen.

Please, just let sleeping dogs lie.

NOPE!

Personally, I'd give Gaeta ALL the credit, as he started doing this stuff before the bros came into the picture. He was working on these things for the crummy "What Dreams May Come".
Too bad he can't direct, as his segment in the "Trapped Ashes" showed.

I give Geof Darrow thanks for many, many things!

When he would force us in one direction, months later the brothers would hate it and he would blame the artists. Sorry but to hear someone say Gaeta deserves ALL the credit it makes me want to puke.

I think what they need to do next is what George Lucas has needed ever since 1977: to do a low-budget project where the limitations encourage their creativity instead of them having enough money to simply answer every problem with, "CGI it,".

I'm not into having the Wachowskis do a low-budget flick without their awesome visuals. I loved Bound, but I want to see them transforming Hollywood not Sundance.

Fight scene with Ozzy at the end? Yuck and double yuck. Lack of squid fight? Well, that's not an effects question, so I won't add my QUADRUPLE YUCK. Oh wait sorry I just did.
