IMAX 3D it ain't!

We aren't saying the Wachowskis hate movie theaters or anything, but the Cloud Atlas and The Matrix trilogy directors appear to be switching to a considerably more intimate medium!

Who knows, maybe they just hate movie theater popcorn!? LOLz!!

Mila Kunis & Channing Tatum finally set a date!

Not for their wedding, silly — Magic Mike's preggo wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum might object to that!

The dynamic duo set a date for their epic intergalactic science-fiction adventure, Jupiter Ascending — which is now scheduled to beam into theaters July 25, 2014!

Mila's character is described as a futuristic take on Snow White who must throw down against the Evil Queen of the Universe! Ahh, sounds scurry!

Directed by Lana & Andy Wachowski — the super awesome siblings behind the Matrix movies — Jupiter Ascending also co-stars Game of Thrones' Sean Bean & Les Misérables' les hunk Eddie Redmayne!

Lana Wachowski, one-third of the directing trio behind Cloud Atlas, gave a powerful speech about her transgender experience recently, but the famously shy filmmaker isn't done talking about the issue.

In fact, anybody seeing her newest movie should keep it in mind.

While Lana and her brother, Andy, normally avoid the press at all costs, she wasn't shy about comparing the characters in the $100 million indie to herself.

In a recent interview, she referenced a character named Sonmi who instigates a revolution and said:

Lana Wachowski, the director of Cloud Atlas, has not made a public appearance to promote her and brother Andy's films in 12 years.

While the filmmaker prefers anonymity, she decided it was finally time to talk about her private struggles that so many others go through too. She got a great opportunity in San Francisco recently when she was honored with the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award.

The "painfully shy" woman behind The Matrix took advantage of the attention to speak about her transgender experience that started when she was a young child in Catholic School and continues to this day.

Mixing humor and brutal honesty, she takes the audience on a walk in her shoes as she recounts the day she almost committed suicide, the day she came to terms with who she really was, the day her parents accepted her femininity and the day she decided to sacrifice her private civic life to make this world a better place for the entire LGBT community.

Take some time and watch the incredible speech (above). We promise you'll laugh, you'll cry and maybe grow a little bit as a person.

Most of all, you'll be hoping that she makes these types of public appearances more often.
