Culture Lilly Wachowski To Adapt The Trans Horror Novel Manhunt - The Wachowski brother that admitted porn made him "trans" is now making a TV show out of Manhunt, the book written by another man pretending to be a woman that features sexual violence, cross-dressing men murdering TERFs, and J.K. Rowling dying horribly.

Lilly Wachowski To Adapt The Trans Horror Novel Manhunt​

Lilly Wachowski, co-director of The Matrix and trans filmmaker, is set to adapt Manhunt, a 2022 dystopian horror novel by Gretchen Felker-Martin.

The adaptation promises to bring Felker-Martin’s brutal and gripping narrative to life on screen, a story that centres around trans women surviving in a post-apocalyptic world where testosterone transforms people into feral, zombie-like creatures.

Lilly Wachowski to adapt Manhunt​

Felker-Martin, thrilled by the news, shared her excitement on X, writing, “The cat’s out of the bag, baby,” and expressing that she “couldn’t be prouder or more excited to be writing it.”


Fans of trans horror are eager to see this ground-breaking story brought to the screen, especially given the novel’s unique take on a post-apocalyptic narrative, which diverges from the usual cisgender lens.

In Manhunt, trans women Beth and Fran are on the run, not only from these feral men but also from a group of murderous TERFs.


The narrative goes beyond mere survival, as the women struggle to continue their transitions amidst the chaos, a literal fight for life in the new world gone mad.

Manhunt is not for the faint of heart, and readers can expect the TV adaptation to be just as intense and horrifying.

More projects in the works for Wachowski​

Wachowski, who has always been open about her commitment to telling queer and trans stories, expressed her passion for the project in an interview with Autostraddle. “We’re going to do our damnedest to bring this thing kicking, screaming, and queer as hell onto the screen,” she said.

This adaptation isn’t the only queer project on Wachowski’s radar.

During her Autostraddle interview, she revealed that she is also adapting Jordy Rosenberg’s historical, genre-bending novel Confessions of the Fox.

Additionally, Wachowski shared that she had just completed a script with her partner, a response to the rising wave of anti-trans sentiment worldwide.

The script, titled The Hunted, explores a resistance movement led by trans people in a murder mystery that infiltrates the highest levels of government. “What if trans people could form this almost weather underground level of resistance?” Wachowski teased.

No further details have been released about the adaptation of Manhunt and when it is set to be released.

It's a shame how the Wachowski brothers fell off the map after The Matrix. I wonder what they're up to these days.

Unhinged and violent troon, a dime-a-dozen creature. Can't wait until all of this "art piece" get the treatment that their Weimar predecesors got

 

[Tootsie Bear]

This is more scary than horror movie released in the last decade.

Every day, they remind us that they're utterly vile, noxious, wretched human beings-as if we needed reminding. They can't help it. They're psychotic mutants.

Directing one flop after another. Their only post-Matrix film to perform well was V for Vendetta, and that was nearly 20 years ago (though they wrote it, they didn't direct it).

 

[Mettaur]

He likely hasn't found a studio willing to actually finance it. It doesn't mention any studio in the article. This is worth noting since their last film bombed and it would be surprising if a studio gave them money after that.

The article just says they are working on it but that could be as vague as they just wrote a script and they're trying to shop it around. It's entirely possible it'll just never get made.

 

[Alter Ego]

Please do it. Reveal to the world how crazy and vile trannies are.

This would be such a terrible movie, I’m all for it, I want to see them fail and laugh

a story that centres around trans women surviving in a post-apocalyptic world where testosterone transforms people into feral, zombie-like creatures.

Their fear of being manly and disgusting and a fetish for dressing as girls. Great example of how this is all a self developed fetish, DISGUSTING

They made this movie several decades ago, it's called Silence of the Lambs it's already better than whatever this crap will be.

 

[Temperance]

There's a possibility that trans lolcow PhilosophyTube (aka Abigail Thorn) might be the lead "actress" in this.
See:

Going back to the tweet in which choobs said he's attached to play lead in a dream project, it might actually be fellow hon Gretchen Felker-Martin who has his own thread here who just announced he's working on adapting his book Manhunt for TV with hon #3, Lilly Wachowski. Going chronologically we have these tweets:

(It's not confirmed though. Just speculated.)

Troons would be transformed pretty quickly if thats the case, seeming as they are y'know.. men.

It's a shame how the Wachowski brothers fell off the map after The Matrix. I wonder what they're up to these days.

The Matrix was pretty shit tbh, just a mash of bullshit borrowed from Dark City and Ghost In The Shell. I will admit i am biased because i never liked The Matrix even when it first came out and the acclaim around it confuses me to this day, but w.e.

Speed Racer is good and wholesome, btw. If you hadn't watched, you should.

post-apocalyptic world where testosterone transforms people into feral, zombie-like creatures.

The premise actually sounds interesting.

However...

The narrative goes beyond mere survival, as the women struggle to continue their transitions amidst the chaos, a literal fight for life in the new world gone mad.

Lost potential. If this was about normal men trying to escape this by searching for hormones, it'd be much better than this. That'd be the actual horror, to realise that to survive, you have to give up your manhood and you can't help much now being weakened this way.

The Masters of Horror episode "The Screwfly Solution" pretty much already did it. That was 18 years ago lol.

Pretty big "someone i wouldn't lose sleep over if this guy ended up in a ditch" vibes here... not going to lie. Only in clown world do people like this get rewarded with publishing. Remember though.. JK is the unforgivable, hateful monster of a human being.

The wachowski brother even openly admited that this was green lit because reality hasn't been bending to the TRA demands nearly as completely lately. Propaganda and little more. I mean who's any of this for? Oh yeah, so progs and upper middle class white normies have something to feel good about themselves for watching.

Clown world indeed... complete with the too much/misuse of makeup!

 

[Agares]

The premise sounds just like the Sonichu comics where Chris Chan executed his trolls and burned 4 Cent Garbage to the ground.

 

[frozen_runner]

Despite being pornsick weirdos, the Wachowskis are very creative people who have directed mostly solid stuff IMO... but there's no way I'm watching this piece of shit unless it's on a movie night with the Kiwi Krew.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I can't wait, not being sarcastic, this is gonna be a trainwreck lmao
