Lilly Wachowski is developing The Hunted, a dystopian political thriller co-written with Mickey R. Mahoney. She is hosting a live reading of the project, according to Deadline Hollywood.
Natasha Lyonne is producing the film. The live reading will take place at Dynasty Typewriter and marks an early public presentation of the material.
Wachowski, the Oscar-winning director of The Matrix trilogy, has been selective with her projects in recent years. Lyonne, known for Orange Is the New Black, has become active in indie and prestige television production. The pairing signals creative ambition for The Hunted.
Details about the plot remain under wraps. The dystopian political thriller description has already prompted speculation among film audiences. With Wachowski's visual sensibility and Lyonne's involvement, The Hunted is positioned as a notable original project in development.
