Could ‘Sense8’ Restore Faith In The Wachowski’s?

The Wachowski’s are responsible for THE MATRIX, a movie that reinvented the film landscape. The science fiction classic introduced the world to ‘bullet time’ and cemented Keanu Reeves as an action hero. It was also smarter than your average popcorn-fodder flick, dealing with the idea that our reality is all on elaborate construct devised by our mechanical overlords. The film spawned two sequels but sadly though they broke the box office they couldn’t quite capture the same spark as the first.

Their next venture SPEED RACER was met with a lukewarm reception and an even colder worldwide gross. Then came CLOUD ATLAS which was a love it or hate it kind of film, and most recently they were responsible for JUPITER ASCENDING a film funny for all the wrong reasons.

We at THN love an underdog story and are hoping that their latest venture, a Netflix television series could see them turn everything around. The new show Sense8 sees eight strangers from eight international cities suddenly and inextricably linked to one another. Watch the trailer for more details below:

The series stars Daryl Hannah, Naveen Andrews, Freema Agyeman and Brain J. Smith and will air across all Netflix territories from Friday 5th June.
