Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Music Box Theatre, opened in 1929, is one of the few surviving atmospheric theaters in Chicago, famous for its star-sprayed ceiling that still 'twinkles' during shows.
Lana Wachowski's appearance was filmed during production of The Matrix Resurrections, making this a stealth document of her return to public filmmaking after her transition.
