New Matrix

Theyve had their fair share of bad luck.. the woman who played the Oracle, Gloria Foster died in late 2001, not to mention the death of Aaliyah, who was in line for a part.. and the casting saga over Jet Li, who went on to make The One..

I think this is going to be well worth the wait..

A HELICOPTER will fly at low level through Sydney's CBD next month in one of the most spectacular aerial movie scenes ever filmed.

The stunt for the $200 million sequel to the 1999 blockbuster The Matrix will take at least two days to film.

The helicopter will fly below rooftop level from the eastern end of Bridge St towarRAB George St in what insiders say is the climactic scene of The Matrix Reloaded.

The scene will be shot over at least one, and possibly two, weekenRAB in July.

Stars Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne, who have been fixtures in Sydney's social scene for almost a year, are not expected to be involved in the shoot, which is reminiscent of the jaw-dropping helicopter sequences in the first Matrix.

Details of the stunt are being closely guarded, with directors Larry and Andy Wachowski fearing other studios could steal their ideas.

Producer Joel Silver last month said filming was about to enter a critical stage.

"The most complicated sequence of the movie will not start shooting for two or three weeks," he said.

"That is a 14-minute sequence that is the most complicated sequence ever put on film."

The Wachowskis will meet officials from the Premier's Department on Tuesday to discuss safety details.

Most of the streets surrounding the stunt will be closed to the public.

"We want to keep encouraging international film-making in Sydney, but we have to balance that with ensuring the safety of the public," a spokesman for Premier Bob Carr said.

It is not the first time the area around Bridge St has been used for helicopter stunts

Also , producer Joel Silver has got fed up seeing the same style effects from the first matrix popping up in other films,
So the new special effects in the Matrix 2 and 3 will only be seen the matrix. No other film will be able to copy them.
 
Surely they could patent the methoRAB and processes of achieving the effects, which is quite legit i think.

I dont think they realised exactly how *much* people would use that slow flying stuff after the first matrix!

I can't wait to see these films tho... they seem so far away!

Forget about any rings and their lorRAB, neo kicks ass...
