Even More Matrix Reloaded Screens and Big Newsweak article(Another Update)

[Despair]

The Matrix Reloaded: Newsweek has just done a massive article on both the sequels in their latest issue with new pics and a hell of a lot of detailled brand new information about all sort of things. For example, the freeway chase sequence "features two kung fu battles in speeding vehicles-one in the back seat of a Cadillac, the other on the roof of an 18-wheeler truck. There¨ˆs also a heart-stopping motorcycle chase through oncoming traffic and enough wrecked cars to keep a junkyard in business for years". There's also details on the plot, the 2500 FX shots required, and the next two films' big breakthrough that'll replace the famous 'bullet time' technique - 'virtual cinematography' which uses multiple super high-res digital cameras to calculate the actor¨ˆs appearance from every single angle the cameras missed. The result? Well take the Neo vs. 100 Agent Smiths fight scene we've heard a lot about - "Obviously, only one of those Agent Smiths is the real actor, Hugo Weaving-but you won¨ˆt be able to tell which one. The other 99, all digital creations, are three-dimensional, photo-realistic copies. They¨ˆre not just close approximations. They¨ˆre perfect. Their hair ripples, their faces contort, their bodies twist and fight".

Sounds very cool.

" The climax of ¡°Reloaded¡± is a lengthy freeway chase that, like the original ¡°Matrix¡± in 1999, will redefine action filmmaking and visual effects for years. Two familiar heroes, Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), have captured a critical pawn in mankind¡¯s struggle against the Machines: the Keymaker, a tiny Asian man who has access to all the doors into the Machine world. Now they must safely get the Keymaker out of the Matrix and back into the real world, and the only way to do that is through a hard telephone line. The closest one is a few miles down a nearby freeway. The trouble is, in the Matrix, a freeway is the last place you want to be. There are people everywhere, meaning the bad-guy Agents have an unlimited supply of bodies to jump into¡ªeach behind the wheel of a guided missile. ¡°You always said never get on the freeway,¡± Trinity reminds Morpheus as they race up the entrance ramp. ¡°You said it was suicide.¡± Morpheus grins. ¡°Let us hope,¡± the rebellion¡¯s Zen-calm leader says, ¡°that I was wrong.¡±
The ensuing sequence may be the most audaciously conceived, thrillingly executed car chase ever filmed. Sounds like hype, yeah. But you¡¯ve gotta see this thing. The scene features two kung fu battles in speeding vehicles¡ªone in the back seat of a Cadillac, the other on the roof of an 18-wheeler truck. There¡¯s also a heart-stopping motorcycle chase through oncoming traffic and enough wrecked cars to keep a junkyard in business for years. Fans will go particularly bonkers over one shot of an agent leaping from atop a moving car onto the hood of another and, with his feet, crushing the entire thing into a pretzel. Says cinematographer Bill Pope: ¡°It¡¯s going to make ¡®The Fast and the Furious¡¯ look like ¡®The Slow and the Dimwitted¡¯.¡±"

I don't want to know! I don't want to know anything! I want to see the movie knowing as little as possible so it will be absolutly amazing. I have high hopes for it being one of the greatest action/sci-fi movies I'll ever see. I already know too much and I barely know anything.
