There is no spoon. Meet actor Rowan Witt, age 23. Now don’t you feel old.

Katie and I are watching The Matrix DVD commentary right now. Lost of interesting insights.

  • Roughly 20% of all frames were digitally altered which was an enormous proportion at the time.
  • Shooting in Sydney proved difficult when they needed to find derelict neighborhoods and alleys. Apparently the city just doesn’t have slums or run down neighborhoods in the same way that most American and British cities do. The city is just too nice!
  • The Helicopter crash was just about the only scene in which a small scale model was used. 
  • The lobby scene took about ten days to shoot (for about 3:00 of film) and all the columns, all the explosions, all the stunts are real. Only about two stuntmen shots were used in the entire scene. 
  • Carrie-Ann Moss was only given one take to land her off the wall cartwheel (with the help of some wire work) because it took about 6-8 hours to reset any one of the columns.
