Hey folks, Harry here... Looky! Matrix stuff... weeeeeeeee!!!
GDay Harry,
Some of your talk-backers thought that it was a waste of time letting us know about the Matrix filming down here in Sydney. Well, I'd like to ask that you continue to let us know when something is happening.........where ever in the world it may be.
You've got a hell of a following the world
over. I met two other guys at the Matrix set today who were both there
because they read your article. Rest assured, if you put out the
word.........one of your spies will turn up at that location and find out
whatever they can. So, today, at about 2pm Sydney time, I arrived at
Governor Phillip Tower in the centre of Sydney. Outside the building was a
hundred or so extras, (they all wore business suits, and looked like they
were part of the training program in the original Matrix which featured the
Lady in the Red Dress). The extras were all called by the 2nd Unit Director
into the building lobby and lined up. I couldn't get into the lobby, but
tried to zoom in (one of the extras is seen waving at me....lucky bastard).
Anyway, the shot involved a huge clock, which was on the lobby wall.
Amazingly, the clock was stuck on the wall with scotch tape (how simple, yet
effective). I spoke to the gaffer on set, and he said that the shot was
looking directly down on Neo, Morpheus and Trinity, and the crowd of people
would walk around them. Seconds worth of film, which took about 7 hours to
film. I soon realised that all three actors were on set, and they hastily
exited the building when they were finshed. I just managed to get a quick
shot of Keanu and Carrie-Ann. The gaffer also told me that they have a few
more months filming to do......
so anyone with any locations should let Harry know so that we can all get our butts down there and get some better shots. The Wachowskis were not on set.
Cheers
The Silent Type
