The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

En dat noemt zich een fan!

Ja ok

Maar serieus ik heb ook nog wel het een en ander aan mijn hoofd gehad de laatste tijd.

Nu weer een nieuwe poster!!!! agent Smith

Ik weet niet maar deze poster is op een of andere manier toch wat minder.

En ik heb een kaartje voor 11-05 om 1500 in Pathe Schouwburgplein!!!!! Gaan er nog meer mensen naar die voorstelling?

Iemand ooit wel eens gehoord van Metacortex? Dit is het bedrijf waar Neo werktte in deel 1. Hiervan is nu een site online onder dit adres: Metacortex site

Ik weet niet wat het is maar er is een rage aan de gang met het ontdekken van dingen op de site. Zo kan je op een of andere manier inloggen en zo alle geegevens van Neo opvragen, wat mij tot nu toe ook nog niet gelukt is. Bijzonder is ook dat de site doet geloven dat het er in werkelijkheid vestgingen over de hele wereld zijn. Bij products is er zo een poster in binaire codes, die vertaald het volgende oplevert: The machine turns, turns and must keep on turningûfor ever. It is death if

it stands still. A thousand millions scrabbled the crust of the earth. The

wheels began to turn. In a hundred and fifty years there were two thousand

millions. Stop all the wheels. In a hundred and fifty weeks there are once

more only a thousand millions; a thousand thousand thousand men and women

have starved to death."

Bne nog steeds bezig met hoe en wat maar het is wel het vreemdste wat ik ooit heb gezien, heb ook geen idee wie met het idee kwam en of the Wachowski's er iets mee te maken hebben. OOk schijnt er ergens een afteller te zijn naar 5 november...

De tracklist is nu bekend van de soundtrack!!! (spoilers)tracklist

Deze film al drie stemmen. Hier klopt volgens mij iets niet...

Denk je?

Interesant interview met John Gaeta en Greg Juby:

I'm in Barcelona at the tech/art/culture confab Artfutura, listening to the two effects masterminds behind the Matrix trilogy: John Gaeta (right-hand side of the photo below) and Greg Juby of effects house ESC (Greg's at left in this photo).

ESC is the company created by the Wachowski brothers and John Gaeta to produce the complex work of visual effects in the Matrix series. Gaeta may well be the single most influential person in the last decade of visual effects, and right now he's talking to the audience of Spanish digital artists and tech developers here about the creative process behind the films, and what to expect in the forthcoming Matrix: Revolutions:

* "What will be different in Revolutions? It's the final, ultimate manifestation of Larry and Andy Wachowski's anime dream: to make am movie as close to an anime as possible. Take the best and coolest aspects of anime -- large scale robotics, entanglements between man anad machine -- and tranform it into a feature, live action film. You'll also see lots more bullets."

* "Subconsciousness needs to be redefined with every generation. Matrix is a stylized sci-fi story, but the root of the idea that you can have imagery placed into your mind is a very possible scenario, and I think that's a universe that our generation was finally ready to start dealing with. I grew up on Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and many other filmmakers that triggered ideas inside my mind -- that's how evolution works. One generation speaking to another. Larry and Andy [Wachowski] are preoccupied with those ideas, too, but they're also pop culture junkies and they share an obsession we also have with darker sci-fi threads in films you see in films like Bladerunner. It's no accident that some of the scenes in the Matrix trilogy are reminiscent of Bladerunner, because we've been dying all our lives to do that kind of work. "

* "I want to make an electrochemical movie. In the year 2099 I'll be 130 years old, but I think around 2063 I'm going to have my brain taken out and have it inserted into a clone who's about 21 years old. Maybe some bionic augmentation upgrades, too. In about 40 years, I'm thinking some sort of military-industrial-supercomplex-international-intelligensia supergroup will figure out how to export imagery to people's brains. If you can see it in your head while you're dreaming -- well, that image is created somehow. Someday, someone will figure out how to place that image into your brain. It'll be some combination of electricity and drugs, and they'll call it Rosebud.

A billion people will attend the first electrochemical movie premiere. Everyone in the audience will experience love again for the first time, and we'll become gazillionaires. I don't know how we'll make our electrochemical movie into a DVD, though. And distribution is definitely going to be a problem."

* "The most difficult thing about creating effects for the trilogy? Designing choreography that could never be actualized by human beings."

In hert volgende artikel word beschreven waarom Reloaded wel en Revo geen uitgebreide sponsoring krijgt van oa Samsung en Heineken:

Powerhouse marketers Samsung, General Motors and Heineken, which spent more than $100 million in product tie-in advertising around the summer release of The Matrix: Reloaded, are sitting out the sequel after finding the movie too advertiser-unfriendly.

The three marketers believed, following the success of the original The Matrix cult classic, that the sequels would be powerful vehicles for their brands. Their massive global media and promotional spending around the first of those sequels, last summer's Reloaded, likely helped the Warner Bros. film hit $770 million in worldwide box office receipts.

But the advertisers are largely leaving the studio to market the third film, The Matrix: Revolutions, alone.

Difficult to work with

Publicly, brand executives at the companies said the timing of Revolutions, a mere six months after Reloaded, didn't make sense. Privately, though, some said that the group of filmmakers responsible for the Matrix franchise proved extremely difficult to work with.

Several elements of the Reloaded experience upset advertisers, according to those close to the situation. The movie's release date changed from late 2002 to summer 2003, making it tough for partners to adjust their marketing calendars. Heineken, Samsung and their ad agencies went through "innumerable" rounds of creative changes to meet the specs of the filmmakers, said one executive.

The writers/directors, the Wachowski brothers, and producer Joel Silver were also highly protective of footage that was needed to create promotional ads and other materials, executives said.

Bad timing

Warner Bros. executives said it was the timing and not the process that made partners bow out of Revolutions.

"The Matrix property is an enormous one that faced a lot of unique challenges in marketing and execution," said Diane Nelson, executive vice president of domestic marketing for Warner Bros. "We're thrilled to have A-level partners who were as understanding as they were of a really challenging process."

Heineken and Samsung are touting the DVD release of Reloaded in some U.S. and international markets with the tagline "Reload before the Revolution begins." Ms. Nelson said the DVD support would boost awareness of Revolutions.

The rough-and-tumble situation between the studio and marketers, while not unprecedented in Hollywood, points up the difficulties of melding the cultures of the entertainment and ad industries. "Studios have to take these companies more seriously," said a promotions veteran. "They have to be more attuned to the companies' needs."

Heineken's seasonal shift

A spokesman for Heineken said the release of Reloaded at the beginning of the summer boosted business in a pivotal beer-consumption season. A November release wouldn't serve that purpose, and it was timing that drove the brand's decision not to promote Revolutions, he said. Yet, the spokesman added, "dealings with partners are sometimes easy and sometimes more difficult."

Norm Marshall, CEO of entertainment marketing agency Norm Marshall & Associates, who worked with several of the film's partners, said the campaigns launched by Samsung and Heineken worked, but that the brands decided not to promote Revolutions. He wouldn't comment further.

Beyond product placement

GM's Cadillac division had to scotch much of its planned ad campaign around Reloaded because the brand did not have access to film footage. Its CTS and Escalade EXT were prominently featured in the film, but the deal initially had been structured to go beyond product placement to a full-scale integrated TV campaign. That didn't materialize.

Mark LaNeve, general marketing manager of Cadillac, said that months before the film's release he was working with the studio on a plan for ads to show his brand's vehicles in the movie. Instead, Cadillac's effort was just a single ad in the Los Angeles Times the day the movie arrived and an ad in USA Today. Cadillac now denies it had wanted to do TV commercials.

Bevestigt is al dat er geen songs bij de aftiteling te horen zijn, maar nu blijkt dat Juno Reactor het volgende gaat doen:

Word has it that the end credits of "matrix revolutions" is a single piece of music by JR 8.30 min long and in 5.1 surround, with vocals from the legendary singer "Lakshmi Shankar" two other cues feature JR in revolutions.

Bevestigt is nu ook dat de volgende dingen als bonus op de cd zullen staan:

- een speelbare video game

-Revo trailer

-Character bios van het verwachte comic boek !!!
