10 Behind The Scenes Stories From The Matrix

Before Resurrections, way back through the years and the decades, beyond Revolutions and Reloaded and Path of Neo, there was a mysterious 1999 sci-fi action movie. No-one really knew what to expect from it. Not one person predicted the impact it would have.

It was directed by the Wachowski siblings. Of course, now we know them as the visionary directors of Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending and all sorts of other movies. At the time, some people knew them for Bound. But nobody could have predicted how influential this chaotic combo of martial arts, philosophy, science fiction and apocalyptically rad action would be. The green code film, the blue pill picture, the red pill movie, however you want to think of it, there is a clear dividing line in popular culture before the spectacle of this movie and afterwards.

Bullet time, Rage Against The Machine, Simulacrum and Simulation, the lobby scene, robot squids, Agent Smith interrogation, dodge this - it’s all in there, and it leads all the way through to December 2021, and the fourth instalment.

But what went on behind the cameras? How did they make this iconic picture? Can you even imagine the movie without Computer-Generated Imagery? What hilarious and fascinating anecdotes can we gather?

In this video, Screenrant will be diving down the rabbit hole and looking at 10 of our favourite production revelations from the making of this influential artefact. Fasten your seatbelt Dorothy - because Kansas is going bye bye.
