Trinity-"Dodge This!"
Morpheus- "Free Your Mind"
Morpheus- "I imagine that right now your feeling a bit like Alice....tumbling down the rabbit hole"
Neo- "I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, i came here to tell you how its going to begin I'm going to hang up this phone and then i'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see"
Agent Smith- "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered; where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world we dreamed, but your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why The Matrix was redesigned to this...the peak of your civilization."
Morpheus- "The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around and what do you see? Businessmen, Teachers, Lawyers, Carpenters...the very minds of the people we're trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so innerred, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will that they will fight to protect it. Are you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress? Neo: I was.... Morpheus: Look again. (Neo turns around and sees an agent pointing a gun at him) Freeze it!"
The Matrix premise is that our world is actually a virtual reality computer program called The Matrix, and that we are really living in the 22nd century. Artificial Intelligent machines have taken over the planet. As a result of the war between humans and machines, the Earth is a sunless place in the throes of what looks like a permanent nuclear winter. The machines had depended on solar power, but now they have found an alternate source of energy: human beings themselves. Human beings generate both heat and electricity, and the machines have found a way to harvest both. To keep humans under control and to provide stimuli that enhance a body's electrical output, the machines created The Matrix.
"You take the BLUE PILL, you wake up in your own bed, and you BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO. You take the RED PILL, you stay in WONDERLAND, and I'll show you HOW DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE GOES."
"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. Another organism on this planet that follows that same pattern. Do you know what it is? "
"The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, here even in this room. You can see it out your window, or on your television. You feel it when you go to work, or go to church or pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
Matrix 2 Information

Release Date: Christmas, 2002 (moved back six months form May/June, 2002; as per an announcement by Joel Silver at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards)

Title Note: the upcoming movie is entitled, besides just being The Matrix 2, The Matrix Reloaded.

MPAA Rating: The first film was rated R, so it is very likely that the sequels will be as well.

Cast: Keanu Reeves (Neo), Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity), Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) (in talks) Agents Brown and Jones: Paul Goddard, Robert Taylor (There's not really much to say about them... except that I hope we continue to see them as a pair. Their brief scenes together seemed to show a natural teamwork; especially when they're scared.

Most Questionable Returning Cast: Hugo Weaving (A. Smith), Joe Pantoliano (Cypher) (Note: Anyone who's seen The Matrix may question whether these particular characters are going to return in the sequels; and may very well be correct. However... we can all think of historical precedents for the return of fictional characters you could've sworn would never come back again. Considering the fictional world in which The Matrix takes place, there are any number of ways these characters could come back if it is part of the Wachowski's plans for the series.)

Based upon: This of course the sequel to the popular 1999 film, The Matrix. It's to be followed by The Matrix 3 and (sort of) The Matrix Anime Prequel.

Premise: Nothing official has been announced. However, we do know that these films will be sequels (not prequels), and that we will see Neo as a superhuman figure capable of amazing feats. (as seen in The Matrix near the end; he demonstrated flight, time-control, super-speed, etc.) Much more than that is probably just rumor and speculation at this point. One thing that is known is that this film will most likely end with a cliffhanger that leads directly to The Matrix 3.

Filming: Production on these sequels is expected to start in Australia in the Fall of 2000. The schedule of actual filming for the two movies is estimated at around 250 days (which for the impatient, rules out the possibility of them making it to theaters by the summer of 2001 because post-production on these movies will probably be a massive, year-long project in itself).
