Topic - The Matrix Revolutions
Here are a couple comments from the people involved in the matrix trilogy:
Joel Silver says:
Reloaded and Revolutions could be one film. But I htink they work best as two sittings. It's quite a lot to absorb. Revolutions is all-out war between the humans and the machines and will, by all accounts, blow your minds. We have a 14 minute, $40 million battle sequence that is the most complicated sequence ever put on film.
John Gaeta, stunt director:
"Reloaded, no problem; even though it was incredibly difficult, there was a lot of buffer time built in. Revolutions, on the other hand is aggressive because it's quite grand. Revolutions is much more epic. More creature based and much more about machines and bio-mechanical places. It's an awesome catagory to work in as a lot of us are big fans of Alien. It's a completely different train to anything we've done before.
Dan Cracchiolo, Production executive:
"You know Revolutions is the real thing, right? Revolutions is the pay off. Reloaded is just a tease...."
Keanu Reeves:
"The first is about birth. The second about life. The third about death. I don't know though. Maybe it should be called The Matrix Resurrection."

Topic - The Animatrix
Heres a snippet from "Computer Graphics World" magazine desribing how "The Final Flight Of The Osiris" was created:
The Team modeled the characters in Maya, and created the skin texture in photoshop and rendered it in Pixar Animation Studios' RenderMan. To create a look of muscles under the skin, the team wrote a Maya plug-in. "It's a pose-based system that our modelers used to sculpt the musles as they would appear in each pose," explains Andy Jones. To create realistic clothing and hair, they relied on SQFlex, a tool they wrote while working on "Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within".About 40% of the piece was keyframed in Maya so that the animators could acheive photorealistic yet superhuman movement without the need for rigs. The remaining 60% was animated with motion analysis's motion capture technology.
The Companies that make "The Final Flight Of The Osiris" possible are:
Adobe Systems
Alias|Wavefront
Apple Computer
Avid
Cambridge Animation Systems
Celsys
Discreet
Motion Analysis
NewTek
Pixar Animation Studios
Softimage

Merovingian "French is my favourite, fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculés de ta mère. You see, it's like wiping your ass with silk, I love it."
Here is a very interseting site. If you really liked the sunglasses, or costumes used in "The Matrix Reloaded", well you can have them!
