Matrix Sequel Delayed to 2003

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the submitted-a-zillion-times dept.

moojin was among the countless slashdot readers who noted that scifi (No I am Sci-Fi dammit) has reported that the 'Matrix Reloaded' will be delayed until the summer 2003. I'm bummed, but I'm willing to wait to see the Brothers W do it right (no way I'm gonna try to spell that name ;)

    Rumors have also circulated that all three LOTR movies are filmed at the same time.

    It's not a rumor - it's a well known fact, at least to anyone who has been following the progress of the filming. All three movies were shot in one long marathon filming in New Zealand. Director Peter Jackson decided to do it all at once because it would be cheaper, and easier to get all the actors involved for one long shoot than for three shorter ones, spread out across 3-5 years.

    Principal photography for all three movies is now complete, but there will be touchup work to be done as editing takes place before the release of each of the following films.

    I'm sure there are loads of good links that make note of the fact that all three were shot at once, but I'm too lazy to do more than point to the FAQ at TORN
