Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-for-a-couple-days-anyway dept.

ro_len writes "News.com.au is reporting the producers of the Matrix Realoaded are looking to shut down Sydney for the filming of the final scene which involves flying a helicopter across the city at less than 600 feet above ground. It is supposed to be the most complicated sequence ever filmed." Just plain nuts. Here is a previous story about the trailer, and another one announcing the film.

    Yuk!

    Does anyone ever check the spelling on the story submissions?

    Just take an ad out in the Sydney Morning Herald stating that every Hotel in the city will be serving free Tooheys. Or you could just have ABC run reruns of Neighbors only in Sydney -- that should scare everyone out of the city.

    Props to Newtown -- my favorite suburb.

    The Canadian government recently released new versions of our $5 and $10 bills, which contain three security features to combat counterfitting:
    1. Microtext (really really small writing that can't be photocopied and would be quite difficult to just "print out")
    2. Watermarking (if you hold one of the new $5s or $10s under a black light, you'll see a rather complex watermark on both sides of the bill)
    3. Brail (yes, brail -- the new Canadian bills are readable by the blind. I'm still not sure how the brail stays.. uh.. braily with all the handling that money receives, but it does.)
