Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down

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.

  1. Canadian Money by citizenc · · Score: 2, Offtopic
    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.)
