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.

    Yeah, sure it is. But only because of the hassle involved in shutting down a city.

    I am frankly prepared to be unimpressed with the sequels.

    This is an honest question. What's the deal with the smell? Philadelphia smells like shit. Is it the cheesesteaks?

    Philly is the only city I've been to that I couldn't imagine spending more than a week in. I was there for a couple days on a tour and was so glad to finally leave.

    There is this rancid smell that emanates from everything in that city. What is it?

    You're so cute when you do that thing you do.

    You know all the geeks on here need the Matrix 2 because they're running out of Matrix 1 frames to jack off to.

    OK, so this isn't anywhere near as important as other things in life...

    ...but why would you post a story like this? Why not say "Matrix Reloaded Has Interesting Request Of Sydney" and put details AWAY FROM THE MAIN PAGE? I mean, I left the theater when I saw a trailer for Matrix 2 and 3 was coming...

    Ah geez.. at least we know now that the world didn't explode by the end of the movie, and in fact, someone is flying a helicopter.. Thank taco for ruining the ending.

    I personally detest sports.... I'd rather clear the streets and sit at home for a few hours

    I think I know somebody who could use some exercise and *sunlight*. Jesus christ man! Do you detest sports because you don't like the blatant exhibitionalism and testosterone-pumped muscles, or because your jealous that the guys on the field can actually walk without getting winded?
