Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon

Posted by Cliff on from the whatisthehelix dept.

CrazyMFW writes "'The Helix Loaded', a feature length spoof of the Matrix, has been unveiled to coincide with the general release of The Matrix Revolutions. At LA screenings of the third matrix installment, customers are being handed CD-ROMS shaped like a Red Pill or a Blue Pill. The CD-ROM includes a teaser trailer as a quicktime movie, and directs users to the web site for The Helix. The teaser trailers can also be downloaded from the site. No release date is mentioned for the film, but it does promise several further teaser installments at 2 week intervals - so we should learn more in the next couple of months. From the brief clips it looks like they've done a good job imitating the Matrix CGI on a low-budget."

    There is no 'I'-word in COMPUTER GRAPHICS or COMPUTER GRAPHICS ANIMATION!

    No..... but there is in COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGERY

    Why can't one acronym have more than one meaning?
