Best part of the movie. Might have missed it if I hadn't sat through the credits trying to see who built the sets and who sang the final Rage Against the Machine-esque song.

Honestly, I missed it. I had to pee real bad. Like insanely bad. And I had peed just prior to going in as I always do at movies now. Sometimes Japanese tea and diabetes don't mix well...
Fortunately, my +1 sat through it and related it completely, which is one of many reasons why I brought him (he also sprang for dinner in Japantown and gifted me a bottle of 100 proof whisky).
This needed more Ricci. She was only in that one odd cameo.
RE: The Matrix - Greg - 01-10-2022
I missed her or didn't recognize her. I was surprised when her name popped up in the credits.
RE: The Matrix - Drunk Monk - 01-10-2022
She was the exec who talked to the game makers. A very small cameo. Extremely disappointing. We expected so much more.
My +1 nearly squeed when he saw her. He didn't know she was cast. I had forgotten. He's a huge fan of Ricci and even did one of those autograph things at SVCC because he wanted to get close enough to smell her. He said she smelled nice.

Quote:Get Ready for Choreographed Bullet Time in The Matrix Dance Adaptation From Danny Boyle
Sabina Graves
Plug into a rather unique take on the Wachowski siblings’ The Matrix by way of Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), who’s directing a staged dance interpretation of the 1999 sci-fi hit. Yes, you read that correctly—dance, because we’re clamoring for a choreographed, performance-art adaptation of the action movie franchise.
It’s really happening, according to Variety, which reported that the show, titled Free Your Mind, is set to premiere at the Factory International (a venue so new it’s still under construction) in Manchester, England next fall. Operating as an official expansion of the franchise, Warner Brothers Theater Ventures is working with the Oscar-winning filmmaker, who’s set to direct what’s described as a “large-scale immersive performance.” Slumdog Millionaire featured a dance number, of course, but Boyle is also no stranger to eccentric stage shows; most recently, he directed the 2011 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, in which the duo swapped around the lead roles of Doctor Frankenstein and the Monster.
We’re curious to see how exactly this ambitious production is going to be pulled off. The official logline reveals a bit of what to expect: “Combining the hip-hop choreography of hundreds of dancers with the latest immersive design, Free Your Mind will take audiences on a thrilling journey through The Matrix and into a new realm of possibilities.” Michael “Mikey J” Asante is on board to compose the music for the show with choreography by Kenrick “H2O” Sandy. Playwright Sabrina Mahfouz (Noughts & Crosses) will be writing the stage book for the Factory International-commissioned adaptation, which will also feature large-scale sculptures by artist Es Devlin and be produced by Boyle’s longtime collaborator Tracey Seaward. We really hope there’s a moment where Neo sincerely announces, “I know breakdance!”[img=0x0]https://s-img.mgid.com/l/-/680x385/-/aHR0cDovL3ZpZGVvLW5hdGl2ZS5tZ2lkLmNvbS92cmltYWdlcy91cy8yMDIwLTEwLTA5L2I5MDdmMTQ3YzNkOTJjYjFmYTNkNDQ4MTBlNTA4NTZkLmpwZw.jpg?v=1664496870-kdgN5gNU8IgJh-cNtW8Oc6ixfkfY_RUJS5CLDnkDtxI[/img]
