Sorry if it seems like I'm posting new topics every couple of minutes, but Matrix fans could be interested to find out what could have been....

Taken from coming-soon.net...

The May/June issue of Creative Screenwriting contains a fascinating article for fans of THE MATRIX films. In Jeff Goldsmith's six-page examination, the writer looks back at the first and second drafts of THE MATRIX as written by the Wachowski brothers and before the story had coagulated into the shooting draft. The Wachowskis' earlier scripts contain a number of story elements that were junked from the final product audiences saw in theaters, including Neo leaving a girlfriend and little brother behind in the Matrix, an explanation about the origins of the Matrix from a sentient computer program named Eve and different action sequences. One of the more interesting ideas revealed to have been included in these MATRIX early drafts is the idea that the Matrix runs from the years 1980 to 2009, then "reloads" back to 1980 and begins the cycle once again. That should sound familiar to RELOADED fans.

FF7 did it already. Although Cloud got away from them in that.

I just thought, would it reload back to 1980 because that is the supposed birth of 'The One'?

Why were they cut?

I'm assuming complexity, and/or budget reasons, or maybe because they really wanted to play up the power of agents.

There was a scene written in the original draft for The Matrix that never made it to film. When the Agents are chasing Trinity at the beginning, she hopped out of a window and jumped on a moving train and the chase continued from there. Also, in the scene in which Morpheous and Agent Smith fight in the bathroom, that fight was to continue down into the sewers and back up onto the streets again.
