Art
of the Matrix -
Illustrating the arduous production process, this hefty tribute
showcases everything from Steve and Andy Wachowski's original
stick figure sketches to the conceptual designs and dynamic, scene-by-scene
story boards (drawn and commented on by Geof Darrow, Steve Skroce
and Tani Kunitake) that convinced Warner Bros. to green-light
the project. Although some stunts, like Trinity's dive into a
window from the top of a moving El train, were aborted because
of safety and budgetary concerns, the movie closely mirrors the
seamless narrative of the story boards. In addition to the visuals,
this comprehensive volume includes a final draft of the shooting
script as well as scene notes and deleted script excerpts provided
by Phil Oosterhouse, assistant to the Wachowski brothers.
