MATRIX MOVIE: was stolen idea from a 1985 book

**dexy** · 01-19-2005, 10:10 AM

Did anyone else see this story, I heard it on a whole radio interview today. I haven't been on TV for a while, neither am I a hollywood follower, but this story blew my mind. Some links.. But this lady freaks me out with the stuff/ideas she talks about. She scared the **** out of me.

I'm sure this kind of stuff happens all the time. Typical greedy execs trying to cut out the 'little' people. Good for her. I still enjoy the Matrix series, and the Terminator series, even if they were both hijacked. Good thing she planned ahead and copyrighted all her works.

So...the movie was better than the book anyway...

The story was that, they had to back off the original story as she started the legal proceedings after Matrix 1, and then they had to re-edit the movie DVD release to take out some of her copyrighted work out, and in Matrix 2, they had to come up with a whole new twist, new characters e.t.c

This lady is a sci fi maniac though, on radio she was talking about some crazy stuff that freaked me out(some of em), like in future, we'll be all tagged with scannable id's so u walk into a store, eat and get out, and you'll be automatically charged. She also talked something hollywood fading in the future b/c of the digital age. Also about like satellite technology will be the new thing, every digital device connecting to satellites, Digital cameras that can take pictures of somewhere else on earth by connecting to satellites, and getting remote shots e.t.c, anyone else in NY hear that Radio interview this morning?

Trinity dieing was the only part that sparked any remote interest in the third movie.

It was better than the 2nd one, that's for sure

And if the storyline wasn't so convoluted, you could probably go straight from 1 to 3 and not really miss all that happened in 2.

The one on Hot97 right? I heard parts of it, some of the stuff she talked about was a little bit freaky. There were other things that I didn't believe, like when she said she can see 103 years into the feature. Yeah sure, if she could do that then she wouldn't be sitting at a radio station explain how they stole her ideas, instead she should go play the lotto.
