Why do Neo and the others have to go to a phone to get out of the matrix? I mean, it adds action and stuff, but since it isn`t real, there should be no need for it…..
Here’s the best explaination why that I could come up with: The Matrix is a computer program, we use phones to connect to the internet and each other. Cable isn’t a good way because there is no communication tool like a phone. So they use the phone. They plug their MINDS into the Matrix, placing themselves directly inside. Using the phone is a way of disconnecting their minds. Virtual Reality in books and movies is the same way, you disconnect the mind while it’s still in the program, you slip into a coma or die, which was what happened to Apoc, Switch, etc.
Is it true that Ewan McGregor was going to play Neo?
Keanu Reeves’ future as Neo in the Matrix sequels is secure, but before the first movie was made many actors were under consideration for the role. Previously it had been reported by Mr. Showbiz that Will Smith turned the part down and that Brad Pitt was up for Neo, but Redpill Productions’ Spencer Lamm mentioned Friday at the San Diego Comic Con that Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor, was on the list of actors who the Wachowski Brothers thought of for the lead role in the eventual mega-hit. Also, Val Kilmer at one point was set to play Morpheus and many better known actresses, such as Jada Pinkett Smith (Matrix 2 and 3’s Niobi), were up for the part of Trinity, though Carrie-Anne Moss impressed the brothers so much that they lobbied for her. While those alternate possibilities sound interesting, we’re glad things turned out the way they did.
