What is the Matrix XP? A good question... an even better question would be "Why all that effort?" " What for?" . We would like to answer this question with "Well, for the glory and money and women" but unfortunately the film has not brought us any of the above mentioned. Instead it ate up our savings and tied us up in front of the computer for month effectively cutting us of from any social interaction... (OK it wasn't THAT bad...) Anyway, the honest answer to the question would probably be "We couldn't help it"... ;-) First of all there should probably be an explanation about the length of our film: Yes, this is it. That's all folks, there will never be a "real" Matrix XP movie. (unless somebody gives us a couple of million bucks and settles the legal part with Time Warner...). We chose the form of a fake trailer because it allowed us to incorporate a lot of ideas about the Matrix that had been going round our heads for some time. They were good to get a laugh out of but not remotely strong enough to carry a story. (yes, I know THAT didn't stop big movies like "Dumb and Dumber" ...) Also we think that making a good trailer is an artform in itself by now and we wanted to have a try at it. Matrix XP is as you will notice not a "fanfilm" we do like the original movie of course and we deeply respect the work the Wachowskis did but our little thing aims at dismantling a bit of the Matrix myth. Not out of disrespect just because a good movie deserves a good spoof. We hope our little work will be noticed in the vast cyberspace of the internet and we all look forward to get on with our normal live now. Oh by the way! WE had the idea with the multiplying agent MONTH before the first teaser for Matrix Reloaded ever hit the internet... great brothers think alike ;-) !   deutsch | english © 2002 Ricke Bros.
