A 'REVOLUTIONS' PREVIEW - M.S. The one hard thing to bear about Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy has been the yearlong wait between installments. For the Wachowski brothers and producer Joel Silver, that was never a consideration. "We talked about releasing them both in the same summer," says Silver. "As it is, [six months] is the closet we could get them together." Reloaded, which Silver calls "more of a pop wild ride," will end in mid-scene, with a cliffhanger that picks up at the start of the "more thought-provoking" Revolutions. "I think the audience will be very disturbed when the movie stops," Silver says. "They'll only calm down when they see the trailer for Revolutions." (Stay seated- it comes right after Reloaded's end credits.) So what can we expect from part three? "Revolutions spills into the real world and becomes very epic," says visual-effects supervisor John Gaeta. "People who like dark creature films, like Ridley Sott used to make, will really get off on this." The climax alone will cost a reported $40 million-plus. Then there's Club Hell, an S&M club in the Matrix. "We had to learn a lot about rubber," says costume designer Kym Barrett. "By the end of the movie, we knew everybody in Sydney, France, and London who makes fetish wear." Reeves describes a gunfight in the entrance of Club Hell. "The people who are protecting the club fight on the ceiling," he says. "Instead of doing that digitally, they had real humans and real rigs to allow people to go from the floor standing up to upside down on the ceiling. I loved that they did that mechanically, four or five people in one shot."

The scene where Trinity is fighting the Gimp upside down is probably the Club Hell Scene. An S&M Club, at least Trinity won't look too out of place. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
