"NSW Premier Bob Carr has welcomed bold plans for a low-flying helicopter chase in Sydney's CBD for the making of The Matrix Reloaded.
The helicopter scene is expected to be filmed over two days during July and will force the evacuation of some office buildings, Bridge and George Streets and Martin Place."
Waaay back in 1998, I was working fairly intense hours for a client in the CBD while the original Matrix was being filmed. On one particular Saturday they were filming the street scenes where Neo first escapes from the Agents. Hunter Street had been converted into a movie set. Left-hand-drive cars everywhere, hundreds of people in suits, but unfortunately no sign of Keanu. It's so exciting that big budget Hollywood movies are now being made in Australia, but for the moment, I'll just sit on the sidelines as a mere observer.
A cousin of mine, however, was involved as a body double in The Matrix Reloaded, but apparently all his scenes have been cut ;-(
