'Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness'

I think it's safe to say that Matrix Reloaded has become a box office success. Taking a chance on waiting 5 years to release a sequel is always a risk. A risk that was inevitable for the film however, because the film itself took a remarkable 3 years to complete. The multiple Agent Smith fight scene alone was a hefty month long shoot and the special effects took almost 2 years to complete.

There were a number of tragic events surrounding the filming of Matrix Reloaded, even before filming began. Singer Aaliyah was originally cast as the character Zee (Nona Gaye) but she was killed in a plane crash shortly before filming. Also, just before filming finished, Gloria Price (the Oracle) passed away from complications with diabetes. Even the living had a rough time through filming of the movie. Carrie-Anne Moss broke her leg during wire training, Laurence Fishburne fractured his arm and Hugo Weaving pulled a disc in his neck.

It takes a special kind of corportation to give away products worth thousands of dollars, knowing full well that they're soon to be destroyed. General Motors donated over 300 different cars for the filming of Matrix Reloaded. All of which were completely demolished by the end of filming.
