Due in 2002, Details Murky

Variety is reporting that the Wachowski brothers have commissioned several different anime directors to create anime 'episodes' for The Matrix. The plan appears to be to build momentum for the release of the second Matrix film by releasing the Matrix anime films on DVD in late 2002. So far the studio has not released any information about the anime directors (and studios) who are participating in the program. While it will probably be several more months before the studio announces the full details of the program, the mere fact that anime has become part of the strategy to keep the Matrix franchise fresh is testimony to the increasing respect that anime has earned here in the U.S. and in Hollywood in particular.
