Generous actor Keanu Reeves has sacrificed a massive $38 million to prevent the two new Matrix films being scrapped. The Speed hunk gave up his claim to a cut of the films' ticket sales when producers began fearing the box office would not cover the costs of making the special effects-laden flicks. The gesture is one of the most generous ever in Hollywood and has stunned studio bosses. A Warner Brothers insider says, "The special effects in the new movie are beyond belief - but hugely expensive." "There was a real danger the projects would be scrapped until Keanu offered to sign away his cut. He has kissed goodbye to a huge sum of money." Keanu was paid $10 million for the first Matrix movie in 1999 and picked up a further $35 million as his cut of worldwide box office sales.

Everybody say with me : Thank you Keanu!!!

i seriously doubt this is true..... The Matrix sequels are so highly anticipated i would think that when reloaded comes out it should top spiderman's box office take.


these two sequels are probably goign to be some of hte highest grossing films in 2003.

Sounds like BS to me. I don't think Warner Bros. would consider money for those films especially considering how much they sunk in a piece of shit like "Pluto Nash."

True or false, I can't wait to see these films.

I don't think it's the takings that are the issue, it's the fact the special effects are so expensive the takings wouldn't cover the cost of the film.

If it's true, nice one Keanu!

I am soooooooooooooooooooo excited about this. The Matrix is my favorite film of all time.
I'm also really looking forward to T3
