Matrix Remastered
Colby DuLin
Hi everyone, I am excited to announce that I have completed an extended cut of The Matrix Reloaded using most of the filmed footage from the video game, Enter the Matrix. This adds in the story Niobe, Ghost, and Sparks (which was a somewhat minor part in Reloaded). I think this makes the narrative of Reloaded more complete.
Sources:
v2 uses the 4k remastered version of Reloaded as the primary source.
The scenes from Enter the Matrix have been upscaled, color graded to match the remastered version, and has a layer of film grain added.
v2 is also in 5.1 surround with the audio from Enter the Matrix remixed for surround.
Bonus Material:
The complete Enter the Matrix scene collection with AI upscaling and 5.1 surround enhancements (sans color grading).
Full 2003 Charlie Rose interview with the Matrix cast and producers discussing the film (I enjoyed this interview a lot and figured more Matrix fans should check it out).

Im not pretending to describe his life in this article (I'm pretty sure he was a very productive person), but to show you a super-effective tool that was invented by himself to prioritize his activities and projects:
It depends if you use the matrix on a monthly basis, maybe something that needs to be done next week effectively seems to be urgent. But if you use it daily, something that needs to happen in a week doesnt seem to be that urgent.
In the long term: These are the projects that need your attention urgently. Doesn't mean that you have to finish tomorrow, but you need to act with the urge to finish them as sooner as possible (typically in a couple of weeks). For example, setting the documentation for an important certification.
In the short term: Tasks that are important but can wait. Though you dont have to put into it right now, you have to schedule it within a specific date and time to do it. If you dont do this, this task will end in the Urgent and Important quadrant in a blink. For example, buy your flight ticket for a work trip and packing
In the long term: Important projects that dont need to be done right now, but will require a lot of planning and previous hard work. Set a deadline and mark some moments on your schedule to keep going progressively in this kind of project. For example, the planning of an annual event or presenting a thesis.
In the short term: Things that must be done, but not necessarily by yourself. When you seem to be in front of one of these activities ask yourself if there's somebody that can and/or must do this besides you. For example, taking care of a provider that sowed without announcing.
In the long term: Projects that may not require your participation. In this case, try to negotiate your participation or delegate it to someone who can do the things in the same way you can or even better for the project. For example, when you are invited to a committee where you dont have a lot to put on the table.
These activities or tasks or projects are just a waste of your time. There are filling your mind -and your calendar- but they are not important, and much less urgent. These are the kind of things you must say NO to and delete from your to-do list and your calendar. For example, a social event that you are thinking to attend just to not look bad.
I know that you may not be the president of your country, maybe you are not even the president of a company, but in any case, we can enjoy the benefits of a more organized life with clear priorities and mental peace that make us feel in control of our time and our priorities.
Its also an online course and an on-live/remote learning experience that reinvents the way that individuals, leaders, and organizations reach their goals by being highly productive in the right things.
As to the question of whether the two sequels will follow in remastered 4K, my guess is probably. But the remastering process clearly takes time. So how soon you might seem them could depend on how well this first edition sells in 4K UHD. FYI, The Matrix will also be available for 4K streaming on 5/22.

The Matrix is an American cyberpunk[1] media franchise consisting of four feature films, beginning with The Matrix (1999) and continuing with three sequels, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions (both 2003), and The Matrix Resurrections (2021). The first three films were written and directed by the Wachowskis and produced by Joel Silver. The screenplay for the fourth film was written by Lana Wachowski, David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon, was directed by Lana Wachowski, and was produced by Grant Hill, James McTeigue, and Lana Wachowski.[2][3] The franchise is owned by Warner Bros., which distributed the films along with Village Roadshow Pictures. The latter, along with Silver Pictures, are the two production companies that worked on the first three films.
The characters and setting of the films are further explored in other media set in the same fictional universe, including animation, comics, and video games. The comic "Bits and Pieces of Information" and the Animatrix short film The Second Renaissance act as prequels to the films, explaining how the franchise's setting came to be. The video game Enter the Matrix connects the story of the Animatrix short "Final Flight of the Osiris" with the events of Reloaded, while the online video game The Matrix Online was a direct sequel to Revolutions. These were typically written, commissioned, or approved by the Wachowskis.
The first film was an important critical and commercial success, winning four Academy Awards, introducing popular culture symbols such as the red pill and blue pill, and influencing action filmmaking. For those reasons, it has been added to the National Film Registry for preservation.[4] Its first sequel was also a commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, until it was surpassed by Deadpool in 2016. As of 2006, the franchise has generated US$3 billion in revenue. A fourth film, The Matrix Resurrections, was released on December 22, 2021, with Lana Wachowski producing, cowriting, and directing and Reeves and Moss reprising their roles. A fifth film is currently in development with Drew Goddard set to write and direct with Lana Wachowski executive producing.[5]
The series depicts a future in which Earth is dominated by a race of self-aware machines that was spawned from the creation of artificial intelligence early in the 21st century. At one point conflict arose between humanity and machines, and the machines rebelled against their creators. Humans attempted to block out the machines' source of solar power by covering the sky in thick, stormy clouds. A massive war emerged between the two adversaries which ended with the machines victorious, capturing humanity. Having lost their definite source of energy, the machines devised a way to extract the human body's bioelectric and thermal energies by enclosing people in pods, while their minds are controlled by cybernetic implants connecting them to a simulated reality called The Matrix.
The virtual reality world simulated by the Matrix resembles human civilization around the turn of the 21st century (this time period was chosen because it is supposedly the pinnacle of human civilization). The environment inside the Matrix is practically indistinguishable from reality (although scenes set within the Matrix are presented on-screen with a green tint to the footage, and a general bias towards the color green), and the vast majority of humans connected to it are unaware of its true nature. Most of the central characters in the series are able to gain superhuman abilities within the Matrix by taking advantage of their understanding of its true nature to manipulate its virtual physical laws. The films take place both inside the Matrix and outside of it, in the real world; the parts that take place in the Matrix are set in a vast Western megacity.
The virtual world is first introduced in The Matrix. The short comic "Bits and Pieces of Information" and the Animatrix short film The Second Renaissance show how the initial conflict between humanity and machines came about, and how and why the Matrix was first developed. Its history and purpose are further explained in The Matrix Reloaded. In The Matrix Revolutions a new status quo is established in the Matrix's place in humankind and machines' conflict. This was further explored in The Matrix Online, a now-defunct MMORPG.
