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 Bros. 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
crazyness. can't wait for the new matrix(s)!!!!!!!!
I sure hope he put a clause in that contract that if they do get a return of investment on those movies that he gets a cut of the box office
38 mil isn't anything to just throw away!!

I can't wait to see the others. Matrix isOne of my favorites.
I don't like all the copycat films now using all the moves and effects the matrix used. Now the new ones won't seem very "special" because everyone else is doing similar scenes. But maybe they will pull it off.
let alone the other 2 ... GZ you can watch the movies to cover for my share
