Star Power in The Matrix Online

Stars of The Matrix film trilogy to lend their faces and voices to The Matrix Online

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and SEGA have confirmed that talent from The Matrix film series will appear on the massively multiplayer online game, The Matrix Online.

Actors from the film series are lending their likenesses and vocal talents to the game, including: Fishburne (Morpheus), Bellucci (Persephone), Alice (The Oracle), Lambert Wilson (The Merovingian), Harold Perrineau Jr. (Link), Harry Lennix (Lock), Nona Gaye (Zee), Collin Chou (Seraph) and Tanveer Atwal (Sati). Don Davis, who composed the film trilogy?s music, is providing scoring chores.

Scheduled to launch January 18, 2005, The Matrix Online will enable tens of thousands of players to immerse themselves in the futuristic virtual world depicted in the popular film trilogy. Developed by Monolith Productions, the game will recreate the look and feel of the films, right down to the ?wire fu? combat system, and will offer players tons of missions, robust social interaction, and fully customizable skills and abilities.

"Since The Matrix Online is the legitimate continuation of the Matrix storyline, we felt that it was imperative to preserve character continuity between this game and the films as much as possible," said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "On Jan 18th 2005, the Matrix storyline will resume right where it left off, and players will see, hear and ultimately interact with familiar characters while they make gameplay decisions that can become permanent legend in the storyline of the Matrix."
