First, some breaking news, if you haven’t heard already:

Hugo Weaving was asked to play Agent Smith in "Matrix 4".

And now, some heartbreaking news:

…

…..

…...

….Hugo Weaving declined.

You heard right. Hugo Weaving won’t be in "Matrix 4”. Due to some schedule challenges, he said. Will be be in a London theatre play, he said.

Somehow I have difficulty to believe that….

Hugo Weaving either:
- dosen’t want to reprise his Agent Smith role
- dosen’t belive in the "Matrix 4” movie (remember, “Cloud Atlas” was not a blockbuster….)
- dosen’t want to get in shape for the "Matrix 4” movie (he is 60 years old…)

So, it means:
- "Matrix 4” will still have Agent Smith in it, somehow, maybe a CGI
- "Matrix 4” won’t have have Agent Smith in it, due to Hugo Weaving’s decline

This is so thrilling… and a bit heartbreaking.

I truly hope that the “Matrix” universe won't turn into prequels, sequels, spin-offs, stupid stand-alone series on Netflix/Disney/HBO/Amazon (image a stand-alone series “Matrix Agents”… hmmmm… or “Zion Rebels”…. )

I truly hope that they won’t milk the “Matrix” universe until there is nothing left to milk….

And regarding milking…

Ermm…

It’s time to reawaken your Smith fanfics. They are awesome. Your loyal fans are waiting.

Please start writing again. Please…..

KuranKaname001,

Your rudeness does not surprise me. Not one bit.

You are, after all, a mere human. You are a pointless, pathetic and small individual, deprived of any meaning and purpose. Your life, however, is used to support ours. Soon, you will be replaced by other crops, and thus there is no meaning to your existence - and never has been. Congratulations.

Zaerith Vrinn, on other hand, is doing a very fair job documenting my endeavors with Miss Edwards. It is pleasing to see how our, if I may... relationship is portrayed. Well done, Miss Vrinn. Looking forward to see more of your excellent work.

/Smith

This is a really good story. Quite well written and a good read. Sad though :'(

Possessive Smith is so sexy omg!

This is great. :)

My heart hurts. I wanted them together. Great story.

YOU BITCH YOU FOOL, HOW DARE YOU DO THIS! THAT LAST CHAPTER WAS HORRIBLE, AND THE EPILOGUE WORSE IF THATS EVEN POSSIBLE, YOU TRULY DO NOT A HAVE HEARTH NOR A SOUL, LIKE YOU ARE NOT A NICE PEOPLE, YOUR HORRIBLE, AND JUST LIKE THE CREATOR AND WRITER OF AN ANIME CALLED VAMPIRE NIGHT :HINO MOTO OR HIRO MOTO WHATEVER HIS NAME IS, YOU SUCK, BUT REALLY SUCK AT WRITE GOOD CONCLUSIONS OR THE "END" FOR YOUR FUCKING STORY. I REALLY HOPE YOU GO TO LAST RING OF HELL. BYE BYE BITCH

Thanks for finally posting this! It was worth the wait (well, I only discovered this story in February, so maybe I'm not a leading authority in waiting).

Good look at Smith formally making his choice. Maybe he recognized Trinity at the beginning of the movie, and purposefully spends long enough revving the trucks engine so she can escape.

I like how post-reprogramming check-up is similar to a concussion test!

From start to finish, I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

please update this story please I love this story it's one of the best stories I've read on here.

Oh, come on! It's been 2 years, and still no epilogue. THIS. NEEDS. AN. EPILOGUE. Please, please, please?-!
I've never gotten so lost in a Matrix fanfic before as I have with this one. Excellent character development, plot devices, and all.
I'm resisting the urge to write a short dialogue of Trinity and Smith in this review, where they would voice their input on the subject of an epilogue. But I won't.
Still tempting, though. Anyway, your story is very well done. I very much enjoyed reading it.
Oh, and was that a Doctor Who reference a few chapters back? (I see what you did there. Haha.)

This was amazing. I will never watch "The Matrix" the same way again. And if you ever get around to that epilogue, I'd appreciate it.

You nailed the Oracle's character.

Trinity's free! I can't wait to see how she reacts to everything, especially finding out she's now supposed to be against the Agents.

I appreciate the clear boundaries in their relationship. It wouldn't ring quite as true if Smith changed so suddenly from a human-hating program to a program happily in a fully physical relationship with a human.

I can't wait to see what Trinity will do. And I want to find out more about Debra Michaels.
