Matrix Reloaded set cursed- another actor dies...

[APzombie]

It was earlier reported that actress Aalia died in a plane crash a couple months back, she is still missed, it is now reported that actress Gloria Foster died a week or two ago, she played The Oracle in the Matrix and was planed to appear in both sequals, she was 64 years old.
WHAT THE HELL!?!?!¿!

NOW THIS MOVIE IS PROBOBLY COMING IN 2004 or something!

Well, on with some more positive news... no i take that back; VERY VERY good news, if you couldent get more exited for the matrix sequals, there is the scoop as of some action sequences... They are using the "puke pit" for action scenes. The puke pit is the space on an aircraft that goes high enough for actors to float without having to go into outerspace! The only other movie that used this technique is Apollo 13, Ron Howards award winning film. Having this being used for the Matrix Reloaded for action scenes, I could not get more exited!

Yeah, Foster has been dead for about a month now, making her the production's second casuality.

ok, well now that thats ringed out... Does anyone know any details about this "The puke pit" technique that they are using for action sequences? IT SOUNDS FREEKIN AWSOME! I wonder how big the pit is? I mean, Apollo 13 used a very tight area, because thats the way the ship really was. But what is space limit for the Matrix Reloaded? Most likely the whole pit would be in blue screen...

Hey,

I have never heard it called the puke pit but the Vomit Comet.

It is used by NASA and the Armed Forces to train people in low G simulations.

I believe but do not quote me that the plane is a modified 727 or a jet of similar size that has all the seats removed.

It goes way way up and then dives straight down for a brief period of time. I do not think it is for more than a few minutes.

I have seen video of it and the space is very limited as you can imagine if you take a passenger jet and remove the seats, still not much room.

So if they are using it on the Matrix I would suspect they would not be doing much more than floating and doing basic moves but who knows.

Hope that helps.

Thanks
