On the www.burlymanentertainment.com site (the Wachowski's editorial heaven) further "art of" books for the matrix sequels have been announced, lots of months ago, but all the time there's been only a "shortly" message, no news, except in some fansites, where Spencer  "Redeye" Lamm wrote many updats and talked about the making of these books too, he said there would be 2 books big more or less like the first one (a must have for any Matrix fans, it not only contains the full storyboard of the movie, but even concept arts, the full script, excerpts from an early draft of the scripts, deleted storyboards, all with very interesting comments).


Now, on the www.matrixfans.net fansite, a fan started a thread about him meeting with Geoff Darrow in a comic store, or something. He is the main Matrix conceptual artist, for the whole saga, but all of the hardcore comic fans here know him very well already. He is even the illustrator on "Bits and Pieces of Information", one of the first Matrix Comics written by the Wachowski themselves in 1998, on that story was based the Second Renaissance, the anime "prequel" of the matrix. Plus he now writes and illustrates the Shaoline Cowboys for Burlyman. But back to the topic...


He basically said that the project for the books is not alive anymore, since "there is no more market for this". Well, you can read more here: http://forums.matrixfans.net/showthread.php?t=26888&page=1&pp=40


We need to add your virtual "/sign" to let them know that the fandom is alive and would rather not see all that fantastic material wasted. In any way, EVERYTHING that they planned to publish must be published in a way or another, for us fans, we deserve it! Write a note here or on that thread (or both), we're trying to have some official response from Spencer Lamm who is more reliable than Darrow, probably, being the direct manager of every publication from the Wachowski world.


Tonight, let us make them remember THIS IS ZION! AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!!!!

Hmm.  I didn't even know the first book existed ... hey, no better way to show a market exists for a second book than by buying the first.


ka-ching...

Yeup, count me in. I'd like to see volume 3 of the Matrix Comics as well, not to mention the Animatrix 2.
