'Matrix' Actor Marcus Chong Sues Over Tank Role
Mon May 19, 2003 08:19 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Marcus Chong has sued the makers of "The Matrix" for allegedly reneging on a promise to recast him as a freedom fighter in the 1999 sci-fi thriller's two sequels.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Warner Bros. and parent company AOL Time Warner and the film's producers of breaching their 1998 oral agreement and a 2000 contract to revive his character, Tank, in the two sequels, and of slandering him.
Chong, 35, also accused the filmmakers of "intentionally publishing numerous false statements ... that he was a terrorist," and of conspiring to blackball him in Hollywood.
A bail receipt document posted on a fan Web site shows that Chong was arrested on Oct. 18, 2000 for allegedly making threats -- five days after his salary negotiations with the studio collapsed.
Film industry sources said the actor made repeated phone calls of a harassing nature to the filmmakers after his salary demands were not met. Tank was subsequently written out of the sequels and replaced with a character named Link.
A Warner Bros. spokesman and a spokeswoman for writer-directors Andy and Larry Wachowski declined to comment on the pending litigation.
Chong's attorney could not be reached for comment.
Released last week, "The Matrix Reloaded" enjoyed first weekend box office sales of $93.3 million -- higher than any R-rated film in U.S. history and No. 2 among all releases.
"The Matrix Reloaded" stars Keanu Reeves as a resistance fighter who battles an army of machines that seek to take control of the last human city, Zion. It will be followed in November by a third movie, "The Matrix Revolutions."
I think the movies are better without his character. The actor playing him dosen't matter his whole purpose in the movie was for that one line cypher said. " If you are the one it would take some kind of miracle to keep me from pulling this plug". Up comes tank and kills him. We are now relieved to see that he is the "one". The way i see it, if he was in the new films it would sort of take away from the whole coming back just to save neo.
well I still think he wasn't written out in a bad way or anything
it shows that eventho neo is the one ppl on the neb can still die. it gives it a bit more realism according to em

matrix was r rated? it was only rated m in australia.
our rating system is
>g (general)
>pg(parental guidance recommended for under 13s-not enforced)
>m (reccomended for over 15s-not enforced)
>ma (you have to be accompanied by someone over 15)
>r 18 (accompanied by an over 18)
how strange.
i think the sex scnene was only *just* enough to make it an m. really, it wasnt much. or maybe it just says something about aussie culture...

Feel the same, wonder if that letter was a joke, "give me so much money OR I'll do the films for free" huh? Anyway I believe he asked for too much money & the Wachowski Brothers didn't feel the need to have the Tank Charachter in the sequels because of all the newbies + didn't want to delay the making of the films over a $ issue sinse the film was supposed to be released last year, but didn't because of the Unfortuante death of Aallia (didn't spell her name right, I think)
