Matrix Cast Additions

Harold Perrineau ("Oz") and Daniel Bernhardt ("Mortal Kombat: Conquest") have been added to the cast of the next two installments of "The Matrix" franchise for Warner Bros./Village Roadshow Pictures and producer Joel Silver. The first of the sequels is slated to start production this month in Australia with Larry and Andy Wachowski at the helm. The third installment is scheduled to be shot immediately afterward. The story lines for both "Matrix" sequels are being kept under tight wraps, though it is known that Bernhardt will play bad-guy agent Johnson.
