Note added on 8/14/07:

Yes...to all those who've been waiting patiently...I've finally finished it. In addition to the Matrix Rememory, I've now also completed a new fourth episode that expands the Matrix Trilogy beyond Matrix Revolutions.

It's sort of a prequel/sequel with a couple of real mind-benders in it. It's called Matrix 4-The Super Matrix and it can be downloaded from thesupermatrix.com.


But...

before you read Matrix 4-The Super Matrix, I highly recommend that you read Matrix Rememory. There's some great stuff in it that isn't in the new one and I think it will broaden your overall understanding of the world I'm trying to expand on. Thanks and happy reading. PD Wood

    I read the whole thing last night, and there was some very cool stuff in there! But I really don't like Merv fighting, I think that's beneath him, but besides that, I have little to no complaints, I am really looking forward to the final part!!! Great work!

      Read it all in one night? That's pretty good. Thanks for the nice comments. If that's the only complaint, I'll take it as "two thumbs up". Yes, I agree that it's beneath Merv to fight. I think if you reread it, though, you'll see that he is cornered into fighting both times. As a character building device, what these "forced encounters" do is let his opponents (and the readers of the story) know the true sophistication and development of his powers. Maybe unnecessary, I'm not sure. Makes for great action, though. Thanks again. PD Wood

      I've changed the screenplay so it can now be opened by Acrobat Reader as early as version 5. This should make it much easier to open. (I've decided to keep it in the PDF format to decrease the chances that people might change the document and post it elsewhere with those changes. I'm sure if someone really wants to do that, they could, but it would take a lot more effort.)

    This is a great recasting of the Matrix conclusion... I totally believe the transformation that Neo and Trinity make at the end, and the whole things sounds and feels like it belongs on the big screen. I really like that you have made sense of the Merovingian as a character, because it was so unclear to me in the movies. When is the rest of the "to be continued" part coming out? Nice work.

      Mesmerized, I appreciate your positive feedback. Really nice to hear. At the moment the "to be continued" part is moving towards a continuation of Matrix Revolutions instead of a continuation of Matrix Rememory. I think I can transfer many of the same elements that were set up in my story and use them as a fourth episode that could actually be made into a movie. If I were to just follow the story that was set up in Matrix Rememory, I don't think it would make it to the screen. Personally, I'd love to see a fourth movie that adds more depth to the first three. Of course, this approach makes the storyline much harder for me to work out. At the moment I'm really stuck, but I'm not giving up til I break through. Matrix Rememory took me about 8 months with revisions. I'm guessing the next installment won't be ready until the end of 2007...if I can finish it at all. I'm a perfectionist, so we'll see what happens. At the very least, I'll post what I come up with even if I don't completely finish it. Thanks again for the upbeat comments. PD Wood

    Well done,

    There are so many loose ends in the original. This brings out the characters so much better. If they had just thought it out as well as you have I think a great movie would have been a spectacular movie. I look forward to the final chapter of your story. Thanks for taking the time to explore bringing the Matrix to what it should be.

    I was genuinely gripped by this story. I thought you brought to life the style and substance of the Merovigian. It becomes their story as much as NEOs and that is good because NEO has been played out to some extent. It was great to throw some doubt on Morpheus' motivations, it's a twist that sets so much in motion.

    I liked the side directions. They really helped describe the action and suspense that you want and expect in a Matrix movie.

    While I liked the dream sequences, I think they can be a cop out from a structual standpoint that writers use when they can't work through the story in a more original way, but they seemed to work for most part.

      Sudski,

      Thanks for your very specific comments. While broad statements about liking the screenplay are welcome and appreciated, statements that target precise story areas or writing techniques are more instructive about what I need to do to make the story better. It's always hard to tell what is and isn't working until someone tells me directly--forest through the trees kind of thing, I guess. Thanks again, PD Wood.

    The dialog between smith and merovingian attempts to cover a lot of background very quickly. The viewer can become confused easily about what is being said. Also a lot of the dialog is unnecessary and may end up being edited out if it were to be filmed. (On a side note: the character of Smith is not one for lengthy conversations. In fact quite the opposite. His character tends to get straight to the point.)

    The same could be said for Neo's Unconscious Imagery scenes. While the transitions are affective at conveying a dream-like state, some of the events conflict with the "attitude" of the other movies, (the scene with Melanie, for example, when she talks about "seeing the milky way like that", and having Neo agree, is also not in his character. If you remember in the first movie, they make it a point to maintain the idea that everything he "thought" he did never really happened and by "waking-up" you would essentially be "starting over". Making a reference to "going cross-country" would not coincide with that idea). When Neo wakes up and explains his "connection" and his visions, also not in his character to do in such length, for a movie, it would be time consuming and the audience would begin to lose interest....and probably be another scene on the cutting room floor. It reminds me of the last scene in The Wizard of Oz. His character would most likely have private conversations about what he saw with Trinity or Morpheus and the end of those conversations is all that would be on film in order to let the audience know he told them. Their reaction is all that is important. These are just a few things I was thinking while reading this script.

    I must say it is very well written, however, when put into production, you may want to review all the dialog and ask yourself "Is this something that character would say or do? Is it in their personality to do this or act this way?" That's all the advice I have for now... possibly more later if you wish. Sorry for the lengthy comment....

      Thank you JJ,

      Your comments are specific, accurate, and sobering...and nicely detailed. And please don't apologize for such lengthy comments; they are exactly what I'm looking for! I have to admit that this is my first attempt at writing anything resembling a screenplay. I'm aware that much of the dialog is flabby and could stand to be pared down but knowing what is imperative to keep and what can be dropped without losing the thread of the story is hard for me to recognize. I need keen, experienced eyes and fresh readers to edit on the fly (such as you have done).

      "The dialog between smith and merovingian attempts to cover a lot of background very quickly. The viewer can become confused easily about what is being said."

      I'm definitely trying to cover a lot of background quickly in this early scene. If you can tell me what you think is superfluous, too difficult to understand, or just poorly written, I'd love to know. (In certain instances there are parts of the story that I need to keep intact because they're important to the "to be continued" part of the story which I'm working on now).

      "(On a side note: the character of Smith is not one for lengthy conversations. In fact quite the opposite. His character tends to get straight to the point.)"

      Ah yes...keeping people in character; that's one of the hardest parts for sure. I agree that Smith tends to get to the point quickly in his conversations. Despite his tendency to be brief, I've always felt that, given the opportunity, Smith is dying to get things off his mind. His monologue with Morpheus in the first Matrix (It's the smell!) suggests that he is capable of of longer discussions given the opportunity.

      "The same could be said for Neo's Unconscious Imagery scenes. While the transitions are affective at conveying a dream-like state, some of the events conflict with the "attitude" of the other movies, (the scene with Melanie, for example, when she talks about "seeing the milky way like that", and having Neo agree, is also not in his character. If you remember in the first movie, they make it a point to maintain the idea that everything he "thought" he did never really happened and by "waking-up" you would essentially be "starting over". Making a reference to "going cross-country" would not coincide with that idea)."

      The scene with Melanie is supposed to challenge the notion of everything "starting over" and push Neo to think about the fact that, no matter what experiences he's had, real or virtual, they've had an effect on him. This scene occurs in his unconsciousness, and, in that sense, I felt it could withstand some subliminal tinkering without feeling too out of character. Maybe not, though. (The interaction with Melanie also becomes important in the "to be continued" part of the story, so I'm trying to hold onto it.)

      "When Neo wakes up and explains his "connection" and his visions, also not in his character to do in such length, for a movie, it would be time consuming and the audience would begin to lose interest....and probably be another scene on the cutting room floor."

      I agree; this scene needs to be edited and tightened up.

      I hope you visit again and give me more comments. They were incredibly helpful. PD Wood

    Kudos for the effort ... and there was obviously a shit load of effort put in to this!

    But it's not really my cup of tea. Maybe it's because I'm biased towards the movie as it was written, but I just didnt like things like Mero fighting Smith. What I flat out didn't like tho was the part about Mero being a human whose real world body died ... what was that about? The Oracle states in Reloaded that the Mero is a computer program.

    Seriously tho ... I do applaud your dedication, if not the end result of said dedication.

      I think you're right...anybody who likes the movies as they are will probably have a hard time with this. But the fact that you read it all the way through is really appreciated.

      Yes, I agree that it's beneath Mero to fight. He's a man who likes fine wine and uses henchmen to do his dirty work. I think if you reread it, though, you'll see that he is cornered into fighting both times. I don't know if that makes it more acceptable.

      And the part about Mero being a human whose real world body dies...it's true, it does contradict what the Oracle said. I'm not sure how to resolve that, but the reason for it has to do with what I'm trying to write for the "to be continued" episode. As a possible justification, the Architect says many things to Neo that the Oracle then later dismisses as clueless musings, so there may be things that the Oracle says that are either incorrect or misinformed, too. Perhaps the Merovingian's true beginnings could be one of them. I've got to be careful, though; too many departures would start to break the story down unacceptably, but I think I might be able to work this one out. It's a tough one.

      Thanks again for your insights...very helpful.

    Wow, what a great story! Dense, detailed, excellent pacing, and some very vivid action scenes. It does take a bit for it to really get going, but once it does, it really develops well. I recommend that everyone read up through at least page 15 before passing judgement. Nice work, PD Wood!

    I am 15 years and I am left speechless and floored by the effort put into this work even more so due to it being "fan" fiction. Nonetheless I applaud it. It makes me feel inadequate in comparison to my writing. Now for the detailed critique..
    The pacing of scene to scene is done very cleanly and by just words has the feel of a movie manuscript, however. In certain conversations...particularly length ones after Neo's first "dream state" appear to read like an essay. In other words you used the individuals within your model to justify your plot as if the words were coming directly from your lips. This type of instance would not be attractive for a movie setting. The characters often indulge themselves in lengthy diatribes (however I did like the ones between Merovingian & Smith for some odd reason) that serve no purpose (guess you wer kinda excited) I like your version of events better and there is something about Morpheus that you are still holding back on. My final observation would be the ending. Have you ever indulged yourself in videogames? If so then if you know of the Kingdom Hearts Series in KH there is this "Birth by Sleep" model that reoccurs here when mentioning Neo in a medical room naked in a pod..with the overall feel of this story brings KH to mind. This is exactly what happend to th protagonist Sora and his posse of Donald Duck & Goofy. lol. If Neo has new memories and this whole thing is only just the beginning of something bigger and he's been in cultivation all this time it reads just like Kingdom Hearts 2.....lmaooo
    If you're really brilliant you'll make it so that all the other movies appear inconsequential to some even greater divine construct. I can...almost sense it. I'm merely rambling here myself, because I read this whole thing in one sitting and its almost 2 am! What can I say except that the Wachowski's lack your brilliance? Anyways I love this and I can't wait for your follow-up (pitch this to Joel Silver if you can

      Deus,

      You certainly made my day with your comments. That's some high praise. It definitely gives me more confidence that the final episode I'm trying to finish will be worthy of similar compliments.

      I've been trying to trim the flabbiness of a lot of the dialog and get certain parts to sound more natural. The one problem with the new episode I'm working on is that it requires a fair amount of story explanation, not unlike Matrix Rememory. I'm trying hard to let the actions and events tell the story, but it's not easy.

      Your comment about the similarity of parts of my work to a video game is surprising. I'm not a video gamer and have never heard of Kingdom Hearts, but any time there is an uncanny similarity of my work to someone elses, it makes me nervous.
      I've tried purposely to avoid checking out any other fan fiction, fan stories, or extensions related to the Matrix specifically because I don't want those sources to influence me directly or unconsciously. At least I'll continue to do so until I'm finished writing my stories.

      The new episode is being written as a direct continuation from where Matrix Revolutions left off, but it will use a lot of parts that were in Matrix Rememory because the my new episode was anticipating events in Matrix Rememory. And, YES, I want to have it made into a movie if the powers that be are willing. Otherwise, I have to escape this construct and go to the real world and pitch it there. Ha, ha!

      Thanks again. PD Wood

    After reading this story, all I have to say is, wow! It is emotional, exciting, smart and leaves the reader wanting more. If I have any suggestions about your final part of Matrix Rememory is that you have Neo visit the Machine City (Zero One). That was one of my favorite parts in Revolutions and I really hope you bring that part into your story. I think that that scene would become so much more awsome especially since Smith is destroying all the pods and having all the machines destroy each other. I really love what you have done with the Architect; he has become so much more interesting as a character. And can you give us an estimated release date for the final part? So thanks again for creating such an amazing story for us to read.

      SuperBeast,

      Thank you. Your comments are a screenplay writer's dream.

      I am working hard on the final episode and am anticipating a finish date some time in the fall if all goes well. I already have the story pretty well fleshed out. Neo doesn't visit the Machine City but I think you'll find that the surprise I'm working on is worth the wait. At least I hope it is.

      I loved what the Wachowski brothers set up with the character of the Architect. There was so much potential there. I'm glad you think I've done justice to what they initiated. He figures in pretty heavily in the final episode, too.

      The biggest problem with this final episode is how to keep the suspense and action flowing while simultaneously telling a pretty dense and sometimes technically detailed story. I hope I can bring the same emotion, smartness, and excitement to the finale.

      Thanks again for your uplifting praise. PD Wood

    A totally unexpected and a spectacularly different piece of literature. I am really bowled over by the quality of writing and the plot depth; makes many other world renowned books seem obsolete. It is extremely difficult to find anything wrong with it at all. Like Deus said, I haven't read that much fan fiction but, in terms of length and effort, this leaves the few pieces that I have read, standing. A joy to read.

    In your previous comment you said that the next episode is going to be a direct communication from where Revolutions left off. Does this mean that many of the key aspects of Rememory will be ignored (such as Smith's continuous destruction of the machines), or will it be a full sequel to your previous piece?

    Thanks, Ben.

      Ben,

      Thank you. Comments such as yours keep me feeling confident that I can finish the next episode despite the many difficulties I've been running into. I have managed to resolve some very sticky parts recently and may be close to the breakthrough I've been waiting for.

      The next episode is going to be a direct continuation from where Revolutions left off; but... many of the ideas that were started in Matrix Rememory will carry over. The new episode will answer many of the questions that Matrix Rememory posed, but the story line will not be linear. The new episode is really a story about what happened before the first Matrix movie and after the last movie, Matrix Revolutions; a prequel/sequel, I guess. I hope I can pull it off in a style that's worthy of the Wachowski brothers. Wish me luck.

    In this and in your Super Matrix story, there seems to be 2 flaws. 2 Major flaws.

    Firstly, characters or programs designed with a very specific purpose in mind (ie. The Architect), you have created to be human and emotional. It is clearly stated that the Architect is a program in Reloaded, and has no affiliation with the real world aside from knowing about it.

    Secondly, you make unnecessary connections between characters who would otherwise never meet. Ever. At least not in the way you describe, and if they did, the movies would've shown it. Morpheus and Architect? Trinity and Merovingian?

    If I were you, I would go back and really really learn the Matrix from 99, and learn the specific Path of the One, and of Zion. And then recreate a Matrix 2 and a Matrix 3.

    What I've wanted to see, was.... Morpheus says of the Agents in Matrix 1, that they "Hold all the keys, and someone will have to fight them." Well, Neo fought Smith. And deleted him. That's one down and 2 to go.

    Also, there's a Matrix 2 early early draft that you could draw some inspiration from. I especially liked Choi and Dujour being part of the Rebellion.

    You're a good writer, but you're writing doesn't have the feel of the Matrix in it.

      Jake,

      Good solid dissection. I think you may have missed my point, though. And perhaps that's because I'm not writing clearly enough or I'm not providing enough information for the reader to understand what I'm trying to convey.

      In the worlds of the Matrix, the machines and Zion, you're right, "the Architect is a program and has no affiliation with the real world (i.e. Zion and the devastated Earth) aside from knowing about it". But in my story all of these worlds are just virtual realities all contained in the Super Matrix.

      This Super Matrix is controlled by the good Architect (whose virtual counterpart in the Super Matrix is the bad Architect). They are different characters entirely, not one and the same. The good Architect exists outside of the the Super Matrix and is human and emotional; his corresponding virtual is a "program" (as stated in Reloaded) and only exists inside the Super Matrix as a logical construct. Do you see the distinction I'm trying to make?

      In the beginning of Matrix Rememory Morpheus and the Architect do come together; but that's because the Architect had to extract him temporarily from the Super Matrix to perform a medical procedure that would have been impossible while he was jacked into the Super Matrix. Their meeting doesn't happen inside the world of Zion or the Matrix where, I agree, they would probably never meet.

      And as for Trinity and the Merovingian meeting, I'm not sure which part you're talking about that seems improbable. Could you be more specific?

      The most important point about my stories is that Zion, the Matrix and the machine world are all constructs, designed to mask the real world from the machines. What's true inside those constructed worlds is not necessarily true outside of them.

      Let me know if this clarifies anything.

      Thanks, PD Wood

          Sorry,

          I guess I didn't understand you initially.

          No, I haven't made a film of either Rememory or The Super Matrix because I don't own the rights to the characters. So unless Warner Brothers or the Wachowski brothers wants to purchase the scripts, there is little chance either will ever be made into a movie. I wrote the stories for fun and for people to read them and that's as much exposure as they're liable to get.

          So enjoy them as they are...and hope for the best.

      It's been quite a while since anyone's left a comment for Matrix Rememory; six months, as a matter of fact. Most people just jump to the Super Matrix website and leave their comments there. It's nice to hear that some people are still reading this story.

      I'm glad fan fiction has done you well in this case. And if you haven't read the Super Matrix, I think you'll really enjoy it, especially with the lead-up that Matrix Rememory creates.

      Thanks again, PD Wood

    Er, excuse me for being idiotic enough to get stuck with Matrix Resurrected. I was kinda blown away and it has been a while after I went looking for more of your work and found this one. It is brilliantly written. It takes the best parts of Revolutions and Resurrected together so that you would have less explaining to do in the next part. I enjoyed it even more than Resurrected, because here the characters evolve slower and that gives enough time for the mind to realise what is going on. The characters in Resurrected seem to have taken a 180 turn straightaway, and that will hit many readers hard. And I really really really think you should write a story that continues the storyline of Rememory. I will be looking forward to it. Good luck!

      Raymond,

      Matrix Rememory laid the groundwork for Resurrected and Resurrected is almost a direct continuation of Rememory. It is the continuing story line, albeit not with the same novelistic, slower, deeper approach of Rememory.

      I really enjoyed writing Rememory and am glad you think it's so good. But the format of Rememory is really not acceptable as a screenplay. The dialogue is very drawn out, the scene description too lengthy. It may give the characters more chance to breath and the scenes more specific description, but it would be thrown into the trash instantly by script readers. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, but it's really suited more to a book or possibly a graphic novel.

      Very happy you liked it so much, though.

        Ah, you are always right, but I think your best chance of getting a movie made out of your story depends heavily on the publication of your story as a book. That's why I am asking you to write its continuation. I see that its not good as a screenplay, but has the potential for being a great book. You have little thinking to do, for Resurrected provides almost everything you are likely to write. However, you could write more on the parts you couldn't elaborate in Resurrected owing to the page limit, and modify some parts of it. The world you have created is not complete yet. I sense you have a lot more to say. I am waiting for your book, hope it comes soon.

          Raymond,

          Well, you make a good case as always. However, I'm working on other writing projects and will probably not delve into more Matrix writing until I'm finished with those. I like your line of thinking, and will pursuit it when time permits. I will also probe the book publication market to see if there's any interest.

          Thanks again, PD Wood

            Other writing projects? When and where are they coming out? I would love to read them! Anytime.
            I just can't stop myself from reading away at the Matrix stories everytime I turn my computer on. One question perplexes me though. In Rememory, you say that clones of Smith cannot clone themselves into others. In Resurrected, Marouk emerges in the Matrix as Smith and clones other agents into him. How is this possible? The original Smith can't leave the Matrix and can only send a clone copied onto a real person to the real world( I mean Zion). Or is this why you showed Zion as another matrix?
            The Wachowskis may well ignore you now, but just wait till the book(on the whole story of the Matrix and real world, not just Resurrected) comes out and see your fan base multiplying like an exponential distribution. Good luck in your quest!

              Other writing projects are probably not going to be released the way I released the Matrix stories. I have novels and screenplays which would be released through agents, publishers or movie companies. I probably would announce them to any fan base that I have, if and when they're in a form to be released. Sorry if that's a disappointment, but it would be frowned upon by people investing in my work if it was released for free or before they authorize it.

              The clone ability being restricted to the original Smith had to change for the Resurrected story; wouldn't have worked otherwise. Good work picking up on that.

              As always. thanks for all the support.

                But if Smith can clone himself as usual, then Neo junior is going to have the same problem as his father. It would be like a sort of 'The Matrix Trilogy Reloaded' again and again, and I imagine it would be pretty boring. Why not take his cloning power away? That would open up a good chance of finishing Smith for good and the story as well, with Neo junior joining his father in the real world.
                I will be waiting for your work in whatever form its available to me. Good job and keep going on. You will be a great one someday.

                  I'm sure the machines could find a way to put the brakes on Smith, if the story required it. Or maybe Neo goes in and breaks up the party. Who knows. The story has endless possibilities. And lots of room for the imagination.

      Raymond,

      This kind of thing can drag along forever; it's kind of like pursuing a legal case. There always seems to be something imminent about to happen and then it gets put on hold. It's particularly hard in this case because for anything to happen with my story, rights to the material have to be secured ( I don't own them). 

      As of right now, it looks like things are indefinitely on hold, but probably, more likely, the possibility has fallen through. I may try another avenue, but at the moment, I'm a bit burnt out on it. 

      Your enthusiasm is refreshing but it doesn't get the thing published or the movie made. I promise if something real materializes, I will post the information immediately on my sites. That you can be sure of.

    Humm... interesting,

    So this is basically an unofficial fourth matrix film?

    Thanks

      William,

      Actually, Matrix Rememory is a revised version of Revolutions; I created it in an attempt to set up a fourth episode, Matrix Resurrected, which you can check out at matrixresurrected.com. And, yes, both are unofficial.

      Hope you like 'em.

    Hey, that was interesting,

    If somebody made an alternate film version that would be so great,

    Keep up the good work

      William,

      Thanks for reading it. Glad you enjoyed.

      I'm more hoping that the Matrix Resurrected story gets made. I think that one really pulls everything together.
