''Matrix Reloaded'' trailer available exclusively in QT
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

Nothing exciting on your plate this weekend? Dig into QuickTime for some of the best
programming available on the small screen
Warner Bros has posted a "teaser trailer" (640 x 288, largest size) for Matrix
Reloaded, which is scheduled for release in 2003.
Given that the third installment of the triology by Larry and Andy Wachowski, Matrix
Revolutions, is being film concurrently with Reloaded and that both films are
scheduled for release next year, it''s possible that some of the scenes in the trailer
are from both pictures - not likely, but possible.
Also, being a fan (i.e. hungry for more of the story) led me to discover the excellent
comics available on Warner Bros'' well-done Matrix fan site (accessible via the link
above). Stories and illustrations by movers and legends such as Paul Chadwick, David
Lapham, Greg Ruth, Troy Nixey and Dave Gibbons offer serious as well as lighter takes
on the mythos growing up around the film and the world it brought to life.
Other great QT programming
And now for something completely different -- a WBGH (PBS) program entitled Commanding
Heights, which documents how the economic system evolved to become what it is today,
is available in QT format -- here.
It''s a rather fascinating tale on the merits of the streamed video alone, but the
interactive links included in its presentation are truly tremendous. They add
additional substance and background to a complex story.
I''ve watched several streamed WBGH documentaries and I feel their use of QT is among
best and most thorough-going anywhere. Great quality video and a full use of the
interactive elements that make QuickTime one of the best ways to get lost in the Web.
Spam you''ll enjoy
As with many of the excellent QT-streamed programs -- commercial and public -- that
I''ve enjoyed over the years, I learned about Commanding Heights via Apple''s weekly
QuickTime News spamletter. You can subscribe here
