The Wachowskis were keen that all involved understood the thematic background of the movie.
He stated that since Ghost in the
Shell had gained recognition in America, the Wachowskis used it as a"promotional tool.
Choreographer Yuen Woo-ping
did not want to work on the film, and in order to dissuade the Wachowskis, asked for an exorbitant fee.
Producer Joel Silver has stated that the Wachowskis first described their intentions for The Matrix by showing him that anime
and saying,"We wanna do that for real.
He later adds that if the Wachowskis had wanted to protest about what was going on in the United States,
then they should have used a political narrative that directly addressed the issues of the USA, similar to what Moore had done before with Britain.
