New 'Matrix' video game blurs lines

A movie about machines creating an alternate reality for enslaved humanity is turned into a video game that draws the pretty and the powerful from the movie business to a lavish party to be amused by machines.
Virtual reality meets Hollywood.
"Enter the Matrix," the most ambitious effort yet to marry high-powered Tinseltown talent with high-tech video game production, was given a red carpet premiere this week by French games publisher Infogrames and movie studio Warner Bros., part of AOL Time Warner, CNN's parent company.
The game and the next two "Matrix" films -- "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" -- are virtually one and the same, since Larry and Andy Wachowski, who wrote and directed the movies, also wrote the game and shot an hour of original footage with the cast of the films just for it.
