Warner Bros. enlists most of the Matrix trilogy"s original cast to lend their likenesses and voices to the MMORPG.
Give the movies guys credit. The boys from Warner Bros. are doing all they can to send the upcoming Matrix game, The Matrix Online, into the world with some solid legs under it. In announcing that Lawrence "Morpheus" Fishburne would participate in the game by lending his voice-acting skills, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Senior Vice President Jason Hall philosophized as follows: "Since The Matrix Online is the legitimate continuation of the Matrix storyline, we felt that it was imperative to preserve character continuity between this game and the films as much as possible."
To that end, and in the spirit of "capturing the authenticity of the Matrix films", gamers can expect the likenesses and voices of most of the trilogy"s cast to surface in the game: Lawrence Fishburne appears as Morpheus, Monica Bellucci as Persephone, Mary Alice as The Oracle, Lambert Wilson as The Merovingian, Harold Perrineau Jr. as Link, Harry Lennix as Locke, Nona Gaye as Zee, Collin Chou as Seraph, and Tanveer Atwal as Sati.
