The Beginning (This Article Was Originally Published in June 19, 2010)




First my thanks to the many whom have urged me to go forward.


I wrote the screenplay that the Wachowski Brothers used to create the Matrix claiming it the very same year, 1993.


I was told by a Warner Brothers exec to submit it because he said Warner Brothers was going to make it!



Read on and see the proof for yourself.


This includes the matching final scenes of the Trilogy that are posted (coming soon here.)


The Wachowski Brothers were unable to create a successful film, but showed some potential, in producer Joel Silver’s point of view, so they were handed mine. This was to heal a rift between the producer and the brothers over disagreements over their production of Bound where the brothers wanted out of the project.


Being handed mine they could do whatever they wanted – add more violence, take out the love story, and have a less sympathetic central character - the things they had been prevented from doing in Bound by Silver.


You have to have a passion for your work and I believe you will see mine is evident. It was written with layers that were all interwoven together ending in the exact scene they used to end the Trilogy - minus the final one line that tied all together. “That’s the man that pulled me out of the fire.”


Which is why the little girl is pointing at the sun, Neo’s daughter reunited with him as a seven year old little girl again, the sun representing the Christ figure.


Interesting? – Oh it gets better – and no pills are required here to look behind the liquid glass. (Which yes the liquid glass was in the original submission too!)


When you check the time line of events, the dates of the documents and their contents and see the scenes I post from the original submission requested by Warner Brothers after their response of “We are making this”, you get a sense of how blatant and brazen the theft of my screenplay by the Wachowski Brothers and Joel Silver is.


Plus you will see how they place inside jokes about how they knowingly stole the piece right in The Matrix itself and leave entire scenes and concepts intact, apparently thinking I could do nothing about it.



Read on and you will realize fully where the passions for the piece came from.


I will now etch into cyber stone the truth about the Matrix. The brothers never were outside the matrix, they were inside the often corrupt Hollywood system taking from a script that was written by me while it was divided up like used car parts among the Warner Brothers cartel.


Warner Brothers asked me to pitch it after hearing about me through a producer who was friends with Lenny Cocco, who was under the Warner Brothers label. He contacted a Vice President on my behalf upon hearing the piece in his New York home in 1992. The VP accepted it enthusiastically as revolutionary and insisted I submit it right away, which I did through an attorney of Boyd and Boyd of Norfolk, Virginia.

When received by Warner Brothers, my script was apparently given to the Wachowski brothers with Joel Silver’s blessing believing it to be unprotected. But it was, and it is. A script entitled The Immortals, that had religious names and a message for the world to introduce the concept of Christ in a exciting and palatable way.


The brothers are not believers so why would they laden a message they would refuse to explain or instead saying they would leave up to the audiences to determine the answer?


Answer – Because they did not conceive it, instead it was written by a young writer coming out of a Christian grad school. A grad school where he saw great corruption and a plan for a one world society – Pat Robertson’s CBN University (Christian Broadcasting Network University) now Regent University and his Christian coalition of so called “religious right.”


So for any of you out there whom may have questioned the missing pieces from The Matrix Trilogy, I will be able to fill in the holes for you now.


So many theories surround the blurring by the brothers of the messages originally written in the piece. The brothers clearly did not understand themselves the messages in the script so why would they explain it? As on their post they say they leave it up to audiences to determine what it meant. (They never grasped themselves the passion, layers and code within the original script).



Why has it taken me so long? A question I have asked myself as well. But I have come to realize how big this whole thing really is and the time it took for all the answers to fall into place. Now the truth is ready to be revealed and the time is certainly right. Thank you for your attention and for all who are helping me to get the truth out. I would like to help end the theft of young script writer’ works that is so common place in the industry and if I see this through I will be outspoken on their behalf as I know full well the pain of having a hard worked vision convoluted by two writers who in turn hold it up as their claim to fame.


Please leave a comment, I would love to hear your thoughts.


Thanks,


Tom
