‘The Matrix’ director Lilly Wachowski has revealed the movie was a "last-ditch, Hail Mary part of the deal" with Warner Bros.
The 57-year-old filmmaker - who helmed the iconic 1999 action movie and its two sequels ‘The Matrix Reloaded’ and ‘The Matrix Revolutions’ with her sister Lana Wachowski, 59 - explained the film was greenlit after a Warner Bros. executive begged the directing pair to make it in an effort to save their job.
