The Big Picture The Matrix is among the most influential science fiction films of all time, and significantly impacted the pop culture landscape upon its debut in 1999; for a brief moment, the age-old debate about “Star Wars versus Star Trek” was set aside, as The Matrix clearly had a mythology that was just as rich.
Release Date March 30, 1999 Director Lilly Wachowski , Lana Wachowski Cast Keanu Reeves , Laurence Fishburne , Carrie-Anne Moss , Hugo Weaving , Gloria Foster , Joe Pantoliano Runtime 136 minutes Brad Pitt Starred in 'Fight Club' Instead of 'The Matrix' Brad Pitt had been making consistently interesting career choices throughout the early 1990s, choosing to work with auteur filmmakers on high concept projects.
In all fairness to Pitt, not starring in The Matrix didn’t seem to negatively impact his career in a major way, as he also appeared in another classic the same year that the Wachowski sisters’ science fiction film was released. Similar to The Matrix, David Fincher’s Fight Club has become a cultural touchstone and an essential piece of modern cinema.
Will Smith's Career Rebounded After Turning Down the Role of Neo Pitt wasn’t the only high-profile star who passed on the role of Neo. Will Smith was considered for the role, as he was already coming off the widespread success of two of the most quintessential science fiction films of the 1990s with Independence Day and Men in Black.
