Carrie-Anne: Hi! I'm happy to be here. Thanks for talking with me.

Bobk: Tell us a little bit about your involvement with the upcoming "Matrix" sequels. And what your feelings are about "The Matrix" being a trilogy?

Carrie-Anne: I'm so excited about the prospect of doing two more "Matrix" films. I don't know anything about the scripts yet. But I'm so excited about playing Trinity again.

Sfcarl: How physically demanding was the role of Trinity?

Carrie-Anne: It was extremely demanding. We trained as a team: Keanu, Lawrence, Hugo, and myself. We trained for six months with a wire team from Hong Kong led by Wo Ping. It was so challenging, but incredibly fulfilling.

Ebullient: What was it like to work with two directors, and brothers, no less?!

Carrie-Anne: Larry and Andy Wachowski are two of the greatest men I have ever met. As directors, they were a joy to work with. And having them both direct me became so normal. It became so normal to have two directors.

Wrygrass: Any funny moments to share from filming "The Matrix?"

Carrie-Anne: Oh! Such a hard question to answer. There were so many funny moments that to try to go back and look at specifics, I'm not very good at that. So no, there were lots of them, but I can't remember ones to talk about.

DigitalSelf: What does the name, Trinity, symbolize in the movie?

Carrie-Anne: It symbolizes a lot of different things. It symbolizes the Holy Trinity, being part of the energy of three, Morpheus, Neal, and myself. And it can mean whatever you want it to mean.

Trinity99: Hi Carrie-Anne! You were awesome as Trinity! Do you have any future projects lined up besides “The Matrix” sequels?

Carrie-Anne: Thank you so much for the compliment! I have just done a couple of movies. I did a comedy called, "The Crew," an independent movie called, "Memento," and I'm currently shooting a movie called, "The Red Planet."

Anne-marie: Are there any famous actors/actresses you would like to work with?

Carrie-Anne: There are so many that I couldn't begin to name them all!

Amarie Anch: Can you tell us something about your new character on "Red Planet?" How similar is she to Trinity?

Carrie-Anne: She's totally different. She is the captain of the first manned mission to Mars.

Digital Self: Have you completed filming "Red Planet?" And when will it be released?

Carrie-Anne: I'm still shooting the movie, and I believe it will be released in June, 2000.

Tardis: What was it like shooting "Red Planet," another Science-Fiction Thriller, right after "The Matrix?"
