Reloaded Role Suits Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith, who stars as Niobe in the upcoming sequel film The Matrix Reloaded, told SCI FI Wire that writer/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski wrote the part specifically for her. “They did, actually,” she said in an interview. “I met the Wachowskis for the first Matrix. … So when two and three came around, they basically said, ‘We have this character that we created for you, Niobe. Only problem is that you’re nine months pregnant.’ So they worked it out so that it could work for me, which I’ll be forever grateful for.”
Smith plays the captain of the hovercraft Logos, who plays a key role in the sequel and the third movie, The Matrix Revolutions. Niobe is also the central character in the upcoming video game, Enter the Matrix. Smith said she was in Australia shooting footage for the two movies and the video game for nearly a year. Niobe appears in a few scenes in Reloaded and plays a larger role in Revolutions.
“I’m getting kind of a better gauge after seeing [Reloaded],” Smith said. “There are some things that I thought were in this movie that weren’t, and some things that I thought weren’t going to be in this movie that were in this movie. I’m not clear. I’ve got to see the video-game movie. Because you have to understand, we have three different scripts going on, so I’m not sure where they’re putting stuff. They’re spreading stuff around.” Reloaded opens on May 15.
