Actors considered and consulted about playing Neo:
- Johnny Depp, Fee: $1 million, Ultimately fell out of the running due to lack of interest.
- Brad Pitt, Fee $10 million, Felt queasy about making a special-effects movie after flop Cool World.
- Ewan McGregor, Fee: relatively low, Trainspotting junkie was the big favourite of the Wachowski's.
- Tom Cruise, Fee: astronomical, Touted as a possible 'cos always considered for everything.
- Leonardo Dicaprio, Fee: under $10 million, Didn't want to do another special-effects flick after Titanic.
- Will Smith, Fee: $15 million, Wanted Neo to have too many girlfriends, tell too many jokes.
- David Duchovny, Fee: $2 or $3 million, Decided to show loyalty to X Files creator Chris Carter and make The X Files The Movie instead.
- Keanu Reeves, Fee $10 million, The last and final choice..."
It also goes on to say who was in the running for Trinity and Morpheus:
Heh...Will Smith.

As long as they didn`t choose Leonardo Di Caprio.... (Which I thank the
lord for). Im happy....... But, It`s all about personality and characters that have to fit with the script and thats what It`s all about...... (I might be straying off the point a little here though....).
Everyone on that list > Keanu Reeves

Ah, Reeves isn`t that bad...... I`ve seen worse actors...... Examples:
Steven Segal < Revees
Leonardo D-caprio < Reeves
(Just two, but I have more....).
I'm trying to picture Tom Cruise as Neo.

If that reevues guy is a bad actor why they offer 10 million?

He`s not..... (Not in my opinion anyway....). I like him, because he doesn`t try to overplay, he feels more natural and doesn``t really pretend to be something he`s not.... ( I mean personality wise of course! , I mean i doubt that he is humanities last hope agains the machines in reality.......).
By the way did you guys knwo that he`s Supermans little brother..... (I am not joking.....)
:queer:
I think Tom Cruise could of made a good Neo ... but Will Smith? That would of been weird.

I still think Reeve`s wa sht eman for the job, in my opinion, i mean, sure there would be other good actors who could do it, but i doubt much better!
(Besides for a change it`s good to have new less famous actors in big movies, like they did in the lord of the rings......).
(They don`t have to be popular actors, just good ones.....).

I don't what the hell is up with people bashing Keanu Reeves' acting in that movie. He's SUPPOSED to be like that. That's Neo's character. If you actually watch other movies with him in it you'll see that the guy isn't emotionless, and he can act.
EDIT: Moved.

I agree with Blaksmoke. Neo's character was supposed to be like that. I never thought he was a horrible actor...except for maybe in Little Buddha. That movie sucked.
I think either Tom Cruise or David Duchovny would've been interesting to see..

It would have been funny to see Will Smith and Lawrence Fishburn doing homey talk, he should have taken his character from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
