Film 2003 caught up with Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss on set in Australia.

Film 2003: What was it like getting back together with the rest of the Matrix team?

Carrie-Anne Moss: It was brutal to end the first Matrix, it took me months to get over it. But coming back together as a team happened very gradually. It started out as actors getting together training, we started in San Francisco so we had time to get to know a San Francisco crew, and we've been here [in Australia] for eight months, so it's even more intense, it's going to be brutal to say goodbye. But at the same time I think I'm going to be happy to say goodbye - I've played this part for a long time and I love it so much but it'll be nice to hang up my PVC and walk away from Trinity for the rest of my life!

What is it like getting back into the character of Trinity?

It's trippy and it's weird and it's not even anything intellectually I could explain to you. It's not even something I'm aware of - people around me are more aware of it, and even just getting into the character again, physically I start to change and my whole vibe and energy change, as I'm training. Then when we're shooting and I put the glasses and the outfit on and I'm her! And I take them off and I'm not her, but I still kind of am her... and... who am I?! It's actor angst!

It's a very demanding role physically...

It was much harder this time. Because I knew what to expect. Last time I was just so glad to be there, and this time it was "oh no, I know what my body's going to feel like next week". We're talking about training to an extent that any time I sat down - and I would see it with Keanu and Laurence and Hugo, we were all experiencing the same thing - if I was to sit down to have dinner and I wanted to get up to go to the restroom, I would have to stand for a few seconds because I couldn't walk! Because my knees would be so sore. While we were fighting, there wasn't a moment that went by when I didn't physically ache, for almost a year really. And that's tough to go through, it's hard on your body and it's hard on you emotionally. It's great to see the finished product but while you're doing it it's really hard. I broke my leg, I think Keanu did something to his ankle, Laurence's wrist, I think Hugo has been injury-free. I've had a lot of bruises, a lot of aches and pains but I'm fine now.

What kind of reaction do you get from fans of the movie?

I've had nothing but positive - "Oh you're the girl from "The Matrix" - cool!" Little boys, little girls, men, women, I haven't had any weird things I don't think - not that I remember, although I may be blocking it out! Just people who like Trinity and like the movie.
