"A helicopter will buzz downtown Sydney during the filming of The Matrix Reloaded next month for what is expected to be one of the most complicated aerial stunts ever filmed, the Australian Daily Telegraph newspaper reported. The stunt for the sequel will take at least two days to film, the newspaper reported.

The helicopter will fly below rooftop level in what insiders told the newspaper is the climactic scene of The Matrix Reloaded. The scene will be shot over at least one, and possibly two, weekends in July.

Details of the stunt are being closely guarded, with directors Larry and Andy Wachowski fearing other studios could steal their ideas. Most of the streets surrounding the stunt will be closed to the public, the paper reported."

More complicated then the one from Swordfish? I heard that was pretty hard and actually blocked off downtown for 3 hours or so to fly the bus around.

BELOW rooftop level. This should be intresting to see. Can't wait!
