Which leads me to the point:
I had heard -rumors- that The Matrix was in fact based off Chris Kubasik's
story in the back of Virtual Realities (1.0, that is) - i.e. the story
about Renny and Lucifer and Dr Halberstam, et. al. I know the movie rights
to that story had been sold, prior to "The Matrix" coming out, and I'd
heard that the movie is the eventual result of constant re-writes and
concept shifts, but that it -is- based on that story. I could easily
believe that; I'm just wondering if anyone has any more accurate info?
