World Exclusive: Matrix Sexual Revolutions

As a blockbuster with as much navel gazing as gravity defying action, the Matrix trilogy invites a lot of questions about its inherent religious themes and social commentary. So given the opportunity to sit down with the key cast members and producer Joel Silver, Empire seized the chance to ask the question plaguing the minds of fans and critics alike: where is it better to bump uglies, in the Matrix or in the real world? Despite Laurence Fishburne's claims that "People don't have sex in the Matrix." Joel Silver confirmed Empire's belief that getting jiggy is one of the few advantages of living in a world where anything is physically possible. But as one half of the trilogy's hottest couple, Carrie Anne Moss is the one to deliver the verdict. So who really floats her boat; Neo with his slick good looks, superhuman powers and expensive wardrobe or his alter ego Thomas Anderson with his distressed knitwear, pasty complexion and unsightly hole in the back of his skull? 'Oh my god you're killing me,' laughs a somewhat taken aback Moss. 'This relationship is about something so beautiful and deep and gorgeous, but I love your take. It never crossed my mind. 'Maybe I would have played it differently,' she added. 'Sex in the real world is the most beautiful thing in the world.' Even with the Matrix world's capacity to realise anything your filthy mind can conjure? Moss pauses briefly before answering, one eyebrow raised heavenward, 'I guess that depends on your taste.'
