Carrie-Anne Moss, once again playing the dark and sexy role of Trinity in the upcoming The Matrix 2 and 3, told the SCI FI Wire crew that she will join the rest of the cast this week to start the intense kung fu training.

"I'm training now, and we'll start training with everybody in the middle of [this] week, and we'll train for six months, and then we'll shoot," Moss said during an interview session. The months of training will include "kung fu and whatever other action things they need us to learn, and training to get in shape, get some muscles, and get my Trinity body back," she said.

And regarding highly secretive and closely guarded plot of the two sequels, Moss said, "I can't tell you anything about them, but I'll tell you they're going to be really special."

Moss was also asked about rumors that her character will be kidnapped and have to be rescued by Neo, in which she responded, "Oh really? I don't remember reading that. I'll have to go back and read it again!"

As for the shooting schedule, Matrix 2 will begin shooting in March of the 21st century in Australia and San Francisco.

When asked about her outlook about the impending strike's effects of writers and actors strikes in the spring of 2001, which also happens to coincide with the shooting schedule, Moss said, "I'm kind of trusting that the production will take care of all of that stuff. Yeah, it's a bit of a worry. It's a worry for everybody. But it's also an important thing that has to be figured out."
