Steve Skroce and Geof Darrow are the comic artists working on the two Matrix movie sequels. In an interview with the Comics Continuum Web site, they said that the next two movies could outdo the first. "I've seen some footage and it's fantastic," Skroce, who is doing storyboards, told the site. "The little they've shot so far, over the last month or so, is so sweet. I would be very surprised if any of the Matrix fans aren't satisfied with the new ones."

Darrow, who is doing design work, added, "It's an incredibly coherent piece of work. It's going to be an amazing story. I'm pretty lucky to be working on it, this goofy comic book guy from Iowa."

Skroce said that the production, once again directed by the brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski, seems to be unwinding slowly. "They said it would be five-six months, and I'm going on eight. When I get done in June, it will be more like 12-13 months. They don't want anything to be hacked out. It's gotta be right before it's done quickly. I'll keep doing sketches until the shot is exactly the way [the Wachowskis] want. The movie really does come out of their brains. I'm the translator; that's how I would describe it. We go through an immense amount of detail doing the boards correctly."
