Editing The Matrix Reloaded (section)

===Filming===
''The Matrix Reloaded'' was mostly filmed at [[Fox Studios Australia|Fox Studios]] in [[Australia]]. Filming began on March 1, 2001 and ended on August 21, 2002, concurrently with the filming of the second sequel, ''[[The Matrix Revolutions|Revolutions]]'' and the live-action footage for the ''[[Enter the Matrix]]'' video game. The [[freeway]] chase and "Burly Brawl" scenes were filmed at the decommissioned [[Naval Air Station Alameda]] in [[Alameda, California]]. The producers constructed a 1.5-mile freeway on the old runways specifically for the film. Some portions of the chase were also filmed in [[Oakland, California]], and the tunnel shown briefly is the [[Webster Tube]], which connects Oakland and Alameda. Some post-production editing was also done in old aircraft hangars on the base. The city of [[Akron, Ohio]] was willing to give full access to [[Ohio State Route 59|Route 59]], the stretch of freeway known as the "Innerbelt", for filming of the freeway chase when it was under consideration. However, producers decided against this as "the time to reset all the cars in their start position would take too long".<ref name=job>{{cite web |url=http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4021949&src=News |title=Chasing the Stars: Carmakers in Movies |publisher=MSN.com |first=Ann |last=Job |access-date=2005-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050306233023/http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4021949&src=News |archive-date=March 6, 2005 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[General Motors]] was hired to donate over 300 cars to be used during production, destroying them for the sake of creating art.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motorbiscuit.com/300-gm-cars-completely-destroyed-during-matrix-reloaded-highway-chase-scene/|title=Over 300 GM Cars Were Completely Destroyed During 'The Matrix Reloaded' Highway Chase Scene|date=March 10, 2022|access-date=July 5, 2022|archive-date=May 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518041436/https://www.motorbiscuit.com/300-gm-cars-completely-destroyed-during-matrix-reloaded-highway-chase-scene/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[MythBusters]]'' would later reuse the Alameda location in order to explore the effects of a head-on collision between two semi trucks, and to perform various other experiments.
