She wrote a book and they took her ideas from her book (written in the 80's) so she sued them and won the case. The interview is kinda long tho

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4TQg-1LWY4]Sophia Stewart [Mother of the Matrix] on Veritas Radio | The Third Eye: Where It All Begins... - YouTube[/ame]

Turns out that she wrote the concept of the Matrix based on religion

John Connor is Jesus Christ
Neo is the second coming of Jesus (when he comes back)
Neo - Nanogram(sp) for "The One"
Matrix - Latin for "The Womb"
ect...

Very interesting :ohhh:

Well, you can see why the first Matrix was the best and it was down hill from there.

This story is like 10 years old breh, shyt been disproven mad times. I think the dumb Lady didn't bother to file court papers in time, so she didn't get her day in court.

She didn't win anything. In fact, she failed to show up to court on the days the lawsuit was going to begin. Sounds like she really cared about her ideas. :thumbsdown:

This is old news. It was kind of sad how yet again white people steal things from black people. I was hoping for her to one day create a new movie script for an action flick. She had evidence and proof to back up her claim. But of course white people hate to admit that 2 white men stole a successful movie franchise from a black woman. All of the characters in both The Matrix and Terminator were suppose to be black.....

How has it been disproven? Why would someone lie about something like this? Only reason why she couldnt win was because she didnt get the stories copy-written. Plus who is going to believe an unknown black woman over 2 white male movie producers?

didn't know

this saddens me the most...if this is true. Kinda how every picture of Jesus you see is white blond hair blue eyes.

I can imagine in the future people will say that white people originated hip hop. Eminem being the 'Elvis' of hip hop and pioneered a new style of music.

:dwillhuh: :usure:

It was disproven that she won some big settlement. Mad internet links have reported that over the years. Her claims may have been legit, but the chick was a kook who refused to follow up on things in a responsible manner.

On the way to the courthouse she was blindsided by a van that then fled the scene.
