Laurence Fishburne reveals his contribution to the look of ‘The Matrix’

Laurence Fishburne as rebel leader Morpheus has an iconic look on Tthe matrix. Now, in the recent interview, he remembers how he helped shape it.

The star begins by raving about Kym Barrett, the film’s fashion designer. “Kym Barrett did an incredible job. I mean, all the silhouettes she had, you know, they had styled them and they’re beautiful.”

His character’s futuristic appearance included a pair of sunglasses, which the John Wick The star shared at the New York Comic Con had his input in its preparation.

“In the storyboards, I call it the Morpheus mask, the glasses were on. And the guy who was making them handed me the glasses, and they had legs,” he recalls.

“And I said, ‘Those aren’t the glasses.’ He says, ‘What do you mean?’ I was like, ‘Look at the storyboard.’ There are no stems in those glasses.'”

He continues: “And he says, ‘Oh, how are we going to keep them in your face?’ I was like, ‘It’s not my problem, son. “That’s why they look like that.”

It is worth noting The matrix The franchise has three sequels, since its first film was released in 1999.
