Maybe we don't live in the worst possible universe. Madonna and Will Smith in the Matrix, everybody using the Hulk Hogan Grill, Stallone as Axel Foley, OJ as the Terminator. I guess I'm ok with where we are now.

We'd probably be talking about different awesome movies with actors we've currently never heard of!

I have no particular hate for Madonna, but even as someone who watched the movies she did do when they were new, I am doubtful that Madonna would have made the Matrix better.

Who was she supposed to play here? Trinity?

Edit: read the article, yes, Trinity.

Absolutely no changes to the cast would have made The Matrix better than it was/is.

In fact, it would have made it worse. Will Smith? Madonna? No.

Release the Madonna-Will-Smith cut, you cowards!
