Gateway Radio interview with Sophia Stewart "The Mother of the Matrix"
Tune in today@9pm EST.Call in to listen (646)929-2484. Our guest is Sophia Stewart creator of the matrix &terminator films. Sophia Stewart “Mother of the Matrix” Stewart's epic story created two of Hollywood's biggest franchises, the Matrix and Terminator movies series and trilogy.Two dates are important when you consider these three lawsuits. 1981 when Fox got the script treatment and book. The second theft was in 1986 when Ms. Stewart answered a magazine advertisement for a science fiction script that the Wachowski brothers were going to make into a comic book. Years later, Ms. Stewart contends, her vision hit the movie screens on March 31, 1999 in the form of Matrix. In fact the Wachowski brothers used a verbatim quote from her book to introduce the film which was later removed after an FBI investigation into the criminal copyright infringement was initiated. When I first spoke with Sophia Stewart a few months ago in April 2012, she was most gracious with her time and forthcoming with the complex details of her lawsuits. The legal documents involved could make your head spin. She shared some of them with me. When Stewart saw the Matrix, she recognized her work right away and called the legal department at Warner Brothers on April 1, 1999. According to her, they knew exactly who she was and therefore, one would assume, they knew that her work had plagerized. “They offered me money right off the bat,” she says. She had also kept a copy of the original Wachowski ad which ultimately became one of many aces in the hole. “The ad is what brings it all together,” she says. “The ad is what says I told the truth.”
