May 13 – The Matrix: Reloaded gang swept through New York for a day of nonstop promotions before taking off for the Cannes Film Festival. During the afternoon, Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, the pregnant Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith and Hugo Weaving stopped into MTV’s studios for a Total Request Live appearance. Next up was a soundtrack release party at the Royalton Hotel. That soundtrack was blasting even outside the Ziegfeld theater at the film’s premiere. Guests walking the black carpet – yes, black – for the first peek at the film were Janet Jackson, Taye Diggs, Tim Robbins, Wyclef Jean, AOL/Time Warner’s Dick Parsons, Kristin Davis and Parker Posey.
