While his role as the designer of The Matrix code went uncredited, Simon Whiteley revealed in a new interview that the actual Matrix code was based off Japanese food recipes from his Japanese wife.
The original Matrix movie was a smash hit, both critically and commercially, which spawned the 2003 sequel The Matrix Reloaded and the 2004 follow-up The Matrix Revolutions.
Simon Whiteley was the man who designed and created The Matrix code, who got his start in the movie business designing the opening title sequence for the 1995 smash hit Babe.
One of the most unique elements of the movie is The Matrix code itself, which is basically comprised of a perpetual stream of neon green icons running down vertically over a black screen.
