But although, like Reeves, Moss made the role and character her own, she, again like Reeves, was not the first choice for the role. ![]() Neo’s romantic interest Trinity was one of the most intriguing characters of the film and was played by a relative unknown Carrie-Anne Moss. Reeves finally got the nod, or else who knows, Depp might have ended being better known as Neo rather than Captain Jack Sparrow! In the end, it boiled down to Reeves and Johnny Depp, who was believed to be the Wachowski brothers’ choice. ![]() Nicholas Cage, Brad Pitt, Leonardo di Caprio and Van Kilmer were also approached for the role but turned it down. Will Smith turned down the role because he was not convinced by all the tech around it (he opted instead to star in Wild Wild West – ouch!). ![]() But he was not the first choice for the role. Keanu Reeves might seem tailormade for the role of Neo, the “One” who leads mankind’s battle against its machine masters.
