	IGN: Comic-Con 2005: IGN Interviews Joel Silver
		Silver is re-teaming with the Wachowskis to produce V for Vendetta, based on Alan Moore & David Lloyd's tale of a fascist England on the brink of humanity's end (and he's also the executive producer of UPN's Veronica Mars, to boot).
		JOEL SILVER: Well, whenever I'm asked that, I answer metaphorically.
		SILVER: I always felt that a lot of the films I did with Donner weren't as good as they could have been, because he was not as collaborative as I would have liked, but I kind of said, "Okay…" The Wachowski Bothers are very collaborative, and the Coen brothers were very collaborative.

	JEWSWEEK - The man behind The Matrix
		Joel Silver's second installment in The Matrix trilogy is more than just the most anticipated movie of the year.
		Ultimately, Silver not only electrified audiences with audacious visual innovations that have since been imitated in countless commercials, music videos and movies, they created a provocative action film that ponders the essence of reality and identity, illuminating the choices we must make and the strengths and weaknesses that compel us to make them.
		Silver had always envisioned the sprawling saga he unleashed in The Matrix as a trilogy, and the success of that film allowed him to tunnel deeper into a mythology that he had only begun to reveal.

	Zap2it.com - Movie news - Joel Silver Talks 'Vendetta,' Logan's Run' and More
		Silver was actually supposed to be drumming up support for two films right now, but "V for Vendetta," an adaptation of the Alan Moore graphic novel starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving was bumped from November to next March.
		Looking forward, Silver holds out hopes for his remake of "Logan's Run," a sci-fi epic Bryan Singer was supposed to direct before he was lured away by the Siren call of "Superman." Singer is still involved and the team is still waiting on script drafts from Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie.
		Silver hopes to have "Logan's Run" shooting next summer for a 2007 or 2008 release, though Singer's commitment to figure "Superman" installments could be an issue.

	DVDork.com Forums - Joel Silver speaks on the Matrix 2 disc cancellation
		Producer Joel Silver and his team want to give audiences a taste of The Animatrix before the collection of animated shorts based on the hit film The Matrix arrives on video June 3.
		The idea for Animatrix took root in 1999, when Silver and “the boys” -- Silver’s affectionate reference to Larry and Andy Wachowski -- were on their way home from a promotional junket for The Matrix in Japan.
		As for the highly publicized Matrix special edition, the release of which Warner had timed to coincide with Reloaded’s theatrical bow, Silver said those plans were scrapped because the double-disc edition was loaded with samples from the upcoming sequel.

	Cinema Confidential: Interview with Steven Seagal, Jill Hennessy, and Joel Silver
		[Joel Silver] had an interest in a novel about police corruption and at that time, just had a horrible incident which you all refer to as the Ramphart incident and I felt it was, politically, a very important move to address this kind of corruption.
		When asked if DMX was cast the role of Latrell Walker because of his work in "Romeo Must Die" (also with Silver), Silver answered, "He had only two real scenes in 'Romeo Must Die' and there was a tremendous response in the audience in both of those scenes.
		Silver may take all of this into account with his next pictures, which are the sequels to 1999's "The Matrix." Even though the films will not begin shooting until later this month, the Internet is already full of buzz and activity regarding plot leaks and characters.

	Joel Silver
		After graduation Silver quickly worked his way up to an assistant producer post under Universal's Lawrence Gordon; after considerable success with a series of popular pictures, including a handful of Burt Reynolds vehicles, Silver was appointed president of Lawrence Gordon Productions.
		As head of his own Silver Pictures in 1980, Silver began inauspiciously with the mishmosh Olivia Newton-John vehicle Xanadu before finding his niche with the stylized violent action of 1984's Streets of Fire.
		Silver was able to maintain his industry standing on the basis of these successes, permitting him to ride out his many failures, including Jumpin' Jack Flash (1985), Ford Fairlane (1990), and the potentially career-busting Hudson Hawk (1991).

	Joel Silver Says Vendetta is Risky - Cinematical
		In discussing his upcoming graphic novel-to-film adaptation V for Vendetta, producer Joel Silver calls it a "smart" action film, comparing it with previous Wachowski effort The Matrix, in contrast to many other action flicks Joel has worked on.
		While Joel acknowledges that he enjoyed working on general action films as well (quote: "Look, I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life, which, by the way, I'm proud of") he says that there is something more provocative and interesting about action films which "masquerade" as something else.
		According to Joel, "smart action" films such as Vendetta and Matrix carry a greater box office risk than your standard variety action flick, because they are complex, difficult to swallow, and at times tough to understand.
