Hello, guys. I'm a movie location hunter and I need your help to find this specific Matrix location in Sydney.
Judging by the brick wall behind them (that seems like a bridge or elevated passageway) and other Matrix locations, I have the feeling this could be in or around Henry Deane Plaza. But the place has gone under recent changes so I can't be sure using Street View.
What can you tell me? Thanks in advance!

They look like some of the generic alleyways around the city to be honest
I wonder if it is around Fox Studios at Moore Park? That’s where the interior shots were done
To be honest, it looks like a constructed sound stage
I reckon that’s inside fox studios. Building look like the old Showgrounds.
so movie location hunter, do you have a website? Is it a hobby or are you making money out of locating movie locations? really curious.

You can see the identical brick horizontal bands in this photo…
I think it’s fox studios but around the horsey bit (if that’s still considered fox studios) near centennial park. Have a look at cook road near lang road on google maps. The brick and green paint match perfectly
Hmm… This from movie locations website… But that back shot doesn’t look like it.

Neo’s band is ambushed by agents in what was the old General Post Office, alongside the Martin Place fountain, where the ‘deja vu’ cat points up a glitch in the Matrix. Want to stay there? The post office building has been spruced up and is now the Westin Hotel, 1 Martin Place.

Google lens says it’s in the rocks which seems more reasonable.
I think this would be at Fox Studios in Moore Park
They have tall brick walls like those
The last image could be somewhere along the Glebe viaduct
The 2nd shot looks like somewhere near the cahill expressway leading up onto/off the harbour bridge.
Makes sense seeing as that famous bullet time scene was shot not far from there in the AON tower.
A lot of it was reusing sets from Dark City. Looks like a sound stage to me.

Could these be around Carriageworks / Redfern?
I’m thought this looked a little like central station but now I’m leaning more towards Moore park
Follow the white rabbit…
A friend of mine did a huge research on this and can 100% confirm it’s Henry Dean Plaza, on the side facing Ambulance Ave
Fox Studios backlot.
If you have IG, post this question & tag in Jasin Boland, he did the stills on Matrix.
well you’d be hard pressed to find it now. I’ll give you a hint: [the view up from the bin when cypher looks up is the adina hotel on the corner outside central](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiep8QMiZihbghPmKS7rUtrlG5J6xIaz8SG3PJ8gMx3QdiP48aPImEEV313O1AX_jqBpEwpe-CHCdaJclnzqSo-4fGodlJc-LKwmOue0N9vcNcg5odpueYYHPUdUsTT8AbbBwyOgNUXzRSb/s1600/photo.JPG). the view where cypher is walking up to the bin [has a gigantic pool there now](https://adina-apartment-central.newsouthwaleshotels.net/data/Images/OriginalPhoto/12121/1212161/1212161626/sydney-adina-apartment-hotel-sydney-central-image-30.JPEG ) (at the back of the hotel). the wall behind is still there though, the top side just leads up to central concourse. pretty sure theres guards out the arse since atlassian is building their ego project out the back.
the adina isn’t 1:1 real life:movie but if you look at the behind the scenes you can see they edited the fuck out of that building’s facade to composit something better for the movie. [the exterior shot at the start is the same building again.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDadfh0ZdBM)
There’s an app called SetJetters. It shows you real life locations of an insane amount of movies.
Of course as time moves on the locations themselves look less like the film sets.
Could be somewhere around Central too.
Looks a lot like one of the light rail overpasses or harbour bridge but can’t place it precisely.
