Why Sean Connery Turned Down 'The Matrix'...

 https://www.slashfilm.com/583577/why-sean-connery-turned-down-the-matrix-but-not-the-role-you-think-he-did

Sean_Connery could have been in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies, as well as in the LOTR movies.

Finding_Forrester was released on December 2000, the year in between The_Matrix and Vanilla_Sky. However, Finding_Forrester has nothing to do with VR. Yet curiously, the movie opens by showing a Ray Bradbury book that is partially about VR.

Novels featured in the film Finding Forrester https://www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AFSUYOLYHCRBCZ3ZJCFGSDS2AOOQ/YTQKY9CYJPWA

The Illustrated Man was shown at the start of the movie. https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Man-Ray-Bradbury/dp/B00201AIPY/ref=monarch_sidesheet

"Parents in a futuristic society worry about their children's mental health when their new virtual reality nursery, which can produce any environment the children imagine, continually projects an African veldt, populated by lions feasting on carcasses. A child psychologist suggests that the automated house is not good for the children's development, nor the parents', and insists they disable the automation and take a vacation to become more self-sufficient.

The children are not pleased with this decision but later coolly agree to it. The children trap their parents in the nursery, where they become prey to the lions. They later have lunch on the veldt with the child psychologist. They then see the lions feasting but do not recognize what has happened." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illustrated_Man#The_Veldt
