Neo's (Keanu Reeves) complete costume from Lana and Lilly Wachowski's sci-fi sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. "The One" wore his ecclesiastical-styled ensemble in scenes set within the simulated Matrix universe as he fought to save humanity from extinction.

One of the main factors designer Kym Barrett had to consider in the costume design for the production of these two sequels was the practicality of the costumes and how they would withstand their complex stunt sequences. Several versions of Neo's costume were produced, using different fabrics suitable for particular scenes, from straightforward dialogues to flying and fist-fighting with Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) in the storm-ridden City.

The ensemble comprises a pair of plastic micro sunglasses; a woollen cassock (labelled "Keanu Reeves. Harness Fit Body/Fight Length Skirt (Matt Wool)"); a cotton shirt (labelled "Neo" and "KR Feb 2001"); a set of metal cufflinks; a pair of polyester suspenders; a pair of polyester trousers (labelled "Keanu Reeves November 2000" and "KR1 32"); a pair of leather boots (labelled CS); and a leather belt (labelled "Neo 34").

There are intentional slits in the sleeves of the jacket for a harness and wires to be attached to Reeves, so he could be safely lifted for the film's aerial fight scenes. Production wardrobe tags accompany the cassock, trousers, shirt, suspenders, cufflinks and belt.

Included are two autographed promotional stills of Reeves in character with black marker. A certificate of authenticity from Warner Bros accompanies the lot.

The autographs in this lot have been professionally authenticated by expert Garry King; see notice in the Terms and Conditions.

Estimate: £50,000 - 100,000 †
