...like some amorphous ogre, pregnant with menace, glaring up with three vast, unblinking eyes. The colors looked so unnatural that at first I thought I was peering into tailing ponds filled with toxic sludge from a large mining operation.

Meanwhile, in Miyagi, Japan, a $585 million marvel of a stadium sits in the rolling countryside like a gleaming samurai helmet, designed to hold nearly 50,000 spectators. "The World Cup gave us the perfect opportunity to develop a real infrastructure," crows Junji Ogura, vice president of the Japan Football Association.

They come from every state in the union, climbing to the crest of Skyline Road to see what remains of the now legendary Flight 93: absolutely nothing. With the crater long ago filled in, they can only gaze out on a rolling field that protrudes like a bald spot from a grove of hemlocks.

Across the stage, in front of the cameras and under the lights, we find Reeves in his familiar uniform (long black coat, dark shades) at the bottom of a crater being drenched by a rainstorm manufactured by overhead sprinklers. Later, drying off in his trailer, Reeves won't elaborate on that particular shot (it takes place in a climactic battle scene in part three), but he does give the following overview of the trilogy: "The first one is about birth," says Reeves.
