A new video of "The Matrix" featuring Will Smith is making waves today. Read more to learn why.

Have you ever wonder how "The Matrix" will go had Will Smith accepted the role of Neo? Yes, the "Suicide Squad" turned down the role so Keanu Reeves took over. "You know, 'The Matrix' is a difficult concept to pitch," Smith told Wired in 2004. "In the pitch, I just didn't see it."

However, you need not ponder how Neo would look like if Smith played the role because a Youtuber named The Unusual Suspect created a video with the actor taking the lead. On Thursday, it was uploaded and has garnered over 700,000 views already as of this writing.

The clip looked amazing and impressive thanks to his editing skills we now know how "The Matrix" will be with Will Smith playing as Neo. However, if there is something that might throw you off on the video, it will be Smith's numerous outfits.

According to Unusual Suspect, the process of producing such quality video took him 3 days. He started by taking the official trailer of "The Matrix" and removed all of Keanu Reeve's dialogue and footage. He then replaced it with high-quality footage of Will Smith's.

He skimmed Will Smith's movies like "I Robot," "Enemy of the State," "Men in Black" and "Focus" to gather appropriate clips to replace the ones in the trailer. For the dialogue, he also looked for something that fits but often times took the scripts from Smith's films and search for the same words that Keanu Reeve's uttered in "The Matrix."

"Other times, I found the needed dialogue by taking the scripts to Will Smith's films and using CTRL+F to find what Keanu Reeves said," Unusual Suspect said, The Huffington Post reported. "So for example, Reeves says 'What is happening to me?'. And I found Will Smith saying 'What's happening to me?' in Enemy of the State."
