Matrix Revolutions Helicopter Chase?

What happened to this? I remember in quite a few articles Joel Silver promising a 14 minute low-altitude helicopter chase through downtown Sydney. Was he wrong and referring to the car chase in Reloaded or was this a bit of misdirection? I'm confused. Please someone tell me they remember this too, or maybe I am going nuts.

I remember a lot of talk about a Helicopter chase, too. Shame if it got cut, and if it was, there's little hope of seeing it as a deleted scene on the DVD.

I assume that it got cut before filming. That would be a costly thing to just cut.

I always assumed they used some of helicopter shots for the scenes where Neo is flying towards the highway chase and when he is flying through the city to save Trinity.

I also remember seeing photos of this scene, and asked my friend who had seen revolutions was there a helicopter scene in it and he said no. BUT what I was thinking was that the helicopter was being used as a CAMERA helicopter, because I thought I saw a camera on the side of the 'copter when I first saw the photos of the scene.
Has anyone seen the film and saw a shot that could have been taking from the air, instead of being taken from a crane camera?

Producer Joel Silver says in his new STARLOG interview that:

"Somehow, somewhere, something came out about a helicopter chase. I have no idea what they're talking about. There is no such thing. The Brothers shot plates with helicopters, but there's no helicopter sequence, per se."
So this should dispel yet another internet rumor...
