I just rewatched trailers for the matrix and it doesn't play that angle. It's revealed early on in the trailer that the matrix is a simulation and the movie itself is not trying to blur the lines, the matrix being a simulation is an accepted fact by both characters and the viewer. Maybe I watched DVD trailers though. I remember whatisthematrix and while the concept of a simulation was emphasized and heavily discussed there was no confusion about what is real and what is not. `What is the simulation` though... With that being said I agree that I rarely see improvements when movie makers revisit their creation (I also have no interests).

I remember only really vague trailers before the movie came out. All centered around the "No one can be told what the matrix is.." line. There was kind of a glut of movies around that time (esp. Sixth Sense and Fight Club) that were trying to disguise a reality-bending secret and The Matrix was definitely one of them in my memory. Once the movie was out though there were more detailed trailers.
