The Matrix Resurrections (2021) - Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Daniel Bernhardt

[DragonClaws]

It's still early days yet, but Warner are planning on re-booting/re-making/re-mixing/reheating the 1998 blockbuster action hit The Matrix. Not sure if they plan to tie the new films with the older series?.

Moive still from The Matrix Revolutions(2003).

According to screenwriter Zak Penn, it is looking to be a continuation, but now rumors have emerged it might be a prequel revolving around young Morpheus.

Either people will be pissed they decided to have a Black Neo... Or it makes sense because the Morpheus prequel thing is happening. 

 

Still, I'm intrigued - the first movie has a cult status while the sequels.... They didn't match the first one, even though they do have some neat action.

Variety states: “Lana Wachowski is set to write and direct a fourth film set in the world of “The Matrix,” with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.

If Woo-Ping doesn't return, they can always get Chad Stahelski to do the action

I wonder if they will stick with the original style of action, or try to go a different direction with it?.

[AlbertV]

Lana Wachowski as mentioned will be co-writing and directing a new installment of The Matrix, which will bring back Keanu Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. Aquaman's Black Manta, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, will be co-starring in the film as he met with Wachowski, who was looking to cast the yet unspecified role.

Is this the same project @AlbertV?.

 

 

 

[Secret Executioner]

@DragonClaws Wasn't that film a prequel on Morpheus ? The one @AlbertV is talking about is a follow-up to the original trilogy.

[AlbertV]

Right, I think the Matrix CU was supposed to be around possible spin-offs. This thread is on the official sequel that's coming from Lana Wachowski. Figured it would be good to distinguish the two.

Sequels, spin-off's, re-boots , thanks for clearing that up @AlbertV and @Secret Executioner.

I think what would be a good idea is let's find out what exactly this new Matrix movie is then consider merging the two if that's the case

[AlbertV]

May 21, 2021 will see The Matrix 4 and what do you know...it's the same release date as John Wick: Chapter 4! It's going to be a Keanu-filled weekend!

Warner Brothers officially set the Matrix film for 5/21/2021. Originally, Akira was set for that date but it's now been pulled off the shelf.

From Deadline:

"The Matrix, which returns to the big screen for the first time since 2003, now sits on date with the fourth chapter of Lionsgate’s John Wick franchise, which of course is toplined by the Matrix star Keanu Reeves, setting up a Keanu Kollision Kourse in summer cineplexes."

@AlbertV I wonder if the box-office revenues will decide which franchise will get a fifth episode... Or maybe they won't care and both will, seeing John Wick looks bound to keep going and Matrix is to get an EU.

I could see her as a younger version of the original trilogy's female lead. Are we going for a prequel on Neo's companions ?
