  • Warner Bros. Taps Drew Goddard to Head Back to ‘The Matrix’

    Warner Bros. Taps Drew Goddard to Head Back to ‘The Matrix’

    Drew Goddard has taken the red pill. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has reached an agreement with Goddard to write and direct an new installment in one of the studio’s most popular franchises.

    Warner Bros. Motion Pictures President of Production Jesse Ehrman contirmed Goddard’s involvement saying ,”The entire team at Warner Bros Discovery is thrilled for Drew to be making this new Matrix film, adding his vision to the cinematic canon the Wachowskis spent a quarter of a century building here at the studio.”

    Drew came to Warner Bros with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honoring what Lana and Lilly began over 25 years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters.

    Goddard’s film will be the fifth in the Matrix franchise, following 2021’s The Matrix Ressurections. At this time, it’s unclear if the franchise’s stars Keanu Reeves or Carrie-Anne Moss are set to return.

  • Christina Ricci Secretly Added to Lana Wachowski’s ‘Matrix 4’

    Christina Ricci Secretly Added to Lana Wachowski’s ‘Matrix 4’

    By the time the fourth film in the Matrix franchise releases it’ll have been almost eighteen years since the original trilogy ended. Many were ecstatic to hear that Lana Wachowski would be returning to helm the next film alongside the return of multiple main cast members from the original films. The list includes Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Daniel Bernhardt, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Plot details for the upcoming film remain under wraps with the only clue to the premise of the film being a leak from a wrap gift. It revealed that the film’s title is Matrix: Resurrections. With the film in the can, it seems there’s one rather late addition to its outstanding cast.

    In a new report from Collider, it is being reported that actress Christina Ricci has joined the cast of the upcoming film with details on her character currently unknown. It seems it was a well-hidden secret and recently was added into the recent press kit. She is best known for her work in the Addams Family films in which she played Wednesday Addams, and even once worked with the Wachowskis on the 2008 live-action adaption of Speed Racer.

    The upcoming Matrix film is currently set to be released on December 16, 2021, and will be the first film in the franchise not co-directed by both Wachowski sisters, With Lilly Wachowski only serving as producer on the project alongside Lana due to prior commitments.  Joining the returning cast members is a slew of high-profile talent with the likes of Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra, Jonathan Groff, and Max Riemelt.

  • Lana Wachowski’s ‘Matrix 4’ Title Leaked Online

    Lana Wachowski’s ‘Matrix 4’ Title Leaked Online

    Warner Bros. has a major year ahead of it. Just recently, we got the first official trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong. It was followed by a teaser of the various projects that will hit theaters and HBO Max simultaneously throughout the year. Among them, there is also the highly anticipated release of the fourth entry in the Matrix franchise. So far, we heard very little from the project and many were still wondering if we would get a similar naming scheme from the last two sequels, Reloaded and Revolutions. Well, it looks like this is actually the case, as the title was accidentally leaked online when the production wrap gifts were shown off on Instagram. It reveals that the film’s name will be Matrix: Resurrections.

    Resurrection is a perfect title. It continues the trend of each sequel including a play on a word that starts with “re”. It is the revival of the franchise that ended in 2003. Lana Wachowski also returned to direct, write and produce the series. Many of the actors are also set to return from the original trilogy, which includes Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith. The film is currently set to release in December, so we have no idea what direction the story might be heading and how it continues the story of Neo.

    As Warner Bros. has been holding back with their trailers, we might not get an official trailer until a few months before the release, so the title reveals might not officially happen until then. It is the second time a title was accidentally leaked online, as  Jared Leto also accidentally released the subtitle for the upcoming Tron film half a year ago. Hopefully, as time goes by 2021, Warner Bros. might start release trailers a bit earlier than just two months in advance so we find out what the future has in store for Neo and Trinity.
