![]() ![]() On both those fronts, we are happy to be the harbinger of good news, since Lana Wachowski is all set to write, direct and produce the fourth Matrix film, with Reeves returning in his iconic role. His involvement would clearly have meant nothing but greater, better things for the franchise. #MATRIX 4 CAST SERIES#‘The Matrix’ series de facto transformed his status in Hollywood into A-list action star, so much so that his name is almost synonymous with the high concept franchise. Even Keanu Reeves, who played the role of Neo in the original trilogy was keen to return for a fourth part, but only subject to the Wachowskis returning to direct. As I stated earlier, it was their involvement, even if in a writing/producing capacity that was absolutely essential and instrumental in deciding the course that this franchise would take. There are a lot of interconnected variables right now on who is going to be involved with this much-anticipated sequel, but primary among them, most definitely, are the Wachowskis. #MATRIX 4 CAST FULL#What starts from Neo coming to realize his destiny and fulfilling it escalates to a full blown war between the humans and machines for the fate of Zion. ![]() He and the other rebels, including Trinity, Neo’s love interest, fellow crew member and part of the resistance, are relentlessly pursued by the ruthless Agent Smith and his team of other sentient agents whose job is to keep humans from escaping The Matrix. Aided by Morpheus, a human who initially escaped the Matrix and is now leading the revolution against it, and his crew of rebels, Neo sets on a path to fulfill his destiny as “The One”, with his understanding of the Matrix allowing him to bend the laws of Physics in the simulated world. ‘The Matrix’ follows Thomas Anderson or Neo ( Keanu Reeves) as he discovers that the seemingly normal world he lived in is actually a shared simulation of human minds, and that the “real” world was a technological ruin ravaged by war between humans and sentient beings. The genre may be overstuffed now, but when it came out first, it’s safe to say the audience hadn’t seen anything like it. ![]() Neo’s ability to manipulate the simulated reality to perform seemingly impossible feats and the use of “bullet time”, an action technique that is nothing short of iconic now, adds to the film’s ingenuity. #MATRIX 4 CAST MOVIE#The success of ‘The Matrix’ as a movie also lies in how it masterfully dabbles between themes including existentialism, religion and gender, all the while wearing the guise of an action and sci-fi flick. Not only did the film break somewhat new ground in its story, it also revolutionized the way science fiction and action movies came to be conceived thereafter. It is true, once ‘ The Matrix’ was made, there was no going back, it changed things. When I consider action movies and sci-fi movies today, and of the yesteryears, I always tend to see them in a pre-matrix phase and a post-matrix phase, which, I believe is a testament to the impact the film has had on modern sci-fi and action films an ingenious, clever idea rendered on screen by the Wachowskis, resulting in a film that made many viewers grow wary of the very reality they found themselves in. ![]() It is a monumental film in my opinion: since its release close to two decades ago, action and science fiction movies have never been the same. I wouldn’t be too wrong in stating that ‘ The Matrix’ is a revolution disguised as a film. However, following some concrete confirmations from the Wachowskis, and the recent press confirmation from WB that sent the entertainment world in a frenzy, we know that a ‘Matrix 4’ is surely happening, and more importantly, what it will bring to the front when it hits theatres a couple of years from now. You can check back later on the same write-up which we will continue updating as soon as new information surfaces. As the DCEU continues to pick up after ‘Aquaman’ and ‘ Shazam’, WB thankfully is focusing towards reviving older properties, principal (and commendable) among them being ‘The Matrix’ trilogy of films, the rumour of a sequel to which, a fourth part had long been doing the rounds on the internet. Since the execs at WB managed to single-handedly ruin the ongoing course of the DCEU, given what they did with ‘ Justice League’ in 2017, I can imagine them having a hard time picking straws from either older properties when they used to be the singular voice in the game, or acquiring new properties and investing in them. ![]()
