What you need to know:
Yes, you read that right: you are already working on the fifth “Matrix” film and there is already a director. Here we give you the information so far.
There are definitely franchises that have shaped the history of cinema forever. One of them is without a doubt matrixwhich completely changed the way we view science fiction in the early 2000s. And although we thought that after the last part we wouldn’t see another story from this universe, Now we have a square eye because there is a fifth film coming.
As you may remember, it hit theaters in 2021 after much anticipation. The Matrix Resurrections, in which Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss returned. The film received mixed reviews and did not have the expected reception at the box office. Therefore We believed that the saga would not be among Warner Bros. Pictures’ priorities for its next projects.
And after “Resurrections” comes a fifth “Matrix” film
However, it seems that we were very wrong, as there is very important information in Hollywood that suggests that despite the events in the last episode of matrix, we will see more of this fascinating universe. We say it because The fact is that we will see a fifth film in this franchise…just like you read it.
In accordance with deadline, Warner Bros. Pictures hired Drew Goddard (Oscar-nominated screenwriter for The Martian and director of The cabin in the forest) to write and direct a new film in this saga. But not only that, they also confirmed it The original co-writer and co-director of the three previous films, Lana Wachowski, will return as executive producer.
How important it is to be responsible for the fifth film in the series, Goddard stated the following: “It is no exaggeration to say that the Matrix films changed both cinema and my life. “Lana and Lilly’s exquisite art inspires me daily and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to tell stories in their world.”
Drew Goddard has done some pretty interesting things throughout his career. He began writing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayerand later had credits in series like Lost and daredevils. Later he worked on the scripts for films of great size Clover field And World War Z until he was nominated for an Oscar for his adapted screenplay The Martian by Ridley Scott. In addition to The cabin in the forest, He also directed the film Bad times at the El Royale.
It’s still too early to know if the main cast of The Matrix, led by Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving and Jada Pinkett Smith will return for the fifth film or what story will they tell on this occasion? However, it has already become clear to us that Warner Bros. Pictures wants to further explore this impressive universe that certainly has a lot in store for us.
