The Matrix 4 Is Happening With Keanu Reeves And Carrie-Anne Moss

@tingtong: It's the same directors of the original trilogy, (well, one of the Wachowskis anyway). Not sure what the prob is.

And yes, your comment is beyond sexist and close-minded on so many levels, (women can't drive or direct movies because of their DNA?)

In the future, you should probably keep ridiculous assertions like that to yourself.

@ChrisAnetkaC: Make movies?

@xdude85: Shut up Kurt

@xdude85: No one asked you

@bdrtfm: There’s no way The Matrix 4 can ever be as good as The Matrix. The mystique and the originality of The Matrix will never be matched by any of its sequels. Especially with all of the discoveries in the past 25 years, a cyber world just isn’t that amazing any more.

@bdrtfm:

I'm skeptical about a fourth Matrix, but specifically for the opposite reason - the 2nd and 3rd movies were excellent, and the entire trilogy was very strong. Fan reaction to the latter two films was not as positive. The films brought in more complex philosophy, and leaned heavily into Gnosticism and other esoteric belief systems. They provided the scenario wherein the Demiurge has created the prison of the soul that is reality, Agent Smith was positioned as the destroyer figure who would end the prison of reality - the actual "Savior Figure" - and Neo was given the option to allow the illusion to collapse, or betray his ideals and stand with the Architect (of lies) to preserve the status quo, and he chose the latter.

It's an amazing story, including it's second two volumes, but as it grew more complex and symbolic audiences viewing the story only through a literal lens of hard sci-fi were turned off. The only logical place that wouldn't cheapen the story is to go further down that philosophical rabbit hole, which was already quite alienating to mass market audiences. I would probably enjoy that, as would a relatively minority of Matrix fans, but it's unlikely to be well received, if it does. The alternative is to make a film that "apologizes" for the very good work done in the original trilogy, possibly backpedaling on the themes and narrative, and attempting to rationalize storytelling that should remain quasi- symbolic.

The second two Matrix films had excellent writing, they just wasn't the genre and subject matter that some were expecting. As there's no pleasing everybody, I have serious reservations as to the intent, and the need, for a fourth film in a trilogy I greatly enjoyed, which as it stands now, is perfectly complete and finished.

@beachbum:

OG Matrix Trilogy: Wachowski brothers

New Matrix Trilogy: Wachowski brothers

You do not become a sister just because you want to.

@beachbum: Only Lana is working on this one.

Sad to see that they no longer team up for movies.

@ohrenclez: extremely plausible, though I’ve always thought the “real” world in the matrix is another layer of simulation...particularly after neo was using superpowers in the real world. Yet inexplicably 3 doesn’t address that at all.
