Might Be Getting More Matrix Movies

Warners Is looking into it

Warner Bros Ponders More Of ‘The Matrix’

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros is trying to see if there is more life in The Matrix beyond the three groundbreaking films written and directed by the Wachowskis. This is all in the exploratory phase and it’s unclear if the Wachowskis, then Andy and Larry but now Lily and Lana Wachowski, or the original cast will be involved, or producer Joel Silver. Right now, I hear the studio is likely to create a writers’ room of scribes to figure out the best possible way to relaunch the franchise.

Why would they do that and take on such a groundbreaking series? The trilogy grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide. The 1999 original featured some of the most audacious action ever seen onscreen during its time. That film grossed over $463 million worldwide. The sequel The Matrix Reloaded did even better and grossed $742 million globally for Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures. The finale released later that year in 2003, paled in comparison, but still grossed $427.3 million.

Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne just reteamed in the John Wick sequel and there was a lot of good will there. Stay tuned. Studio isn’t commenting.

Lot of "ifs" and "buts" there but I figured this was coming the minute Keanu mentioned he'd be down for it if the circumstances were right. If they're doing it, they really need to holla at the Wachowskis first though. Save that writers room shyt for after that.

If done right I'd be down for more matrix fukkery.

Yeah it's been gone long enough where I definitely want more. Seeing Keanu and Laurence together also got me interested

Correcting Will's colossal mistake

Edit: Once again, Screen Rant jumping the gun. God I hate their site sometimes lol. Click bait kings and queens

It’s still not clear what shape the project will take, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. is in the early stages of developing a relaunch of The Matrix, the iconic 1999 sci-fi movie that is considered one of the most original films in cinematic history, with Zak Penn in talks to write a treatment.

Sources say there is potential interest in Michael B. Jordan to star, but much must be done before the project is ready to go.

At this point, the Wachowski siblings, who wrote and directed the original and its two sequels, are not involved and the nature of their potential engagement with a new version has not been determined. Certainly, Warners would want the two filmmakers to give at minimum a blessing to the nascent project. The studio had no comment.

If THR is right, Zak Penn is going to write a treatment and they'll go from there. They really need to holla at the Wachowskis though.

This is a bad idea.

I'm good with keeping the Wachowski's out

Word? Why so? I mean this is their thing and its not like they've run out of good ideas. Do they probably need someone to tell them "no"? Yes lol but this is their baby.

 

[Swiggy]

The Matrix series can get this $12 if they got something for me.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Meh.
