Official The Matrix Resurrections Thread

I always thought that was an urban legend. How much did they have to pay her? That franchise made a lot of dough.

It's 2019 and cats still believe that.

Inside The BIllion Dollar Matrix Lawsuit, One of the Internet's Most Pervasive Hoaxes

According to court documents obtained by TIME, those stories are false. In the case of a lawsuit filed in 2003 claiming damages, Stewart alleged that the idea of the 1984 film The Terminator and the 1999 film The Matrix were stolen from her own screen treatment entitled “The Third Eye,” which was copyrighted in 1983. The documents show that Stewart claimed she was defrauded of $200 million, plus royalties, a hefty sum if she could prove that the Wachowskis and Cameron had ripped her off. On her website, where she dubs herself “The Mother of the Matrix,” Stewart says she answered a magazine ad in 1986 that said the Wachowskis were soliciting science fiction stories to be made into a comic book, but after she sent it she never heard from the defendants.

However, her court claim goes back even further, saying she gave her original six-page treatment to 20th Century Fox in 1981, but did not get any acknowledgment of their receiving it until 1985, when it was rejected. At any rate, after viewing The Matrix, she said she immediately recognized her story and she wound up filing suit.

But the courts do not believe that her work was plagiarized by the Wachowskis or Cameron. The ruling from Morrow held that “plaintiff Sophia Stewart take nothing by way of her complaint against defendants…” Stewart reportedly failed to show up for her court date, but she denies any failure. The lawsuit was dismissed with the judge ruling Stewart and her attorneys “had not entered any evidence to bolster its key claims or demonstrated any striking similarity between her work and the accused directors’ films,” according to Snopes. The defendants were awarded $305,235.62 in attorney fees, but Stewart said they never collected.

In Stewart’s case, the Internet rumors that she was triumphant in her case have flourished. To be clear, the stories that the producers of “The Matrix” trilogy have forked over billions of dollars to Stewart are patently false. No judgment of damages for funds in any amount were decided in her favor. The case has been closed since 2005, but urban legend found its way to the Internet and for nearly a decade many who read unresearched stories believe that Stewart actually won her case.

FACT CHECK: Sophia Stewart Matrix Lawsuit

According to Stewart, in 1986 she responded to an advertisement posted by the Wachowski brothers in a national magazine soliciting science fiction manuscripts to make into comic books by sending them “The Third Eye,” a short story she had written and copyrighted in 1981. She said she never heard back from them nor received her manuscript back, but when she saw The Matrix in 1999 she was struck by how closely it resembled her story. She filed suit against the makers of the film, seeking over $1 billion in damages.

Stewart’s case was dismissed in June 2005 when she failed to show up for a preliminary hearing of her case. In a 53-page ruling, Judge Margaret Morrow of the Central District Court of California dismissed the suit, saying Stewart and her attorneys had not entered any evidence to bolster its key claims or demonstrated any striking similarity between her work and the accused directors’ films. As of this writing, Stewart’s case is no longer before the courts.

A less than accurate newspaper article about Stewart and her case caused many to believe the woman claiming authorship had won her copyright infringement suit and was about to receive a multi-billion dollar settlement

Part 1 was good.

Part 2 was alright but could've been better. The flawed program shyt was actually interesting.

Part 3 was whatever but made for an acceptable ending to the overall story at least.

Not giving a single fukk about the next one. I'd rather see a animated spin off with a couple dudes going at Marovingian or whatever the fukk his name is.

 

[ThirdAct]

I think the Wachowskis gotta go get sex changes AGAIN back to male for this to be good

shyt just get the John Wick dude to direct this

 

[JSS]

The last Wachowski movie was Jupiter Ascending. I don't have any hope of this being good .

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Very lazy. Took me out of that movie.

They kind of wrote themselves into a corner with infinity wars though, the only other alternative was for them to get the gauntlet from Thanos and undo what he had done.

Yeah they did. Should of ended it at infinity war. End game felt like a parody.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

2 and 3 were so bad in retrospect that I can say that I’m not even the least bit excited

They was ass at the time they released

 

[Art Barr]

the matrix is stoopid.
as soon as it hit pretentious computer nerd rant mode in part two.

fukk this franchise, ain't no way to save that shyt from that first sequel. Star wars should have taken notes.
on what not to do.

it is over.


stop.

Keanu in...I'm in...the rest don't even matter much to me

 

[Rapmastermind]

I just realized between Keanu, Carrie and Laurence.........Laurence has been in the most movies and has had the most success Post-Matrix. We are in a Keanu resurgence now though. So for those wondering what Morpheus could look like in "Matrix 4". Well he did a commercial for the Super Bowl 5 years ago and he pretty much looked the same just a little heavier. Agent Smith aka Hugo Weaving did a commercial too.

 

[dakidblu]

Need me another burly brawl shyt still get me hype to this day

 

[The G.O.D II]

Who cares. The last two matrix movies were ass and the directors are mentally ill

 

[CHICAGO]

Yeah they did. Should of ended it at infinity war. End game felt like a parody.

THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT FELT THIS WAY.

IT WAS HARD TO TAKE THAT MOVIE SERIOUS AS I WAS WATCHING IT.

INFINITY WAR COMPLETELY shytS
ON END GAME AND IT ISNT EVEN CLOSE.

‘Matrix 4’: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Lands Lead Role (EXCLUSIVE)

“Aquaman” star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has landed one of the lead roles in the latest installment in the “Matrix” franchise.

Sources tell Variety that director Lana Wachowski had been meeting with actors for the secret role over the last week and in recent days, Abdul-Mateen emerged as the frontrunner to join Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, who will be reprising their roles in the film.

Warner Bros. announced in August that a fourth “Matrix” film is officially in the works, with Reeves and Moss returning and Wachowski on board to write and direct. Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will produce and globally distribute the film.

In addition to Wachowski, the script was also written by Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell. Wachowski is also producing with Grant Hill. Sources say the film is eyed to begin production at the top of 2020.

Warner Bros. has been trying for the last of couple of years to find a way back into “The Matrix” universe, but a hold-up over producing rights slowed the project down. The studio has recently seen the opportunity to ramp up development, with Reeves boasting a strong summer that included box office hits “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” and “Toy Story 4” in addition to a solid script from Wachowski.

Plot details are currently unknown and while it was rumored a young Morpheus could appear in the movie, sources close to the film would not confirm Abdul-Mateen’s specific role.

The three previous films — “The Matrix,” “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions” — have collectively earned more than $1.6 billion at the global box office. All three were written and directed by Lana and her sister, Lilly, and starred Reeves and Moss.

In addition to his breakout role as Manta in Warner Bros.’ “Aquaman,” Abdul-Mateen portrayed Lupita Nyong’o’s character’s father in Jordan Peele’s hit “Us” and had a starring role in an episode of “Black Mirror.” He will appear as Cal Abar in HBO’s “Watchmen” TV series, which also stars Regina King and Don Johnson.

Abdul-Mateen was most recently cast to play Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale in Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and landed the titular role in the Peele-produced “Candyman,” set for release in 2020. He will also star in Netflix’s drama “All Day and a Night” alongside Jeffrey Wright. He is repped by WME and Anonymous Content.
