No Rooney and no Daniel Craig. What's the point?

Might as well just release the old swedish (?) ones.

 

[shogun]

WTH? It's not even a continuation of the first movie. This will be based on the 4th book.

 

[KingParappa]

I keep forgetting about the 4th book. I need to read that.

'The Matrix' Reboot in the Works at Warner Bros, Michael B Jordan Might Star

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.

Joel Silver, who produced the original trilogy, is said to have approached Warners about the idea of mining The Matrix for a potential new film. However, Silver sold his interest in all his movies to the studio in 2012 for about $30 million, according to sources. Warners is said to be leery of including him in any meaningful role, as he not only has a reputation for budget-control issues, but apparently has a strained relationship with the Wachowskis. The siblings hold much more meaning for fans than the producer. Silver's reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Written and directed by the Wachowskis, the original movie sees humanity living in a simulated reality, unaware that humans are in pods in which their bodies are being harvested for energy. A computer programmer named Neo (Keanu Reeves) slowly becomes aware of this suppressed existence, eventually becoming humanity’s one true hope (Neo = One) to overthrow the oppressors. The pic also starred Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving.

The Matrix was released in a quiet period of the 1999 release calendar — March 31 — and Warner Bros. didn’t have outsized expectations for an action movie with obvious Manga and comic-book influences. But the story and ground-breaking special effects (including the slow-motion "bullet time" effect, which launched dozens of imitators in the years that followed) became the highest grossing R-rated film of 1999 in North America, and the fourth-highest grossing film of the year worldwide. It also won four Academy Awards.

Matrix reboot? Unnecessary!!!!

As for The Girl WTDT sequel, itll have the Dont Breathe/Evil Dead director! But ehhh on the original cast not returning.

 

[shogun]

They're just wasting their money on a matrix reboot. It hasn't even been 20 years since the original.

 

[IATT]

I mean, I'm curious to see what story they could come up with..

But I'm worried it ends up kinda like anything terminator related post T2.. or even the struggle that is/was anything alien related post aliens

 

[law3001]

I'm down for one, again i loved thw original movie but thw overall trilogy was a let down especially the third it straight cheeks

Don't get me started with thw ending to The second one. Got colonel sanders saying big words just for the sake of it

There is sooo much that can be explored

The Russos are going back to do TV shows after IW to produce Quantum & Woody

Those guys are the worst!

Once upon a time, Eric and Woody Henderson were inseparable. Adopted brothers. Best friends. Brilliant minds.

Years later, they are estranged siblings, petty rivals, and washed-up failures. But when their father's murder leads them into the throes of a life-altering scientific accident, Eric and Woody will find themselves with a whole new purpose — and a perfectly legitimate reason to wear costumes and fight crime! Go big or go home, folks! Quantum and Woody are coming! (And, yes, there is a goat too.)
