Release Date: TBA (To Be Announced)

The info so far is that the script Zak Penn (Ready Player One, X-Men: The Last Stand) is working on is A) not a reboot and B) has great respect for the films, games, anime and comics that The Wachowskis created. Those who are familiar with the films know that at the end of Revolutions it indicated that the entire story that played out over the trilogy was itself a “reboot” of a simulation that’s been playing out over and over. At the end of that film, humans were going to be granted a choice of either staying in The Matrix or living in the real world, and it was hinted that Reeves’ Neo could return.

The studio is reportedly looking at Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Fantastic Four) to star, but it’s early days yet. The original film came to us from The Wachowskis and is considered a landmark of the sci-fi genre. It was known for its groundbreaking effects that have been endlessly copied over the years. At this time, the Wachowskis are not involved with the project.

The Matrix reboot may be happening at Warner Bros.









Yet another reboot is in the works, according to THR. This time around it’s The Matrix. Sources tell the site that Warner Bros. has a reboot of the sci-fi film in the works, with Zak Penn (Ready Player One, X-Men: The Last Stand) in talks to write the script. The studio is reportedly looking at Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Fantastic Four) to star, but it’s early days yet. The original film came to us from The Wachowskis and is considered one of the great sci-fi films of all time. It was known for its groundbreaking effects that have been endlessly copied over the years. At this time, the Wachowskis are not involved with the project.

The film was released back in 1999 and gave us an effect known as “bullet time,” the slow-moving action that showed bullets slowly moving during the heightened perception of the main character. The term was used in the script for the first film and is now trademarked by Warner Bros. The Matrix is the story of Neo, played by Keanu Reeves (John Wick, Speed), a hacker who is brought into the “real” world, learning that what we perceive as reality is actually a computer program. The Matrix also starred Laurence Fishburne (Mystic River, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Carrie-Ann Moss (Jessica Jones, Memento).

There were two sequels for The Matrix; The Matrix Reloaded in 2003 and The Matrix Revolutions released six months after the first sequel. The Animatrix was an animated anthology based on the film series and was also released in 2003. There have been numerous video games, anime and comics in the franchise that have continued the story.

New Matrix is not a remake or reboot, says Zak Penn









Just a few days ago, it was reported that Warner Bros. was working on a reboot of sci-fi franchise The Matrix, with Zak Penn (Ready Player One, X-Men: The Last Stand) in talks to write the script. Now Penn has taken to Twitter to hint that the new Matrix he’s working on right now is (by process of elimination) either a direct sequel or a prequel.

“All I can say at this point is no one could or should REBOOT ‘The Matrix,'” Penn wrote. “People who know ‘Animatrix’ and the comics understand. Can’t comment yet except to say that the words ‘reboot’ and ‘remake’ were from an article. Let’s stop responding to inaccurate news. Do I want to see more stories set in the universe of ‘The Matrix’? Yes. Because it’s a brilliant idea that generates great stories.”

Here are some more pertinent tweets from Penn regarding plans for the new Matrix:
















So the big takeaway from these tweets is that the script he’s working on is A) not a reboot and B) has great respect for the films, games, anime and comics that The Wachowskis created. Those who are familiar with the films know that at the end of Revolutions it indicated that the entire story that played out over the trilogy was itself a “reboot” of a simulation that’s been playing out over and over. At the end of that film, humans were going to be granted a choice of either staying in The Matrix or living in the real world, and it was hinted that Reeves’ Neo could return.

Could the new Matrix movie center on a young Morpheus?









Word broke just days ago that Warner Bros. was interested in rebooting The Matrix film series with writer Zak Penn (Ready Player One, X-Men: The Last Stand). Following fan displeasure at the announcement, Penn himself revealed that the new film isn’t a “remake/reboot” of the original series but in fact something else.

Now, BirthMoviesDeath[/b] reports that one of the concepts Warner Bros. is considering for the film is a young Morpheus movie, with an eye toward Michael B. Jordan starring as the character (Jordan’s involvement was also reported in the initial story on the in-development film).

Played by Laurence Fishburne in The Matrix, Morpheus is the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar and the leader of its crew. In the context of the series a lot of key moments in Morpheus’ past took place off screen including his early relationship with Niobe (played by Jada Pinkett Smith in the series) and his visit to The Oracle who revealed to him that he would find The One, all of which could be fertile ground for a solo/spin-off movie not unlike last year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The Matrix was released back in 1999 to both cricial acclaim and box office success, bringing in $463 million worldwide on just a $63 million budget. It was following by two sequels, The Matrix Reloaded in 2003 and The Matrix Revolutions released six months after the first sequel, which combined to bring in $1.169 billion at the global box office. The Animatrix was an animated anthology based on the film series and was also released in 2003. There have been numerous video games, anime and comics in the franchise that have continued the story.
