The Matrix Resurrections is a 2021 American science fiction action film produced, co-written, and directed by Lana Wachowski. It is the sequel to The Matrix Revolutions (2003) and the fourth installment in The Matrix film series. Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Lambert Wilson, and Jada Pinkett Smith reprise their roles from previous films in the series, being joined by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Christina Ricci. The film was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures and Venus Castina Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Set in twenty years after the events of Revolutions,[4] the film follows on Neo, who lives a seemingly ordinary life under his original identity as Thomas A. Anderson in San Francisco, but when a new version of Morpheus offers him the red pill and reopens his mind to the world of the Matrix, which has become more secure and dangerous in the years since the Smith infection, Neo joins a group of rebels to fight a new enemy.

Following the release of Revolutions, the Wachowskis denied the possibility of another Matrix film, though rumors emerged since then about a possible fourth Matrix film and the studio constantly expressed interest in reviving the franchise, hiring Zak Penn to write a new screenplay after the Wachowskis refused every offer to create more sequels. In late 2019, a fourth Matrix film was finally announced, with Lana Wachowski returning as director without her sister, and Reeves and Moss reprising their roles. Filming started in February 2020 but was halted the next month by the COVID-19 pandemic. Wachowski toyed with the possibility of shelving the project and leaving the film unfinished, but the cast insisted that she finish it. Filming resumed in August 2020, concluding three months later.

The Matrix Resurrections had its world premiere in Toronto, Canada, on December 16, 2021, and is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures theatrically in other countries on December 22, 2021. It will also stream digitally on the ad-free tier of HBO Max in the United States for a month beginning on that same date. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances and visuals but criticism for the writing and recasting of characters.

Plot

Neo, who died in the previous work, was connected to the Matrix for a long time after being revived by a machine, and was made to live as Thomas A. Anderson after being convinced that his memory as Neo was the story of his own game.

Thomas A. Anderson suffered from hallucinations and lived in San Francisco with a large prescription of blue pills to stabilize his mind from a psychiatric analyst (therapist). He is a global game designer belonging to Deus Makina, and is currently developing a game called "Binary", and in the past he made a big hit with the trilogy game "Matrix". In the "Matrix" trilogy, the main character Neo saved humanity in exchange for his own life and the story was completed, but under pressure from the parent company Warner Brothers, he was forced to produce "Matrix 4". .. As a result, the colleague's meeting is very exciting, saying that there is no "reboot" or "remake", and maybe "Matrix 5" may be created. However, Thomas A. Anderson was reluctant to resume the completed series.

One day, Thomas A. Anderson went to a cafe called SIMULATTE with a colleague, and when a colleague called out to a woman with a child named Tiffany who had entered the store from the bottom of his heart, Tiffany introduced Thomas A. Anderson. Tiffany wished for a reunion.

Another day, when we meet again at the same cafe and have a conversation, Tiffany has a family and is raising children, and Gugu knows that Thomas A. Anderson is a game designer and single. matter. In addition, Tiffany said that he started riding a motorcycle influenced by the Trinity of "The Matrix", but they did not remember who they really were.

Later, when Thomas A.

Cast

Main article: List of Matrix series characters

Chad Stahelski, who worked as a stunt co-ordinator in previous films, plays "Handsome Chad". Additionally, Christina Ricci, Telma Hopkins, Ellen Hollman and Andrew Caldwell have been cast in undisclosed roles.[22][23][24][25] Tom Hardy filmed an uncredited background cameo appearance, due to The Matrix Resurrections filming in San Francisco simultaneously with Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), in which Hardy starred as Eddie Brock / Venom. However, Henwick speculates whether Hardy's appearance remained in the final cut or not.[26]

Production

Development

I couldn't have my mom and dad… yet suddenly I had Neo and Trinity, arguably the two most important characters in my life. It was immediately comforting to have these two characters alive again, and it's super-simple. You can look at it and say: 'Okay, these two people die, and okay, bring these two people back to life, and oh, doesn't that feel good?' Yeah, it did! It's simple, and this is what art does and this is what stories do. They comfort us and they're important.

The origins of The Matrix Resurrections story, as described by director Lana Wachowski[27]

While making the Matrix films, the Wachowskis told their close collaborators that they, at the time, had no intention of making another film in the series after The Matrix Revolutions (2003).[28] Instead, they gave their blessing to the notion of gamers "inherit[ing] the storyline", and The Matrix Online video game was billed as the official continuation.[29] Rumors of a new installment began to circulate online in 2011 when it was reported that the Wachowskis had been planning two additional films in the series and had discussions with Keanu Reeves about reprising his role.[30] Another rumor in 2014 claimed that the sisters had submitted a story treatment for a new Matrix trilogy to Warner Bros.[31] These were later confirmed to be false.[32]

In February 2015, in interviews promoting Jupiter Ascending (2015), Lilly Wachowski called a return to The Matrix (1999) a "particularly repelling idea in these times" when studios preferred to green-light sequels, reboots, and adaptations over original material,[33] while Lana Wachowski, addressing rumors about a potential reboot, said they had not heard anything but believed the studio might be looking to replace them.[34] At various times, Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving each confirmed their interest and willingness to reprise their roles in potential future installments of the Matrix films, with the stipulation that the Wachowskis were involved in the creative and production process.[35][36]

In March 2017, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Warner Bros. was in the early stages of developing a relaunch of the franchise, with Zak Penn in talks to write a treatment, and interest in getting Michael B. Jordan attached to star. The Wachowskis were not involved at that stage, although the studio had hoped for their blessing. The notion of a reboot or remake was denounced by Penn, and ideas for stories set in the already established universe were explored, including, reportedly, a prequel film about a young Morpheus or a sequel film from a descendant of his.[37] In March 2018, Penn said he was working on a revival of the franchise and teased the possibility of an expanded universe.[38] Penn clarified in October 2019 that he had been working on one of two Matrix projects at Warner Bros., and that his work was separate from the planned film.[39] Penn's film didn't go ahead in favor of Wachowski's film; Jada Pinkett Smith later reflected that handing the franchise's legacy to other filmmakers would have been a "horrendous mistake".[9]

Pre-production

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II replaces Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus

As explained by Lana Wachowski during the Berlin International Literature Festival 2021, Warner Bros. constantly approached the Wachowskis every year to make another Matrix sequel, but the Wachowskis always declined the offers out of a lack of interest and because of their feelings that the trilogy's story had concluded. However, in 2019, Ron and Lynne Wachowski, the Wachowskis' parents, passed away alongside a close friend of Lana's, with her father passing away first, her friend second and her mother third. After not being able to process that kind of grief, Lana suddenly conceived the story of The Matrix Resurrections one sleepless night. In her words, Wachowski felt that while she couldn't have her parents back, she then could have Neo and Trinity back, feeling very comforted to see them alive again.[27]

The film was officially announced by Warner Bros. on August 20, 2019. Lana Wachowski returned as sole director, with Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss confirmed to reprise their roles. The script was written by Wachowski, David Mitchell, and Aleksandar Hemon, who had previously written the series finale of Sense8 together.[5][40][41] The Wachowskis also previously directed the 2012 film adaptation of Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas. Lilly Wachowski was not involved with the film due to work on the Showtime series Work in Progress, but gave her blessing to those involved to come up with a story even "better than the original".[42] She further elaborated by stating that she needed time away from the industry to "reconnect with myself as an artist and I did that by going back to school and painting and stuff", in addition to being emotionally affected by the passing of her parents.[43] John Toll was hired to serve as cinematographer that same month. Toll was cinematographer on the Wachowskis' films Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending and Sense8.[44]

The film's press release states that The Matrix Resurrections is a direct sequel to the story established in the first film.[45] This has led to some confusion among fans, who wonder if this means that Resurrections is still a sequel to the original Matrix trilogy or if it works as a sequel to only The Matrix, ignoring the events of the second and third films.[46] Despite this, the first official trailer briefly shows Neo's human body is still blinded from the events of Revolutions,[47] with Mitchell confirming shortly afterwards that Resurrections takes place twenty years after that film.[4] Mitchell also elaborated that the film isn't "yet another sequel" and subverts the rules of Hollywood's blockbusters, yet contains references to the original Matrix trilogy.[48]

Casting

Reeves and Moss were confirmed to be reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity upon the film's announcement in August 2019.[5] In October 2019, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was cast in the film, with some sources speculating he would be playing a young Morpheus, while Neil Patrick Harris was added in an undisclosed role.[49][50] Following the first trailer's release, Abdul-Mateen II confirmed that he was indeed playing the role of Morpheus.[7] Laurence Fishburne, who portrayed Morpheus in the original trilogy, announced in August 2020 that he was not asked to reprise his role as Morpheus.[51] Pinkett Smith entered negotiations to reprise her role as Niobe, with Jessica Henwick entering negotiations to join in an undisclosed role,[52][53] later revealed as Bugs.[12] Henwick was being considered by The Walt Disney Company to audition for a role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) at the same time she was offered to audition for the part of Bugs; in what she described a "red-pill/blue-pill moment" for her, Henwick chose Resurrections over Shang-Chi.[9] Jada Pinkett-Smith and Jessica Henwick were confirmed in December, along with the additions of Jonathan Groff and Toby Onwumere;[54][55]

In January 2020, Eréndira Ibarra was cast, with Priyanka Chopra entering final negotiations.[56][57] That same month, Lambert Wilson, who played the Merovingian in the sequels, revealed he was in negotiations to return.[58] Hugo Weaving, who starred in the franchise as Agent Smith, was originally approached to reprise his role, but he had scheduling conflicts with his involvement in Tony Kushner's theatrical adaptation of The Visit, leading Wachowski to conclude that the dates would not work after staying in touch with Weaving for a while.[59][60] Weaving was later confirmed to be appearing in the film, but through archive footage from the original trilogy,[61] while Groff was confirmed to have been cast as Smith in December 2021, replacing Weaving.[13] Chopra and Wilson's castings were confirmed in February, along with the additions of Andrew Caldwell, Brian J. Smith and Ellen Hollman.[19][62][63][64] After some speculation, Chopra was revealed to be playing Sati in the film; the character was previously portrayed by Tanveer K. Atwal in Revolutions.[17]

Joe Pantoliano, who appeared in the first film as Cypher, expressed interest in April 2020 in reprising his role despite his character's death in the first installment and messaged Lana Wachowski about the possibility of bringing him back, but received no response from her.[65] In September 2020, it was announced Daniel Bernhardt was reprising his role as Agent Johnson from The Matrix Reloaded (2003).[20] Christina Ricci was announced as part of the cast in June 2021; she had previously worked with the Wachowskis on Speed Racer (2008).[66] Telma Hopkins was also announced to be part of the cast in September 2021.[23] In December 2021, less than a week before the film's premiere, Henwick confirmed to have filmed a scene with a background cameo appearance of Tom Hardy, as Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) was being filmed simultaneously with Resurrections, though it's currently unclear if Hardy's appearance was kept in the finished film.[26] After the film's Toronto premiere, it was confirmed that Chad Stahelski, who served a stunt co-ordinator in the previous films, appeared in the film as "Handsome Chad".[67]

Filming

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss film a motorcycle scene in the Financial District of San Francisco under the direction of Lana Wachowski.

Under the code name "Project Ice Cream", the film began production in San Francisco on February 4, 2020.[62][68][69] Filming also took place at Babelsberg Studio in Germany, and in Chicago.[70][69] Filming in San Francisco caused irritation amongst residents and city workers after damage was inflicted to buildings and street lights.[71] As in the case of other productions like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the producers had to pay $420,000 to the San Francisco Police Department so they could film in the city.[72] As opposed to other productions, no second unit was needed during the action sequences as Wachowski directed all the scenes herself.[73] Scott Rogers, a stunt performer who worked with Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2022), was hired to be the film's stunt coordinator.[9]

On March 16, 2020, production on the film was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[74] After filming was halted, Wachowski contemplated the possibility of never finishing the film and letting it "go down as an incomplete legendary film not meant to be seen by anyone". However, the cast insisted Wachowski return and finish the film until Wachowski complied.[75] On August 16, 2020, Keanu Reeves confirmed filming had resumed in Berlin.[76] Principal photography wrapped on November 11, 2020.[77]

Music

In September 2021, Warner Bros. confirmed that Johnny Klimek and Tom Tykwer would be scoring the film, having previously collaborated with Wachowski on Sense8 and Cloud Atlas,[78] replacing Don Davis, who composed the score for the first three films. The song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane is prominently featured in the trailer.[79][80] Wachowski said the choice of "White Rabbit" for the trailer not only was in reference to the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland elements that The Matrix had previously used and which "White Rabbit" is based on, but also a nod to Jefferson Airplane themselves which was formed as a house band for The Matrix club in San Francisco.[81] The second trailer featured an eletronic/orchestral rendition of the song "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine, which featured prominently at the end of the first Matrix film.[82]

The film's score was released on December 17, 2021. A track from the album titled "Neo and Trinity Theme (Johnny Klimek & Tom Tykwer Exomorph Remix)" was released as a single on December 10.[83]

Marketing

On August 24, 2021, the title was revealed as The Matrix Resurrections.[84] A trailer was screened as part of Warner Bros.' panel at CinemaCon that day, featuring a meeting between Neo and Trinity.[84] Ahead of the film's first official trailer being released on September 9, 2021, the movie's official website was updated on September 7, presenting random clips of the trailer to the user and narration based on their time of day.[85][86] A second trailer was released on December 6, 2021.[87]

A tie-in interactive tech demo titled The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience, based on Unreal Engine 5, was released by Epic Games for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S during The Game Awards 2021.[88]

Release

The Matrix Resurrections had its world premiere on December 16, 2021, in Toronto, Canada and its premiere in the United States at the Castro Theater in San Francisco on December 18, 2021.[89][90] The film was initially set for release on May 21, 2021, which would have premiered alongside John Wick: Chapter 4 also starring Keanu Reeves.[91] However, the film was postponed to April 1, 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[92] The film was then moved back to December 22, 2021.[93] The film is set to be the final film from Warner Bros. Pictures to have a simultaneous 30-day release on the HBO Max streaming service which was used in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[94]

Reception

Box office

In December 2021, Boxoffice Pro estimated that the film would earn $35–50 million in its opening weekend and $95–135 million for its total domestic box office gross.[95]

The film debuted second in Russia ($3.9 million), first in Japan ($3.9 million), and first in Thailand ($794,000). Its opening gross was 8% above 2021's Eternals and 12% over 2020's Tenet. The film is slated to expand to 69 countries outside the U.S. and Canada in its second weekend.[96]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 71%, with an average score of 6.50/10, based on 116 reviews.[97] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 37 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[98]

The Independent gave the film 4 out of 5 and wrote "The Matrix Resurrections ends with a literal call to the powers of sentimentality, empowerment and freedom – it ponders whether humanity finds any value in them which, in turn, seems to really ask whether audiences still have any interest in blockbusters of this purity and ambition. For my own stake, at least, I hope they do."[99] Gizmodo praised the film saying "Resurrections is an excellent Matrix sequel that knows what you think you want in a Matrix sequel, and gives it to you in ways you aren’t expecting. Sometimes those things don’t work, but mostly they do, and as a result I’m confident to say: The Matrix is back."[100] The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 and wrote "Really, Resurrections doesn’t do much to remove the anticlimax that hung like a cloud over the cinema auditorium at the end of the third film in 2003. This movie is set up to initiate a possible new series, but there is no real creative life in it. Where the original film was explosively innovatory, this is just another piece of IP, an algorithm of unoriginality."[101] The Verge also gave the film a negative review praising the performances and visuals but criticized the writing, characterization and recasting of characters and felt that "Resurrection Centers Neo And Trinity's Love Story But In A Disjointed And Frustrating Way" while also writing "The Matrix Resurrections warned me its existence was a bad idea, and I kept watching anyway. I really have nobody but myself to blame."[102] The Times called it "another truly horrible sequel" in a one-star review, criticising its what it called its creative shallowness, similarity to previous Matrix films, level of self-referentiality, and the quality of its action sequences.[103]

The new trailer parallels the key moment where Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus first offers Neo the red pill. Fishburne is not one of the franchise's returnees though, so instead we see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a new version of Morpheus who prescribes Neo the fated reality warper.

Retrieved September 9, 2021. After the release of the trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, many long-time fans of the franchise have pondered what role Yahya Abdul-Mateen II would be playing, given his eerily similar appearance to Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus. Fans can now rest easy (or not, depending on your perspective), as the Candyman star has confirmed on Instagram that he is, in fact, taking over the role of Morpheus for the franchise's fourth installment.
