OMG, Really? We were hoping for a follow up to the original Matrix films to find out what happened to Neo and if he was put back in The Matrix. Now we are hearing that Warner Bros. Pictures is in the works on a Matrix reboot?
Why? Is nothing safe from being rebooted in Hollywood? Find out what’s going on about The Matrix…
CelebNMovies247.com has learned some disturbing news about The Matrix being rebooted over at Warner Bros. Pictures.
The Matrix was a game-changing sci-fi action movie for a number of reasons. The introduction of slow-motion bullet time action sequences to an original mind-blowing narrative that audiences became obsessed with. The movie is the matriarch for films that now use the techniques and style of the Matrix in today’s films.
The reboot to us would work only if we go forward with the progression of the films intent. To fast forward to a new time where Neo has to be reinserted into The Matrix to save mankind again, but maybe this time the path of the one is a completely different. Maybe Neo is a woman and Trinity is a man? Or Neo is black and Trinity Latina? If you watched the Matrix Animated film then you would know that Neo and Trinity have to come back as they have time after time. But even in the animated version, Neo and Trinity didn’t always succeed?
If NOT that, then how about a prequel to the original. How Morpheus became the visionary or even back to the evolution of the Matrix, when man fought robots and they killed us off and made us into human batteries.
Hopefully it’s worth the big bucks.
We just got word that The Matrix reboot being in the very early stage of development, with X-Men: The Last Stand and Ready Player One scribe Zak Penn in talks to write the initial treatment for whatever this project will be. However, original franchise creators Lilly and Lana Wachowski (who went by Andy and Larry Wachowski at the time The Matrix was made) are not currently involved in the project, and any potential involvement has yet to be determined.
Though the Wachowskis aren’t yet being brought in to help develop the project yet, it sounds like Warner Bros. would like to leave the door open for them to be involved. Reportedly, franchise producer Joel Silver came to Warner Bros. with the idea of bringing back The Matrix, but the studio is hesitant to have him involved for both his penchant for creating problems with the film’s budget, not to mention having a tense relationship with the Wachowskis. They likely wouldn’t be as hesitant if they didn’t want the Wachowskis to come on board at some point.
Beyond that, there are rumblings of Warner Bros. being interested in Michael B. Jordan starring in the movie, but since the project is in such an early stage of development, anything can happen before it’s actually heading towards production.
Thoughts?
