Get ready to re-enter the Matrix.
Lana Wachowski is set to write and direct a fourth film set in the world of “The Matrix,” with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will produce and globally distribute the film. Warner Bros. Picture Group chairman Toby Emmerich made the announcement on Tuesday.
“We could not be more excited to be re-entering ‘The Matrix’ with Lana,” said Emmerich. “Lana is a true visionary — a singular and original creative filmmaker — and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in ‘The Matrix’ universe.”
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 years to find a way to get back into “The Matrix” universe, but a hold-up over producing rights slowed the project down. Over the past couple of months, the studio saw an opportunity to ramp up development, with Reeves boasting a strong summer that included box office hits “John Wick 3” and “Toy Story 4” and a script from Wachowski that drummed up excitement.
Plot details are currently unknown, as is how the role of Morpheus will be handled, originally played by Laurence Fishburne. Some sources say the role may be recast for a younger take.
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.
“Many of the ideas Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now. I’m very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends,” Wachowski said.
The first “Matrix” had its 20th anniversary this year, marked by special screenings at select AMC locations starting on Aug. 30.
Wachowski is represented by WME, Circle of Confusion and attorney Peter Grossman. Reeves is represented by WME and Ziffren Brittenham. Moss is represented by WME, longtime manager Elizabeth Hodgson and attorney Bob Lange.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6)]Keanu Reeves in San Francisco. (Feb. 5, 2020)[/color]

[color=rgba(13, 13, 13, 0.9)]San Francisco's Chinatown provided the backdrop for a Hollywood film shoot Wednesday.
"Matrix 4" was in town — and so were some of its stars, including beloved actor Keanu Reeves.
Spotted in the area of Kearny and Jackson streets, Reeves came out of the House of Nanking a few times and also walked over to Grasslands. People in the area had their smartphones out, hoping to snap a photo of the star.
"I've been a big fan of him since I was a kid," one fan said. "It was amazing to see him."
The actor had multiple takes on the sidewalks of Chinatown.
"Keanu Reeves was standing right there eating at the Nanking and also having some coffee and of course smoking a cigarette," Jose Tercero said. "It was beautiful."
People trying to get around the city's financial district should expect to face some road closures through the end of the month. Film crews will be flying helicopters as well as simulating gunfire and crash scenes.[/color]

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”
It sounds like [b][url=https://variety.com/t/michelle-obama/]Michelle Obama
[/b] will appear on the final season of “Black-ish.” After star [b]Anthony Anderson[/b] teased the possibility when I caught up with him at the Television Academy’s pre-Emmy party for performer nominees, sources tell me that the former first lady’s appearance isn’t a done deal just yet, but they’re close to finalizing the details any day now.


[b]…[/b]
I’m also hearing that after [b]Keanu Reeves[/b] was seen shooting “The Matrix Resurrections” in the Bay Area, sources tell me that Warner Bros. will hold the film’s U.S. premiere in San Francisco on Dec. 18. Details, including the location, are still being worked on. The fourth installment of the sci-fi film franchise sees the return of Reeves as well as [b]Carrie-Anne Moss[/b]. Directed and co-written by [b]Lana Wachowski[/b], the new cast includes [b]Neil Patrick Harris[/b], [b]Priyanka Chopra Jonas[/b], [b]Christina Ricci[/b] and [b]Jonathan Groff[/b]. “The Matrix Resurrections” will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on Dec. 22.

The fourth installment of the “Matrix” film franchise, and the first in 18 years, is scheduled to make its U.S. premiere at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre on Dec. 18 — four days ahead of its Dec. 22 release in theaters and on HBO Max.
Director Lana Wachowski, who is said to be a fan of the venue, and stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jada Pinkett Smith and Neil Patrick Harris are among those expected to attend the event at the 1,400-seat movie palace that first opened in 1922.

Variety first reported that the premiere would be in San Francisco before a venue was chosen, but a person intimately involved in planning discussions among the Castro Theatre, the city of San Francisco and Warner Bros. confirmed the venue’s participation with The Chronicle on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak about the premiere.
Warner Bros. declined to comment on this story.

Tickets for the premiere are not available to the general public, but there will be a “fan zone” near the red carpet where the public can see the film’s stars in person. There are also plans for a display that involves “outside image projection,” the source said. The Castro and Warner Bros. are in “many conversations” with the city about the logistics of the event, including security and street closures, which would include blocking off Castro Street.
[url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/matrix-resurrections-trailer-quiz/]Chronicle Quiz: Can you name these San Francisco spots from the ‘Matrix Resurrections’ trailer?
The idea for the original “Matrix” (1999), one of the most influential science fiction films of all time, was inspired by San Francisco, and “The Matrix Resurrections” was shot extensively in the city in the months before the pandemic began. Cameras were spotted in Chinatown and North Beach and at a downtown BART station, and some action sequences around Montgomery and Sansome streets involved Reeves and Moss.
The film makes extensive use of “White Rabbit,” a song released in 1967 on the Jefferson Airplane album “Surrealistic Pillow.” The band got its start in San Francisco in 1965 at a club on Fillmore Street called, yes, the Matrix.

I just rewatched The Matrix in case I do that screener on Monday. It all depends on how I'm feeling and where my workload is. 

It holds up surprisingly well. Some things like the Nokia flip phones and the green CRT blinking computer fonts are dated and it moves much more slowly than I remembered, but the action scenes poached from Hong Kong cinema still shine. Yuen Woo Ping did some fine work and the ballistic gunplay was so John Woo, right down to the copter crash. 

I remember thinking it was more metaphoric and I hoped now that Lana has transitioned, there would be more insight into that as part of the metaphor. But no. It's more of a great auctioneer. 

I forgot about the sentinel tentacles. Those were great. 

Keanu is solid in what he does. I didn't appreciate that then as much as I do now. Carrie-Anne is stunning. Lawrence is okay, not as mystical as I remember. And Hugo is way over the top, on the verge of that not working. 

But it's still enjoyable for what it is.
