Another Matrix movie is in the works. Warner Bros. greenlit the fifth part of the saga, . However, neither Lana Wachowski nor Lilly Wachowski will be directing. That honor goes to matchmaker Drew Goddard Martian turned into a script and was criminally underrated Cabin in the woods. He also writes the script.
Goddard cut his teeth writing episodes Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and lost, among others — you can tell he knows his way around genre content. Lana Wachowski will be on board as an executive producer, so one of the franchise’s original creators will have some input.
There’s no word on what the film will be about, but Warner Bros. says Goddard came to the company with “a new idea that we all believe will be an incredible way to continue the world of The Matrix.” Goddard added that original films inspire him on a daily basis, and that he is “more than grateful for the chance to tell stories” in this world.
Warner Bros. is also tight-lipped about which cast members, if any, will return. The original trilogy starred Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving and Jada Pinkett Smith. Most of these actors are back in 2021 Matrix Resurrectionswith one story-based exception.
when talking about Matrix Resurrections, received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. We loved the film, going so far as to call it brilliant, but we admit it . That’s par for the course with this franchise. Every Matrix movie after the first movie is a divisive one. We’ll have to wait and see what Goddard brings to the table.
He is also writing a film adaptation of another novel Martian writer Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary It will be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and will star Ryan Gosling as an astronaut trying to save the planet from a star-eating microbe.
