“The Matrix Resurrections” will feature original cast members Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.
“I saw the film in Berlin in September. It’s really good,” said co-writer David Mitchell of the film. “I cannot tell you what this film is about, but I could explain what it is not. It’s certainly not yet one more sequel, but something autonomous that contains the three Matrix that preceded in a really ingenious way. It’s a very beautiful and weird creation. It also achieved a couple of things that we do not see in action films, meaning it subverts the rules of blockbusters.”
