The Matrix 5

[Andrew NDB]

Wachowski-less. Drew Goddard tapped to direct.

Why. The last movie was terrible, felt like a parody. And of course Matrix 3 was never good either and underwhelming. Is Keanu Reeve even going to be in this?

Also the original gimmick of slow moving bullets or being stuck in a virtual world was a novelty back in 1999 but over the last 20+ years its been done to death everywhere. The original "hook" of the Matrix is so common I see it in kids cartoons let alone other movies or sci-fi. Nothing about that stands out anymore.

I haven't bought the Matrix on-disc since HD-DVD. I won't rebuy it until we have the entire thing in some kind of 4k set that includes the Animatrix.

But with that said, an entire set package is the only way I'd buy the 4th movie.

Also Matrix 4 was a bomb, it didn't make any money, it failed financially. The Matrix franchise has, quite literally, not been profitable for over 20 years. Why even bother if it makes no money?

I think the studio still believes in the franchise and maybe less so in the Wachowskis.

Yeah. When these guys have a "franchise" they are compelled to use it.

The only good Matrix movie is the first one....though I would be for a Bill and Ted Matrix Adventure.

I think between 2 and 3 there is maybe 1 good movie in there somewhere with a lot of cutting. With 4... I don't even know what I saw but it wasn't good.

They need to just let the franchise rest in peace. They are tarnishing the legacy of one of the best movies ever made. I bet this one will flop even worse than the last one.

Resurrections was an abomination. But this one is not really without any Wachowski involvement--Lana is still executive producing. And FWIW, Lana was the only one who worked on Resurrections out of the duo as well. Apparently they have a sibling feud, though I'm not sure if that is still ongoing.

Is there even any place for the story to go? Didn't Keany and Trinity become a couple again at the end of the last movie? Is there even any story left to be told, weren't all the machines destroyed or something.

Outside of doing a full reboot there's not much else I can even see happening.

There is always the possible threat of them revealing the real world in The Matrix is actually another Matrix. Like "The Thirteenth Floor" movie.

Yeah like that Rick and Morty episode of a simulation inside of another simulation and so on. It was one of the early ones.

So far, everything Drew Goddard has touched creatively has been golden. If he thinks he can make a suitable Matrix 5, I'm game for sure.

The opportunity is definitely there to make “the best one since the firstl” and spark excitement that way. You really just need to reel things back a bit and bring in a new cast of characters imo.

Of course Neo and the other’s can still play a role but idk that they need to be the focus anymore.
