The Matrix 4 Title Revealed

The title of the fourth installment of The Matrix series has been announced. The Matrix Resurrections will be the first Matrix film since 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions supposedly concluded the story of Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, and the rest of the crew that had escaped the eponymous simulated reality. The trailer for the upcoming Matrix movie was also shown as part of Warner Bros.’ panel at CinemaCon, which showcased a meeting between Neo and Trinity.

While little is known about the fourth Matrix film, we do know that the latest installment will be directed and co-written by Lana Wachowski, while Lilly Wachowski, who previously co-wrote and co-directed the first three films in the series, will not be involved. The film will also be co-written by The Lazarus Project writer Aleksandar Hemon, and David Mitchell, whose book Cloud Atlas was previously adapted into a film of the same name by the Wachowskis.
