‘The Matrix Resurrections’ Would Have Moved On Without Lana Wachowski If She Didn’t Volunteer To Direct

If you’ve watched The Matrix Resurrections, you might remember a scene where the character Smith (played by Jonathan Groff) takes a jab at Warner Bros possibly leaving Lana and Lilly Wachowski (the originators of The Matrix franchise) behind to direct another Matrix film. Well, turns out that’s not just hyperbole.

In a recent interview with Collider, Resurrections producer James McTeigue admits that WB had plans to assign a different director. McTeigue has worked on all the Matrix films and stated that the “money making capability” of a fourth Matrix film meant there was “always talk.” However, when Lana Wachowski jumped at the chance to direct, the studio quickly said yes, it just made sense to have the original director on board.

“Look. I think when you’ve had a franchise with that much potential money making capability, there’s always talk. It’s in the same way that the Marvel universe repeats and turns in on itself, or you have Spider-Man, or you have Iron Man, or Thor,” said McTeigue. “There’s always potential to update those movies just because of the possibility of making the money and telling new stories. I shouldn’t say it’s just a purely fiscal thought. But yeah, look, there was versions out there, but they hadn’t landed on the right version. So when Lana eventually came back around and said, “Look. I’m interested in making another movie,” of course, they went with the filmmaker who was the genesis of the Matrix.”

Since the release of The Matrix Resurrections in theaters and on HBO Max, the critical and fan reception has been mixed. Despite this, WB wants to keep the franchise going with a fifth movie and they want Lana Wachowski to return as confirmed by the studio’s CEO Ann Sarnoff.

The Matrix Resurrections stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jonathan Groff.

Christ. They aren't even trying to pretend like they have any artistic integrity.

Hmm. Was Total Recall also a metaphor for troonism?

Would it really have been much of a loss? Despite all the hamhanded throwbacks, the movie feels so differently shot and directed that it barely resembles the original product.

This is such bullshit. You can't just leave things alone anymore. You can't make new things anymore. You just have to wring it and keep raping its corpse until it's unrapable.

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

The real shock is that anything had any hope for this godawful movie after anything past the original film.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Watching the Drinker's review, I have to simply marvel at how cheap the movie looks.
The most annoying thing is how it abuses the "cyan/yellow" color scheme in almost every scene. And the CGI effects look way worse than the ones in the OG Matrix (particularly those copied directly from the OG Matrix)

I pirated it, and it's absolute dogshit; the quality of the CGI is really bad. It looks like a crappy cartoon.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Can't wait for all the "you're a transphobe if you didn't go see Matrix Resurrections" articles.

I haven't seen anything like that. Either Warner Bros has no real pull with the wider media, or the kind of people who got overly excited about Ghostbusters 2016 / Black Panther / The Last Jedi for political reasons don't give a fuck about The Matrix and the Wachowskis.

Imma guess the latter, because the Matrix was already cold product by 2003 and nobody really wanted another sequel. The Wachowskis are weird perverts, but they're not politically outspoken or plugged into the social justice scene. And there doesn't seem to be much in the way of pandering to contemporary Twitter obsessions in this movie. Even troons don't seem to care about it very much.

I've been trying to imagine how you could make a good Matrix movie, after the first one made that idea narratively redundant and the passage of time made the original cast and the original aesthetic horribly old. Soft reboots are cynical af, but that might have worked better than the current movie.

It’s getting worse that not even Keanu Reeves’ son liked it.

How did they regress so badly in terms of fight scenes.

It’s been a decade and studios are still trying to pull off another MCU.

You call it "John Wick."

I'm assuming Yuen Woo-ping was not involved with this one. He the real MVP from the first movie, not the tranny twins.

 

[LightDragonman1]

I think that is the case

That is correct. He wasn't involved with Resurrections. Not sure why they didn't try to bring him back.

You're probably wondering why I keep appearing in your notifications, John.

This is because I am bored and combing through your activity, distributing hats.

All of your posts have been saved as disordered jpeg complications to teach others about The Trannies.

Hopefully they pull off the Nintendo Cinematic Universe with the Super Mario Movie.

I can't wait till Captain Falcon shows up at the end and tells Mario about the Smash Bros Initiative Tournament.

I'm drunk as fuck right now so my eyes are most likely not working correctly, because this looks like shit, Neo punches like a tired old man who just wants to go home. Hell I could probably go out right now and fight the first drunk I see and the footage of two drunk retards fighting would look more "epic" than this.
