The first glimpse of The Matrix 4 has been revealed! Well, make that the newly titled The Matrix: Resurrections.
From EW:
The long-gestating installment, which sees Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss back in their roles as Neo and Trinity, has been kept under wraps, but a first look was unveiled at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
- The trailer opens with Reeves, going by his pre-Matrix name Thomas Anderson, speaking with his therapist, played by Neil Patrick Harris. “Am I crazy?” he asks. “We don’t use that word in here,” Harris’ character replies.
- Next, Neo’s saying hello to Trinity (Moss) in a cafe. “Have we met?” she asks. They don’t seem to remember each other.
- He’s later shown taking pills and looking at himself in a mirror as Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” plays. Something is clearly off about his reality, and he knows it. Blue pills pour into the sink, and Neo sees a vision of himself turning into an old man in the mirror. A blue-haired woman tells Neo that if he wants the truth, he’ll have to follow her.
- Then comes the action: We get all the jumping, twisting, slow-motion martial arts, and gravity-defying acrobatics synonymous with the franchise. Newcomer to the Matrixverse Yahya Abdul-Mateen II fights with Keanu, leading to an energy explosion.
Directed by a solo Lana Wachowski, who co-directed and co-wrote the first three Matrix installments with sister Lilly Wachowski, the film will also feature Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The Matrix: Resurrections will premiere Dec. 22.
