The year of Keanu continues. As Variety reports, The Matrix 4 is officially happening, and it's pulling the old band back together. The film will see series head Lana Wachowski return as writer and director, with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss back as Neo and Trinity.
"Many of the ideas [my sister] Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now," Wachowski said. "I’m very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends."
Not to make this too much about Keanu Reeves, but the actor is having a huge year. Both John Wick 3 and Toy Story 4 were huge successes, plus Reeves' was announced as the leading star in the video game Cyberpunk 2077, a highly anticipated title which deals in many of the same themes as The Matrix series. Furthermore, there was the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, which saw the movie return to cinemas, and Reeves filmed a Bill & Ted sequel. Reevesaissance, anyone?
