The marketing for The Matrix Resurrections is making it clear that this long-awaited sequel is going to contain plenty of the large scale action fans expect to see in a Matrix movie – and now a featurette has arrived online to let us know that the love story between Neo and Trinity, played by returning stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, is also going to receive a good amount of attention in the new film. You can watch this featurette in the embed above.
The Matrix Resurrections is headed for a December 22 theatrical and HBO Max release.
Directed by Lana Wachowski from a screenplay she wrote with Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell, the film has the following synopsis:
Return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. And if Thomas…Neo…has learned anything, it’s that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of—or into—the Matrix. Of course, Neo already knows what he has to do. But what he doesn’t yet know is the Matrix is stronger, more secure and more dangerous than ever before. Déjà vu.
Reeves and Moss are joined in the cast by fellow returning stars Jada Pinkett Smith and Daniel Bernhardt, as well as franchise newcomers Jessica Henwick, Christina Ricci, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Eréndira Ibarra, Jonathan Groff, Andrew Caldwell, Ellen Hollman, Brian J. Smith, Max Riemelt, and Chris Sean Reid.
Wachowski, Grant Hill, and James McTeigue produced The Matrix Resurrections, while Terry Needham, Garrett Grant, and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.
Lana Wachowski wrote and directed the initial Matrix trilogy with her sister Lilly Wachowski, but Lilly is not involved with this one.
