So is this basically the first movie again? More power to them if it makes a lot of money and I'm glad Carrie Ann Moss is back from Hollywood's middle aged limbo, but this doesn't hint at a new story.

I feel the last scene does hint at a new story; finding out why he/they went back in. Definitely leaning hard on the original in the trailer though.

Maybe the last several years of blockbusters have put my expectations in the toilet, but this looks way more appealing than I'd expected. The angle they seem to be going for is that Neo and Trinity were somehow re-inserted into the Matrix and don't remember their past lives or it's some kind of new iteration of the Matrix/alternate timeline where there are ghosts in the machine because the events of the previous version weren't totally overwritten. You can do a lot of neat character work with that framing so it's promising at least. Keanu shines as an actor when he's unsure and in a haze like the first Matrix or A Scanner Darkly so it's a smart decision.

Yeah, right now at least it looks pretty appealing to me based on that. They get to hit some of the story beats that worked in the first movie, but with the added layer of deja vu on top because both they and the audience have already experienced the first movies. It's an interesting take and will hopefully get away from some of the pitfalls of the second and third movies by getting back to a smaller story about a few people engaging with the Matrix/reality conundrum

anyway it looks like it'll be free on HBO Max so there's no reason not to watch it

I'll reserve judgement, ultimately, and I'm not going to pretend I won't see it, but I don't think it's a great sign that one of the Wachowskis chose to bow out of getting involved with this one.

quote:

"[Lana] had come up with this idea for another Matrix movie, and we had this talk, and it was actually — we started talking about it in between [our] dad dying and [our] mom dying, which was like five weeks apart," Lilly said. "And there was something about the idea of going backward and being a part of something that I had done before that was expressly unappealing. And, like, I didn't want to have gone through my transition and gone through this massive upheaval in my life, the sense of loss from my mom and dad, to want to go back to something that I had done before, and sort of [walk] over old paths that I had walked in, felt emotionally unfulfilling, and really the opposite — like I was going to go back and live in these old shoes, in a way. And I didn't want to do that."

I can see it working thematically if Lana really dials into the identity problems that are inherent in the franchise. You have a main character with an innate sense that everything feels wrong/artificial and him coming to grips with yet another identity being foisted upon him. Then even that doesn't actually reflect reality, and he can only find peace by reconciling all these disparate aspects of himself and the world. If this is a new iteration of the Matrix program then she could do some neat hauntology stuff too what with this promised revolution/reconciliation between humans and machines having been rolled back. That's a separate theme from the identity stuff but there's a lot to work with.

Sense8 dealt with a lot of these themes really well but mostly I enjoyed that show for how ludicrously expensive it was and how attractive the cast was

given her express opinions on the subject I don’t think Lana’s going to portray “taking the red pill” as some unambiguously good thing. I think it could be presented along the lines of another betrayal/trick or false hope/false binary. something like this maybe

As said, both are criminals. And there's explicitly a scene where Harley goes over the reasons Black Mask would want to kill her just on principle and that she voted for Bernie Sanders is one of them

And Black Mask is a somewhat Bateman-esque wealthy corporate freakjob, despite being coded as extremely misogynistic I find the idea of him being a hardcore #StillWithHer both plausible and hilarious
