Lana Wachowski to Write and Direct All-New Film Set in the World of The Matrix, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss to Reprise Their Roles(August 20, 2019 Burbank, CA) Lana Wachowski the co-creator of the record-breaking and genre-defining world of The Matrix is set to write, direct and produce an all-new film, returning audiences to the reality-bending universe. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will star in the film, reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively. Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will produce and globally distribute the film. The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

We could not be more excited to be re-entering The Matrix with Lana, said Emmerich. Lana is a true visionary a singular and original creative filmmaker and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in The Matrix universe.

Many of the ideas Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now, said Wachowski. Im very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends.

Wachowski is producing the film together with Grant Hill. The screenplay is by Wachowski, Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell.

The three previous films The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003) have earned more than $1.6 billion at the global box office and were all top-10 domestic hits in their respective years of release. The Matrix Revolutions was also the first film ever to release simultaneously in every major country at the same hour around the world.

Special 20th-Anniversary screenings of The Matrix are being held at select AMC Theatres locations across the U.S., starting August 30.

Wachowski is represented by WME, Circle of Confusion and attorney Peter Grossman. Reeves is represented by WME and Ziffren Brittenham. Moss is represented by WME, longtime manager Elizabeth Hodgson and attorney Bob Lange.
