It’s been nearly two decades since the Matrix story came to an end with 2003’s double-whammy of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. In the meantime, the Wachowskis went on to make all kinds of fascinating projects in their singular creative voice, from Speed Racer to Cloud Atlas (co-directed with Tom Tykwer).

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that it’s thrilling, then, to see their cyberpunk saga being booted up once again all these years later for the upcoming Matrix 4, with Lana Wachowski on co-writing and directing duties (Lilly Wachowski has bowed out for now), and original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Mossback in front of the camera.

Reeves, who’ll somehow be back as original trilogy protagonist Neo, also heaped praise on the story and screenplay, suggesting that it’s just as timely as the original film. “Lana Wachowski wrote a beautiful script and a wonderful story that resonated with me,” he says.
