The Matrix Resurrections

Next yr will see the comer ofThe Matrix 4,and if the movie wrick out to be set in the forward-looking geezerhood , newfangled technology could fundamentally change the way the Matrix itself works . The highly - anticipated sequel to 2003 ’s Matrix Revolutions will reunify Keanu Reeves and Carrie - Anne Moss and is being overseen by Lana Wachowski , who direct the original trilogy with her sister , Lilly . But aside from the plaster bandage and some set pic beforeThe intercellular substance 4was delayed due to coronavirus , prescribed information on the motion picture has been scarce .

At this point , it stay undecipherable whetherThe Matrix 4will feature a simulated existence set in the early 2000s like the original trilogy , or whether the film will update the Matrix to a version set in modern times . While there is speculation the account could be set preponderantly in the dystopian real - world futurity , ground substance 4set picture from San Franciscoall but   guarantee the movie will feature some in - intercellular substance scenes . The interrogation is : what kind of simulated world will that Matrix be , and specificallywhenwill that world be set ?

If the practical existence   ofThe Matrix 4mirrors the world of 2020/21 and its pervasive technology , that could have wide - array implications for how the Matrix itself routine . For instance , previouslyMorpheus – ( perchance recast as Yahya Abdul - Mateen II)and his team go into and exited the Matrix through landline phones . The character would also employ   cell phones as   the primary agency of communicating between the Matrix and the real - populace ' operators ' .

Now , in modern society , the land line is tight becoming out and smartphones have become near - ubiquitous and infinitely more able than the Nokia handset   that populated the world of the late-20th century Matrix . Could the simulation ofThe ground substance 4allow for give-up the ghost through smartphones ? It seems probable , as these days the payphone has give out an emphatic death and unless Neo and Trinity want to incessantly   have to track down down a landline , the exiting method will have to be update . Such a change would counteract much of the tension that arrive from the crew   frantically looking for a landline issue while being pursued by agents , soLana Wachowski ’s " absolutely dotty " plans forMatrix 4will likely require   an alternative source of striking tension for   similar moments .

Whatever the music director is working on , it seems likely the motion-picture show will indeed move off from the bit - of - the - one C cityscapes that characterizedThe Matrixand its two sequels . The original trilogy accost far-flung concern about technology , using the Matrix itself as jolly of a metaphor for the cyberspace . But in the modernistic years , such vexation are no longer as relevant ,   and wireless connectivity and app - driven experience dominate engineering . In a world antecedently defined by landlines and " programme " characters with picky function , the explosion of WiFi , smartphones , and apps will certainly change the human face of the digital world   that is the Matrix simulation .

away from get to change the way masses enter and exit the Matrix , ever - present always - touch base devices could let agent to move more easily around the world of the Matrix and supervise any " seditious " bodily function – even ifHugo Weaving wo n’t be returning as Agent Smith .   Back in 1999 whenThe Matrixwas first unfreeze , personal computer and phones were the only connected devices – providing abundant but still circumscribed points of entry and exit within the Matrix . But in a human race where everything from TVs to fridges are tapped into the entanglement and equipped with their own apps , perhaps the movie will present a Matrix where the heroes , and more importantly antagonists , can materialize anywhere at any point – make for a truly terrific form of all - embrace control and allowingThe Matrix 4to explore the much more relevant New payoff of privacy and surveillance .
