A still from Matrix
Sci-fi classic Matrix is getting a fifth instalment, Warner Bros announced yesterday. The film will be directed by Drew Goddard, while former co-director-writer Lana Wachowski is set to serve as an executive producer. The plot details are still under wraps and it is not clear whether the original cast will return.
“Drew came to Warner Bros with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honouring what Lana and Lilly began over 25 years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters,” said Jesse Ehrman, the president of production at Warner Bros in a statement.
