After 14 years, Keanu Reeves might be back in “The Matrix 4.” In fact, the fourth installment of the sci-fi movie series is now in an early stage of discussion. However, although the 52-year-old actor is up to make another chapter of the popular movie franchise, it will only happen under some conditions. In a new interview with the “John Wick: Chapter 2” actor, he revealed what he has in mind to continue doing the film.
The birth of a reboot
The first request of Keanu Reeves to do “The Matrix 4” is the involvement of the Wachowskis. The first three installments of the movie were created by the sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski.
“They would have to write it and direct it. And then we’d see what the story is, but yeah, I dunno, that’d be weird, but why not?” he told Yahoo Movies.
The “Constantine” star also assured that he can easily return alive in the fourth movie. In his explanation, he said that people will indeed die, but stories in general and the characters in it don’t. To recall, in the movie series, Neo died in the war between man and the machines. However, the final scene left an open door for his return.
To prove the claim, Sati asked The Oracle if they will ever see him again, to which she replied that she guessed so and maybe someday. Hence, “The Matrix 4” will be born.
Other details of the making of the fourth film
Meanwhile, sources from The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Warner Bros. is now in the early stage of developing “The Matrix 4” relaunch. As a matter of fact, Zak Penn is now in a discussion to write a “treatment.”
The insider even added that the there is a big possibility that Michael B.
Jordan might join the film, but there will be a lot of things to be done first before they give it the green light. It also has been said that the Wachowskis have no involvement in the film yet and their participation is not yet known.
Although many believe that Warners Bros. should have the blessing of the sisters to continue the series they originally created, the studio has yet to comment.
Also, it is said that Joel Silver, who produced the first three films, talked to the company about a possible new film. But, he already sold his interest in the franchise for $30 million to the studio.
