Just keep the Wachowskis away from it please. They are not good directors. They made one good movie and have been coasting ever since.
Because they have shown time and time again that the first film was a fluke. And I say this as someone who legitimately loved the first film. It was one of my all time greatest cinema experiences ever and every follow up was a let down and their other movies aren't good either.It's their franchise. Why would you want some rando to take it over? Especially some rando for hire who just does whatever the studio wants?

At this point I would be more excited for an M Night Shyamalan lead Matrix than the Wachowskis
Can't be worse than the last one, so sure why not.
Looking forward to something new.
It sure felt like it. It was sadomasochistic.Wasn't Resurrections just the Wachowskis saying fuck you to Warner Bros and proving why a Matrix sequel is dumb?
I liked a few of those things but none of that is what I'm looking for in a Matrix movie thoughDrew Goddard's resume is not to be taken lightly. The guy was a writer on Buffy/Lost/Daredevil/Cloverfield/Cabin in the Woods/World War Z and the showrunner/executive producer on Daredevil S1. He's both writing and directing this new movie.
I'm not even the biggest Drew Goddard fan, but watch just one thing he's done or read the story of how he even got the gig instead of writing him off in your head based on next to nothing.It's their franchise.

I would argue the Matrix is nothing without them, and just hiring some generic action bro director will make that abundantly clear.

Your posts make as much sense as me saying James Wan would be a bad fit for Star Trek because all he does is romantic comedies and we're literally going "what are you even talking about?"I'm aware of his filmography. Nothing he's done makes me think he's a good fit for the Matrix.

About to be the most one sided avatar bet thread in the history of this site.
It needs to be an anti-movie like the last one or there's no point.
At the end of the day, the perspective the movie is filtered through is more important to me personally than the action. I don't give a shit about the fights if there is no philosophical or outsider core at the heart of the story. I can get dumb fights anywhere. I come to the Matrix for more than that.
This sounds like half of the Animatrix entries. Lol.And I think a lot of people's ideas of The Matrix just boils down to cool fights with cool looking people, with a little dash of "you are the special chosen one" thrown in so they can pretend they are Neo.
Not at all a profound observation, I'm sure, but -- I genuinely had no idea the last movie was so divisive. I thought it was quite good, and is easily my second favorite after the first one.
People mostly just care about labels and aesthetic. They want something that's called The Matrix and looks a lot like The Matrix but indulges all their cool ideas they created in their heads as a response to seeing The Matrix. They do not care about anyone else's perspective unless it matches their own.
