“I remember Keanu and his first line,“Yahya Abdul-Mateen recently said of working with Keanu Reeveson the movie, via THR. “I looked up, and there was Keanu, and I said, ‘Oh shit, I’m really inThe Matrix,’ It was just Keanu in that voice. And the technology that Lana incorporated and the filmmaking, camera rigs that I’ve never seen before. It’s so ambitious. It was really interesting to be makingThe Matrix 4at a time when the world was so warped and when reality was so distorted. It could creep in a little bit if you let it.”
Lana Wachowski, who co-directed the original trilogy with sister Lilly, is helmingThe Matrix Resurrectionssolo. She also co-wrote the script with David Mitchell and Aleksander Hemon and produced with Grant Hill. Lilly recently explained why she wasn’t involved at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour virtual panel, and it comes down to simply feeling far too exhausted after so many other projects to take on something as big asThe Matrix 4.
“I got out of my transition and was just completely exhausted because we had madeCloud AtlasandJupiter Ascending, and the first season ofSense8back-to-back-to-back,” Lilly said. “We were posting one, and prepping the other at the exact same time. So you’re talking about three 100-plus days of shooting for each project, and so, coming out and just being completely exhausted, my world was like, falling apart to some extent even while I was like, you know, cracking out of my egg. So I needed this time away from this industry. I needed to reconnect with myself as an artist and I did that by going back to school and painting and stuff.”
