Keanu Reeves Talks Matrix 4 & 5!

[ashkan]

Hi guys,

Hope you're feeling better Harry, get well soon!

Long time reader, occasional news feeder. Writing from rainy old London, England. Surprised that no one has commented on this, lucky me I guess. Was lucky enough to attend a key note speech at the London school of performing Arts university and was honoured to be in the same room as Keanu Reeves who was the guest of honour. Keanu was here promoting his new movie Henry's Crime which is opening shortly.

keanu as always was his kind gentle self and spoke to the class for a good 45 mins about his big break in acting and his love for Shakespeare. the floor was then opened for Q&A and the following was note worthy;

- Says he's prepping a action movie around the world of the samurai and that it will be a hard "R" rated 3D action feast that will deliver some great martial art set pieces. he's into 2 months of a 6 month training programme.

- Spoke briefly about the possibility of Bill and Ted part 3 - ( Audience started laughing) but he assured us he's committed to the project.

this is where the fun begins. Some great info shared with us good people.....

- Says he met the Wachowski's (no emphasis on the word brothers), for lunch over Christmas and stated that they had completed work on a two picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of the matrix as Neo. Says the brothers have met with Jim Cameron to discuss the pro's and con's of 3D and are looking to deliver something which has never been seen again. keanu stated that he still has an obligation to the fans to deliver a movie worthy of the title "The Matrix" and he swears this time that the treatment will truly revolutionise the action genre like the first movie. Wachowski's are working on a movie called "Cloud Atlas" at the moment, once that concludes they will talk again.

- Keanu spoke about the need to encourage writers to continue to focus on working on new ideas and that a good script was worth its weight in gold. For example he said the Wachowski's had just sold the most expensive script in history to Warner Brothers. a modern futuristic take on the legend of "Robin Hood". Says he understands WB paid $5 million for the rights and that from what the wachowski's have told him, it will be an action movie that would have the same impact visually and technically that Terminator 2 had. Confirmed that Will Smith has agreed ti headline the picture.

that was pretty much it guys, have to give kudos to Mr Reeves. A true gentleman and an esquire.

can't wait for the above to come to fruition. If you use this please refer to me as "El-Nino".

Peace out gents.....

Guys.




We need to kill, Keanu Reeves.

[Apollo]

I'll have expectations, which is not a good thing.

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but:

UPDATE: Screenrant is reporting that this whole story is a hoax. "The Senior Administrator for the London International School of Performing Arts informed me that Keanu Reeves made no appearance there." So consider this one debunked!

[Mika]

^ Thank heavens .......

Like ok I'm a big Matrix fan of all 3 movies .... but even I would find a fourth and fifth unnecessary and ridiculous!

[Eltu]

I definitely agree.

Love all 3 Matrix movies - but I really wouldn't like a 4th or 5th one

[Human No More]

Heard it and thought 'don't know if want'. At least now the sequels are still the worst the series will go

[Isard]

Uh...


Is it a bad time to mention.... Yeah.


I didn't know it was a hoax so...

so this the 20th Anniversary of Matrix (1999) and i am going to see it in the theater again on August 30th! yippee!

huge news yesterday is that Village Roadshow is making Matrix 4 in 2020, with all of the original producers, tech crew, lighting, stunt people, set dressers, production staff, and one of the Wackowskis as Director. it's all happening! Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss are returning, as well!

Not exactly thrilled with this. Most people didn't really like the Matrix sequels and weren't really clamoring for another one. This makes little sense as both Trinity and Neo died in Matrix 3. You could make an argument that maybe Neo didn't really die, but Trinity certainly did. There's basically only one thing that would make me go see this movie: If it was revealed that the "real" world we had seen for the entire trilogy was actually part of the Matrix. Nobody had ever actually escaped before until Trinity and Neo.

Imagine that. Morpheus is the leader of Zion, he thinks he's leading humanity into it's rebirth, helping people escape the Matrix into the real world only to find out it was never real. There are a couple of things in the Matrix trilogy that would be explained by this.

1. Given the absence of plant life, Earth would be uninhabitable.
2. Given how deep Earth has solidified (instead of being molten), it's highly unlikely Earth still has a molten core. Meaning there's nothing protecting us from radiation from space. Meaning Earth is double-y uninhabitable.
3. Neo has superpowers in the "real" world at the end of Matrix Reloaded and in Matrix Revolutions. He could destroy the sentinels, could see Agent Smith despite being blind and somehow found his way into the train station. None of that makes much sense unless he's not actually in the real world.

What if the world of Zion was the solution The Oracle came up with? To create a fake "real" world for people to escape to and believe in and a big bad enemy (machine city) for humanity to rally against while they're still safely in their pods providing electricity (that part actually doesn't make any sense either, but I don't know what the replacement reason would be as to why the Matrix exists in the first place).

I think that could be a powerful message. That so many people were taking the "red pill" to learn "the truth", but in the end the "truth" they learned was just another system of control meant to continue to enslave them.
