TAKE THE BLUE PILL

While he was doing press for John Wick 2 Keanu Reeves said if the Wachowskis were involved he would do a fourth Matrix film. That isn’t likely to happen but it seems that we will reenter the world of the Matrix again. Warner Brothers and X-Men’s Zak Penn are working on a new Matrix film that seems to be a prequel spin-off with Creed’s Michael B. Jordan as a younger version of Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus character. All that has happened so far is Penn has been asked to write a treatment. His framework would then be developed in what has become a common plan for movie studios-a writers’ room. The studio would have a group of writers develop the treatment and then pick the best one with the rejected ideas put off to the side for consideration for future films.
