[The Dark Knight]

The Matrix Resurrections, you say?

I was close.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing the title will be The Matrix Resurrection.

Good title. Fits in with the other sequels and feels right. The obvious choice is usually the best choice.

Not sure how literally to take the "resurrection" thing. But to be totally honest about it, the resurrection bit sounds a lot more appealing to me than the time travel rumors that were floating around at one point. (A) Time travel to bring Neo back somehow just seems cheap and (B) there's rly no path left for him but a truncated version of what he's already done.

But a "resurrection" offers Neo new dramatic turf.

His death is implied but hardly explicit in Revolutions. I think that's the most logical interpretation of what happened.

But another way of looking at it is that he was knocked unconscious by the Matrix's reloading process. So perhaps when he came to, the machines quietly reinserted him into the Matrix so that he could enjoy the rest of his life as Thomas Anderson in obscurity without the baggage of having to be the greatest war hero of all time? I liked that idea and I think it would've appealed to Neo. He never came off like the happy warrior to me. He did what he did because nobody else could but I don't think he would've necessarily chosen to be what he became.

Still, resurrection means something. And resurrections also means something. If nothing else, the concept of some sort of resurrection deepens the religious themes the saga dabbled with from the very beginning.

Suffice it to say, this movie is a lot more interesting to me now. And I was already pretty interested.

EDIT- Apparently, I've been asleep at the wheel because the release date for this son of a son is December 22, 2021. For some reason, I had assumed it'd been delayed some time in 2022.

But hey, this year works just fine for me.

The ending of Revolutions heavily broadcasts a resurrection. A rising sun with the Oracle confirming Neo will eventually return. A month or so back there was a visual spoiler that made me question one of my theories, which was Neo simply came back exclusively as a program.

Yep. It's coming out this year, no matter what thanks to HBO Max. If they make more movies, I's keep the December release schedule. Make it an event like LOTR. And I've seen talk they may do a TV series extension as well. Not sure how legit those rumblings are, but fingers crossed. At the moment I'm just wanting a trailer. Should be fairly soon, you'd think.

The HBO Max angle interests me. Greatly.

As to other films, I never needed a sequel to Matrix Revolutions. But since we're getting one, I very much savor the idea of exploring this thing fully, perhaps even with a fifth and sixth installment. A TV show (presumably also on HBO Max) is another good idea. Even if it's only tangential to the films. Hell, maybe especially if it's tangential to the films. Parallel media can do a lot to shade in the worldbuilding suggested by the main film series.

A YouTuber who has been right on things before (apparently) uploaded what he called a full plot of the film, and it has now been pulled by the studio. I gave it a listen before that happened and transcribed what he said just in case. I'm really happy with the premise, if it's legit. I think there's a good chance it is, personally. It lines up, makes sense and feels like a celebration of the franchise and the main characters while also expanding the story. The trailer has to be coming soon.

I'm not that anyway?

The release date is December 2021. So, very soon would be my guess.

SDCC is going on now. I haven't heard anything about a Matrix 4 trailer. I'm starting to wonder what the game plan is here.

Still, there was a point when movie trailers were coming out almost a year before the movie. So, I like how things are different with The Matrix 4. Everyone is keeping their powder dry until later on and that works pretty well for me.

At this equivalent point before The Matrix Reloaded's release, we had already seen the Superbowl trailer and had some idea of the story (multiple Smiths, the machines are digging, etc.) whereas The Matrix 4 is keeping stuff a lot closer to the vest.

In some ways, this is unfortunate. Since it probably means the expanded universe I was hoping for probably won't happen. But at least the story isn't getting splashed all over the place right now. I think that will ultimately be a good thing. If the movie itself is good, that is.

Anyway. The wait continues...
