This holiday brought the release of The Matrix Resurrections, a fourth film in the franchise that marked the return of not just Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss as Neo and Trinity, but also director Lana Wachowski, one half of the...
But I would not interpret that passage as gospel. While it’s true that Warner Bros. could continue The Matrix as an IP if they wanted to, they didn’t do so until Lana came on board to direct herself. And the reason she did so was not to “spite” WB and make a bad movie as an affront to their corporate greed.
Lana Wachowski has spoken openly about how The Matrix Resurrections was a story birthed to honor the passing of her parents:International Literature Festival Berlin . “I didn’t really know how to process that kind of grief. I hadn’t experienced it that closely… You know their lives are going to end and yet it was still really hard. My brain has always reached into my imagination and one night, I was crying and I couldn’t sleep, and my brain exploded this whole story. And I couldn’t have my mom and dad, yet suddenly I had Neo and Trinity, arguably the two most important characters in my life.
You may not like the final product of The Matrix Resurrections, but the idea that it was made to be purposefully bad as an affront to Warner Bros. and the concept of IP ownership is misguided. This was a deeply personal project for Lana, and once you recognize the influence of her parents, you can better understand that angle she was going for with Neo and Trinity this time around, I think.
