The Matrix 4 is filming now...exciting!

Take another pill

Good news for us Matrix fans...

The untitled fourth Matrix film, starring Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss, will be out May 21, 2021. Lana Wachowski is writing and directing the new Matrix, which already has a slew of new stars coming on board. 

One interesting note here is that, as it stands, The Matrix 4 will open the same day as John Wick 4, which would be kind of crazy. Two action-packed part fours starring Keanu Reeves hitting theaters on the same day? One has to assume John Wick will push, but we’ll see what happens.

Looking forward to seeing this for sure!

The Doctor is in

The first trailer for Doctor Strange was revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night....



This is another Marvel character that I know nothing about. However, the being said...this trailer looks pretty awesome (like a cross between Inception and Matrix, which is a great combo in my book!).

Plus, I love anything having to do with magic...so, I'm gonna be all over this when it comes out!

The movie opens November 4th.

Space Brawls

The new trailer for Jupiter Ascending was released today and it's still looking pretty cool...



I enjoy me some Matrix-esque movies made by the Matrix directors.

I'm in.

FIRST LOOK: Hobbit Poster and Trailer

Peter Jackson released the first Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug poster over the weekend on his Facebook page and then, today, released the first official trailer (which is rumored to be showing with Man of Steel this weekend).



It's nice to see the first appearances of Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lily as Tauriel, as well.





The trailer looks pretty cool, although I honestly think that the Hobbit films are using too much CGI (unlike the Lord of the Rings films which, although they used a lot of CGI, had a much nicer balance of real locations/sets and much more subtle/realistic-looking CGI).

The Hobbit movies look more like a video game (just like the two Matrix sequels did), than a live action-adventure film.

But...I'm still looking forward to watching them anyway because they are pretty amazing video games to watch!



UPDATE: Peter Jackson just uploaded a video of Evangeline Lily, Orlando Bloom, and Lee Pace watching a video of two kids seeing the new Hobbit trailer for the first time. It's funny to see their reaction to the fan's excitement for the film and their characters.



The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens on December 13th.

Moshimo

A guy asked his mom to watch The Matrix, then had her tell him the plot....which he animated.

Her interpretation and his animated version of it is hilarious.



Laurence Fishburn is now "Moshimo" to me in this movie from this point on.



Moms describing the plot of Sci-Fi movies are definitely cuter than any cat photo.

LEGO my Neo

This is really cool...

In honor of the 10th anniversary of The Matrix, a group of fans recreated nearly 900 frames of the film. The entire sequence is animated "in camera," with no wire removal, no Photoshop, and no special effects other than what can be created with the Lego blocks themselves. The entire project took 440 hours.

Here is the side-by-side comparrison of the scene.



Here is the LEGO-only version.



Very crafty kids.

The Red Pill

JoeMyGod posted this really cool video, with a voice-over from Agent Smith (the bad computer program in "The Matrix"), that tracks the growth of Wal-Mart across the United States.

The combination is a little bit too perfect and kinda creepy...



To quote Morpheus from the film:

"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
