Who turned down Matrix roles?
Nicholas Cage also turned down the role due to family obligations, and Val Kilmer, one of the producers' top picks, turned down both the role of Neo and Fishburne's Morpheus. Instead, he worked on the poorly received At First Sight.
The absence of Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus in The Matrix 4 frustrated fans who adored his portrayal of the character in the previous films. The Matrix Resurrections had lower stakes and a more somber tone compared to the original trilogy, which may have turned audiences off from the movie.
Fishburne, who played Morpheus in the original trilogy opposite Reeves, 58, and Moss, 55, previously spoke to New York Magazine and said he had "not been invited" to reprise his role.
No. The matrix was rebooted, with a few changes made. Once Smith was purged, the Machines reloaded the matrix to allow for a few things to be changed. The Machines agreed to release people who wanted to be released, so the humans would no longer have to hack the power plants to free the minds they needed to.
The MATRIX refers to the systems and structures in society that keep us bound to the traditional ways of living and working. These systems can include societal norms, cultural expectations, educational institutions, and corporate structures that often prioritize profit over people.
In the film's final scene, the duo returns to the Analyst in his office, garbed in black similar to the original trilogy. The three share some dialogue, but the gist of it is that Neo and Trinity are free from control, leaving them to do as they wish, and there's nothing the Analyst can do to stop them.
Parents need to know that The Matrix Resurrections is the long-awaited (but underwhelming) fourth Matrix movie, the first since 2003's The Matrix Revolutions. Expect effects-heavy action violence, including lots of guns and shooting; fighting, kicking, and punching; bloody wounds (a throat…
The studio announced that a fifth “Matrix” movie is in development. It'll be the first installment without Lana or Lily Wachowski as directors. Instead, “The Martian” screenwriter Drew Goddard will handle filmmaking duties. He will also write the script and produce with his partner at Goddard Textiles, Sarah Esberg.
Morpheus died in The Matrix Online, a game that is part of the “Matrix Expanded Universe” and is considered Matrix canon. Therefore, Morpheus' death could not be ignored in The Matrix Resurrections. As for Agent Smith, Hugo Weaving could not return for The Matrix Resurrections due to scheduling conflicts.
Morpheus is one of the main protagonists of The Matrix franchise. Morpheus is a Redpill Resistance operative who serves in Zion's defense force as captain of the Nebuchadnezzar. He believes in the Prophecy and devotes "all of his life" in search of The One, the destined human who will bring an end to the Machine War.
The real reason Tank didn't come back for the admittedly quite divisive Matrix sequels was a conflict between actor Marcus Chong and the producers between the movies. Said conflict got incredibly heated, leading to legal battles, and Chong making shocking allegations against his former colleagues and bosses.
Due to not being impressed by the pitch, along with the fact that he didn't just want to star in more sci-fi films featuring aliens like Independence Day and Men in Black, he passed on Neo and The Matrix to instead star in Wild Wild West. Smith admits he isn't proud of the latter, especially due to its campiness.
Box office. The Matrix Resurrections grossed $40.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $118.7 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $159.2 million against a budget of $190 million.
In The Matrix Reloaded, Neo learns from the Architect that the machines allowed Zion to be created as a method of coping with the problem of human choice, reducing but not eliminating the instability caused by those who rejected the Matrix.
Neo is talking (possibly metaphorically) to the machine mainframe. He's talking to the Source, to the power behind the machines, to whatever sends the Agents after him.
