The Wachowskis' involvement in Matrix 5: "Drew Goddard doesn't want to go forward unless he gets our blessing, so we might take a look"

Lilly Wachowski: "Warner Bros. — they want to make another thing. They're always going to want to make another thing. Personally, I don't want to play in that sandbox anymore. I'm kind of done. But there's this maybe-a-thing that's happening with Drew Goddard, and he doesn't want to go forward unless he gets our blessing. And so it becomes this complicated situation — that maybe we're going to stick our noses in a tiny bit and see how we feel. And if we want to pass on our blessing to Drew or not. So could be something that's coming down the road, but it's still unknown."

Footage from the canceled Animatrix 2.0 project feels like the baby of "The Second Renaissance", "Detroit: Become Human", and "Assassin's Creed"!

I have been covering the little known Animatrix 2.0 stillborn project for a long time. (This is just one of my many posts about it.) Some sort of crossmedia, potentially interactive, potentially VR, sister project to The Matrix Awakens UE5 demo, that was spearheaded by John Gaeta and with story supervision and contributions by Lana Wachowski.

At some point 4 years ago, I, correctly as you'll see today, deduced it was being made by: https://wevr.com/

After seeing today's post that uncovered a few new details about it from John Gaeta, I revisited my research and voila: https://wevr.com/highlights/wevr-innovation-case-study-transmedia-cross-platform-ip-development-the-matrix

Wevr not only do they have some text information about it, but they also have a rough video.

The story takes place in the near future "at a time when robots and AI have embedded in human society, and humans are faced directly with the issues of AGI and the civil rights issues for both carbon and silicon-based intelligences."

In the video you can see human police confronting robots and sympathizers protesting for "MECH RIGHTS", while another robot and human are on the run together. The scene feels straight out of "The Second Renaissance" but it also recalls video game Detroit: Become Human.

There seems to also be a framing device that sets the story, as this seems to be some sort of historical re-enactment of the past that Neo is accessing within the Construct. (Alternatively, in the video with Gaeta it was said others would enter the Construct simulation to visit the past and look for clues to locate a missing Neo.) This all reminds me of the framing device of Assassin's Creed (note I stopped playing the games after the 2nd one).

With Lana Wachowski (who also wrote and directed much of The Matrix Awakens sister project) supervising this, the project was going to be as canon as anything else she wrote. And the 3D assets were to be made by VFX powerhouse Weta Digital.

Gaeta says people should demand they go back to it and revive this canceled project. Do you like what you see and do you agree with him?

Neo and Trinity only had 6 months together…

102 Upvotes

I’m doing my yearly rewatch of the first three movies and it lead me down a YouTube rabbit hole where one of the creators was breaking down the timeline…and he casually mentioned that there was essentially only six months between the first movie and the end of the third movie.

It breaks my heart to think about the fact that they only had six months together before the end.

Maybe it’s just me? I’m a hopeless romantic.

I have the Ultimate Matrix on DVD and I’m finally looking to upgrade to Bluray but I’n frightened I’ll lose some bonus features. Are the features found on The Matrix Experience DVD also included on the Bluray release somewhere?

''The problem is choice''

Humans made a conscious choice to reject a benevolent coexistence with the machines, Neo rectified that error by having no choice but to merge with smith and going back to the source. Smith was under the illusion that he was making his own choice and killing Neo. Deus Ex Machina has no choice in Neo emerging in each matrix.

The machines have no choice but to rely on humans as a source of power.

Did the humans have no choice but to reject that initial offer of benevolent coexistence?

A possible explanation for why Zion exists the way it does (spoilers for Matrix Reloaded) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

It has always confused me, why do the machines let Zion exist? Why not keep humans under stricter control? But I think I have a good explanation for it:

1. Zion is a the equivalent of a poison bait station for humanity.
Perhaps there are lots of smaller human groups in existence that the machines simply cannot find - same way humans can't exterminate all pests.
They want to manage this risk, so they created a big human settlement with the best technology and hovercrafts, so that most remaining humans will eventually find their way to it (or be rescued) and will die with it when it is next wiped.

If Zion didn't exist, the remaining survivors would be way more paranoid and would go into deeper hiding. Keeping Zion around also allows them to spy on the humans from within to learn about other groups and to keep an eye on their technological development.

2. Zion is the Svalbard seed vault.
Humans are vital to the machine civilization; so they allow a backup of it to exist, far away from the machine world in case there's ever a war or a problem there.

3. There are factions within the machine world who want humans destroyed completely - but this would create a huge crisis. To make sure the rogue machines can't ever do this, they let Zion exist far away and with some protection.

4. Letting the humans have a fortified settlement is a risk but the machines are doing it anyway for some internal political reason. Maybe keeping around humans as an example helps keep the peace amongst the machines and stops them turning against each other.

Trinity first meets Neo not in some rando industrial party (follow the white rabbit) ; but it's actually The Merovingian's club. MisterAndersan visits hell and doesn't even know it.

Live Demo

I was hoping to get some extra eyes and ears on the byproduct of my latest ASCII based endeavors, an audio reactive, XYZ axis based multidirectional matrix rain HTML.

I have a lot of spare time on my hands....

any feedback would be helpful, always looking for new or creative upgrade or optimizations opportunities, or just anything fun that could be visually appealing, like i was thinking of making a mouse pointer tracker in the system, so the rain drops are always converging on the mouse pointer where ever it is on the desktop.

Even though Reloaded and Revolutions are considered inferior to the first, 2003 still felt like a good year for Matrix fans because they had a lot going on.

I'am a big fan of the Matrix, So I built a Matrix-inspired homepage for my personal blog theme using Astro.

It has falling green code, terminal-style UI, and a new little details inspired by the movie.

Just a fun side project. Thought some of you here might enjoy it :)

Do the programs in The matrix have continuity? NSFW

12 Upvotes

Whenever neo sees the green rain code the programs are constantly changing. A pattern remains but the code just keeps flowing. Humans on the other hand do have some physicality and continuity because, they have to hook their actual brains and bodies to the program.

My question is is it the same for programs. Is there someplace where the programs are stored physically, and we just see what the physical program tells the code to write?
