Neo encounters Trinity in a coffee shop, and the two shake hands.
Yet somehow they’re both still alive in this trailer. We then see flashes of several action shots, including one of Neo being unplugged from the Matrix.įans will recall that both Neo and his love Trinity died in the third Matrix film, Matrix Revolutions. Neo seems aware that something is amiss, telling the therapist, played by Neil Patrick Harris, “I’ve had dreams that weren’t just dreams.” As he says this, we see a shot of Neo walking along a street with the signature Matrix green coding scrolling along it. He sees a black cat, just as he saw one when he learned about deja vu in the original film. He is leading a normal, if depressed, life, seeing a therapist and popping dozens of blue pills (more on those later). He doesn’t seem to be aware that he is living inside a simulation. In the trailer, we meet an older Neo, sporting his John Wick haircut, living within the Matrix under the name Thomas Anderson (his name from the first film before he unplugs from the Matrix and becomes Neo). The Matrix Resurrections trailer breakdown Here is everything that we know about Matrix Resurrections so far. From this trailer alone, it seems Wachowski, who is co-writing and directing Resurrections, is interested in exploring themes like how technology has gained an even greater hold over us since the original trilogy debuted. They’re almost certainly making a larger philosophical point. But knowing filmmaker Lana Wachowski, co-creator of the original Matrix trilogy along with Lilly Wachowski, the parallels between the two movies don’t just exist for the sake of fan service. To that end, it looks like we will get new riffs on the iconic red pill/blue pill scene and the dojo scene, among other nods to the original film.įans are already excited by the prospect of returning to many of the most famous moments from the original film. He will need to journey back down the rabbit hole again. If this is the same Neo from the original trilogy, he seems to have forgotten that he is the chosen one.
