The Matrix Resurrections, the long-awaited fourth film in the groundbreaking franchise, has finally hit theaters! The new movie reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in their iconic roles, Neo and Trinity, as the pair tries to navigate and survive a totally different reality than the one they know as home.

They are joined by Matrix alum Jada Pinkett Smith, reprising her role as Niobe, as Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will be taking over the character Morpheus, made famous in the first trilogy by Laurence Fishburne. Newcomers Priyanka Chopra, Christina Ricci and Jonathan Groff also join the star-studded cast.

Lana Wachowski will be directing the feature from her own screenplay, marking the first time she will be helming a Matrix film without her sister, Lilly Wachowski. The pair wrote and directed all three of the previous installments. The first of the franchise, 1999’s The Matrix, made over $460 million worldwide and walked away with four Academy Awards, including Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Sound Editing.

Keanu Reeves is seen here at the The Matrix Resurrections film premiere in San Francisco on December 18 2021.

Lana added that she’d “seen so many important films” at the Castro, which was also home to the premiere of her first film, ‘Bound’, 27-years ago. “It was such an extraordinary experience, and that was a touchstone moment in my life. I thought it would be nice to come back here, give something back to the city, give some energy to the city and say thank you to the city. This theater seemed like the perfect place.”

Carrie-Anne Moss, Lana Wachowski and Keanu Reeves arrive at ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ film premiere in San Francisco on Dec. 18 2021. The trio dared to impress in their all-black ensembles.

Lana said even her lead Keanu was stunned by ‘The Matrix: Ressurections’ when he first screened the whole film. Talking at the Berlin International Literature Festival in Sep. 2021, she said, “We showed the film to Keanu and he really was blown away by it. And he said something that was typically Keanu, where it’s incredibly insightful. And he’s just sort of sitting there and you don’t expect some incredible revelation to come out of him in that moment, but like, casual brilliance just sort of rolls off of Keanu.”

Jada was a vision in red as she arrives at ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ film premiere in San Francisco. The gorgeous actress looked like she stepped off the runway!

In the film, she reprises the role of her character Niobe, but she has aged many years since the originals. To get into character Jada had to sit for makeup for 5 hours a day. Talking about the experience, she told GamesRadar, “It was quite an experience, it took about five hours each day to have it put on, and then, to have to sit in it all day was something else. It’s just like, ‘Oh my goodness!'”

“But what I loved about it was that it gave me an opportunity to really immerse myself into another version of Niobe. Not to give too much away, but a woman in that stage of her life, who is still in the position that she’s in, it’s pretty awesome, it’s pretty dope. You don’t see that a lot.”

Neil raved about the film while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Dec. 17. “I’m a huge fan of the firs movie, which really changed the game as far as cinema in my mind,” Neil said. “It talked about technology and the concept 20 years ago that technology was more invasive in more involved in your life than you really were aware of.”

He added, “I can’t recommend that enough to see it in a big theater where the sound is part of the story, because it sounds amazing.”

Carrie-Anne Moss was every inch the movie star at ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ film premiere in San Francisco.

The star reflected on the importance of her role as Trinity in the films in a profile for GQ. In it, she said, “We think about ‘The Matrix’ being these systems of control on humanity, and yet the Matrix of our own minds… that’s what I want to bust through all the time! Who am I if not a mother? Who am I if not a wife? Who am I if I’m not an actress? Who am I if not my mother’s daughter? Who am I if not Trinity?”

Jessica talked about her early memories of ‘The Matrix’ with Den Of Geek, telling the site, “I was 12 or 13, and it was probably on VHS. I loved it, but it scared me. I remember I would have nightmares about the small machine going into my belly button and my mouth stitching up. The imagery is so iconic and striking, and it really did stay with me. Even though I probably didn’t watch it again for another five or six years after that, I could have told you scene for scene what happened.”
