The Matrix is back. The fifth part of the series is being created
The creator of the new “Matrix” will be responsible not only for directing; together with his partner Sarah Esberg, he will write the script for the film and will also produce it. Previously, Goddard worked on films such as “The Cabin in the Woods” and “All Bad Times at the El Royale”.

However, Jesse Ehrman, president of Warner Bros. revealed a bit about the new director’s plans for the film.
– Drew came to us with a new idea that we all thought would be an amazing way to continue the Matrix story. “This concept will honor what Lana and Lilly started 25 years ago, but will also showcase the creator’s unique perspective that is grounded in his own love for this series and its characters,” the statement reads.
Goddard himself emphasizes that “The Matrix” changed his life. “It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ‘Matrix’ films changed both cinema and my life. The unique artistry of Lana and Lilly inspires me every day and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to tell the story in the world they created,” the filmmaker is quoted by Filmweb.
