The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix Revolutions

The Wachowskis' 1999 sci-fi thriller fused cyberpunk philosophy, layered allegory, and Hong Kong–influenced choreography into revolutionary visual language. Spanning films and the Animatrix anthology, it reshaped action cinema's relationship to digital technology and reality itself.

‘Replacer’ – Karl Glusman and Juliette Gariépy Join Cast of Psycho-Sexual Horror Film Starring Halsey

Replacer, the psycho-sexual horror film starring Halsey (Maxxxine), just got even more interesting.

Deadline reports that Karl Glusman (The Neon Demon) and Juliette Gariépy (pictured above in Red Rooms) have joined the cast.

Other big names attached to the project include actor/director Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap, Backrooms), with Jogia also directing and Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix) executive producing.

Here’s the official synopsis: “Stranded in Montreal, Proxy (Halsey), a troubled DJ, meets an alluring artist and his group of friends who run an underground radio station. The station’s broadcast becomes warped by a mysterious signal hidden deep beneath the city’s subway system. Proxy must escape before the sound turns her, and her new friends, into something raw, primal, and unrecognizable.”

How’s this for hype?

“Avan and Halsey’s script is a surreal hyper-dive into a twitchy, conspiratorial genre mashing snarl of horror/thriller/comedy, set

The Best Movies About Coding That Capture Programming, Hacking, And Silicon Valley Ambition

Coding rarely looks the way it does in real life once Hollywood gets involved, but that has not stopped filmmakers from returning to programmers, hackers, and tech founders as some of cinema’s most compelling protagonists. From Cold War paranoia to the founding of Facebook, these stories use lines of code as a backdrop for bigger questions about power, ambition, and control.

The following list gathers ten films spanning four decades that put coding and the people who do it at the center of the story. Some are grounded in true events, while others imagine what happens when software slips beyond human control.

‘Marshals’ Star Goes Full ‘John Wick’ in Brutal Cyberpunk Thriller Officially Streaming on Netflix

Leigh Whannell is one of the most interesting filmmakers out there. Some big sci-fi movies need $200 million, a huge intellectual property upon which to base your stories, and enough (colossally underpaid and overworked) visual effects artists to populate a small country. However, Whannell made this one for a fraction of that, and somehow delivered one of the nastiest cyberpunk action movies of the last decade. ImagineRoboCop’s body-horror-infused technology crashing directly into the viciously choreographed action of John Wick, and you’re somewhere close, and audiences are rushing back to rediscover it.

Upgrade is currently trending on Netflix, bringing Whannell's brutal 100-minute sci-fi thriller to the platform. Released in 2018 by Blumhouse,

“Who Can Kick?”: How Jean-Claude Van Damme Inadvertently Found His Replacement in a Versace Ad

Jean-Claude Van Damme is indisputably one of the greatest action stars of all time. It isn’t too difficult to imagine that he inspired countless other actors along the way either. One notable fan is Daniel Bernhardt, who ironically became the face of Bloodsport after Jcvd. In an interview with The Jim Masters Show, Bernhardt opened up about how a Versace commercial he did with Van Damme in the ’90s inspired him to become an actor. “I did a commercial in New York with a very famous photographer called Bruce Weber,” Bernhardt said. “The commercial was for Versace jeans, and it starred Jean-Claude Van Damme. That was the time when Bloodsport and Kickboxer were out,

Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Tom Holland Joins Tom Cruise, Will Smith and 3 Others for $100M Salary Club

Tom Holland has swung his way into a club most Hollywood stars never get close to. Only a handful of actors have ever walked away with $100 million from one film, and the Spider-Man: Brand New Day star is now one of them. According to a report from TheWrap, Holland is in line to make north of $100 million for his fourth solo outing as Peter Parker.

That comfortably beats the roughly $75 million Robert Downey Jr. is reported to have taken home for Iron Man 3, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. It was a number that once looked untouchable for a Marvel star.

If you add the $10 million he reportedly received

Lilly Wachowski Says Hollywood Is Too Scared To Fund Her All-Trans Thriller

Lilly Wachowski has spent three decades reshaping what mainstream science fiction and action films can look like, from the original ‘Matrix’ trilogy to cult favorites like ‘Speed Racer’ and ‘Cloud Atlas.’ Wachowski is known for her many sci-fi collaborations with her sister, Lana Wachowski, and after directing 1999’s ‘The Matrix,’ the two went on to helm sequels like ‘The Matrix Reloaded’ and ‘The Matrix Revolutions.’ Her name alone tends to signal ambition and genre reinvention.

Her latest project, a dystopian political thriller called ‘The Hunted,’ was supposed to continue that streak. The film is set in a dystopian American society where trans people are degraded and pushed out, and the

‘The Matrix’ Is Waking Up Again, And Warner Bros Just Made It Official

Few franchises reshaped modern science fiction the way ‘The Matrix’ did when it first hit screens, blending martial arts spectacle with heady philosophy about free will and simulated reality. The saga built a devoted fanbase across three sequels, even as the follow ups struggled to match the cultural impact of the original.

That devotion was tested hard in 2021, when The Matrix Resurrections became a notorious box office flop, grossing just 160 million dollars against a hefty 190 million dollar budget. The underwhelming return led plenty of fans to assume the series had quietly reached its end, with no clear plans for where the story could go next.

Now that assumption has been put to rest.

Russell Crowe’s New Military Sci-Fi Movie Bluefly Revealed With First Plot Details

Russell Crowe just joined the cast of a sci-fi action film alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

Crowe is best known for starring in movies like Gladiator (earning him an Oscar for Best Actor), L.A. Confidential, A Beautiful Mind, Les Misérables and Thor: Love and Thunder. Just last year, he appeared in the historical drama Nuremberg and will star opposite Henry Cavill in the upcoming Highlander reboot.

Now the actor has lined up his next project. Deadline reports that Crowe will star opposite Chopra Jonas in Bluefly, which is being directed by Predators filmmaker Nimród Antal from a script by David Frigerio, William Eubank and Carlyle Eubank. No other cast members have been announced yet,

Everyone Wants Neo Back – But Matrix 5 Should Bring Back This Forgotten Character Instead

We first asked this question back in 2021, just before The Matrix Resurrections hit cinemas. Kid never showed up. Now, with Matrix 5 in active development under Drew Goddard, it’s worth asking again. While fans are busy wondering whether Neo, Trinity or Morpheus will return, the franchise has quietly left behind some of its most fascinating characters, including Kid, Seraph, Sati, Ghost, Niobe, The Merovingian and even the legacy of the Oracle. Some received little more than cameos, others simply disappeared from the story altogether. But if there’s one character who deserves a proper second chance, it’s Kid – the self-liberated anomaly the Wachowskis spent years building up, only to leave on the sidelines.

Deadline reports Keanu Reeves is looking to reunite with Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley for a live-action hybrid Lego pic. Universal has yet to confirm the report, as Reeves is reportedly in talks to star in the movie.
