Did we all... jump the gun?
Earlier this week, reports came out that executives at Warner Bros. were working on rebooting The Matrix franchise. Rumors had it that movie executives were looking at Michael B. Jordan to star. These reports got a mixed reaction from the Twitter crowd.
Turns out the report might have been alternative facts. Earlier today Zak Penn, rumored writer of the new Matrix movie, sent a number of tweets denying that they were working on a reboot or a remake, but not denying that films based on The Matrix world might come to fruition.
\u201cAll I can say at this point is no one could or should REBOOT the Matrix. People who know Animatrix and the comics understand.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489590542
\u201cCan't comment yet except to say that the words "reboot" and "remake" were from an article. Let's stop responding to inaccurate news.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489728276
\u201cIf I were going to recast Keanu Reeves, I would cast Keanu Reeves.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489728435
\u201cI'm working on the reboot of Ready Player One. Same creative team and cast. To be released concurrently with the original.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489728506
\u201cHow about just re-release the matrix? Don't reboot it, you can't do better.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489729283
\u201cDo I want to see more stories set in the universe of the matrix? Yes. Because it's a brilliant idea that generates great stories.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489729372
\u201cLook at what people are doing with Xmen universe. Between Logan and Legion and Deadpool, does anyone want them to stop? Not me.\u201d— Zak Penn (@Zak Penn) 1489729676
It looks like we might have... dodged a bullet. (OK, we'll stop.)
