Well... Apparently, Hollywood, or to be more precise, its screenwriters are now in a protracted crisis. We can quite openly talk about this for a long time, but the “symptoms,” so to speak, are intensifying. For example, it recently became known that the fourth film from the cult series of the Wachowski brothers "Matrix" - be!

Both sisters will produce together with Grant Hill, which was also at the origins of the very first film in 1999.
However, the main news in this event is the return of actors Neo and Trinity to their iconic roles by many foreign media. Keanu Reeves (John Wick franchise) and Carrie-Anne Moss ("Chocolate", "Frankenstein").
