Warner Bros. has shared a new trailer that includes new footage from one of its most highly anticipated films of the year, The Matrix Resurrections. Titled “Déjà Vu,” the clip comprises various shots that were clearly inspired by the original Matrix films, potentially offering a clue as to what the latest installment will center around (e.g., a reboot or recycling of the Matrix, something that was explored in the end of 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions).
One of Warner Bros.’ short but official synopses for the film, as published on the company’s awards site:
In two realities—everyday life and what lies behind it—Thomas (Keanu Reeves) will again have to choose to follow the white rabbit. Choice, while an illusion, is still the only way in or out of the Matrix, which is more dangerous than ever. Directed, produced and co-written by Lana Wachowski.
The Matrix Resurrections will be released in theaters and HBO Max on December 22, 2021. It seemingly marks the end of Warner Bros.’ same-day premieres initiative, which saw all of the studio’s biggest blockbusters debut on its streaming service day-and-date with their theatrical releases.
