Why “The Matrix Resurrections” is no longer the sisters co-directed?

Recently, the first trailer of “The Matrix Resurrections” was unveiled at CinemaCon, and the subtitle was confirmed.

Unlike the trilogy Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski co-directed, “The Matrix Resurrections” is directed by sister Lana alone.

Why is this happening?

Recently, Lilly gave the answer when promoting his new work “Work in Progress”.

Lilly Wachowski said that after the completion of “The Matrix Resurrections”, she and her sister Lana have not contacted yet.

He said: “Going back in time and doing what I have done again is obviously unattractive. I don’t want to experience my gender transition again, the death of my parents. It’s like I want to go back and put on my old shoes again. It’s the same inside, I don’t want to do that.”

When “The Matrix” was first released in 1999, the directors were the Wachowski brothers, Andrew Paul Wachowski and Laurence Wachowski.

In 2009, elder brother Laurence Wachowski has successfully transformed into a woman and changed his name to Lana Wachowski.

At the time of “Cloud Atlas”, the two were the Wachowski brothers and sisters. In 2016, Andrew Paul Wachowski also succeeded in transgendering. The name was changed to Lilly Wachowski, so they became sisters.

Director Lana Wachowski returns with actors Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Toby Onwumere, Max Riemelt, Eréndira Ibarra, Priyanka Chopra, Andrew Caldwell, Brian J. Smith, Ellen Hollman, and Christina Ricci have been cast in undisclosed roles.

“The Matrix Resurrections” will be released in North America on December 22 this year, and HBO Max will be launched simultaneously.
