The Matrix

Keanu Reeves reprises his iconic role as Neo in The Matrix Resurrections (2021), the much-awaited follow-up to The Matrix (1999) directed by Lana Wachowski. Keanu launched his Neo in the first movie of the franchise, The Matrix in 1999, and its two sequels released six months apart in 2003, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, written and directed by the Wachowskis, costarring Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity and Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus.

Keanu Reeves has been making some interesting choices lately - voicing a namesake cat in Key & Peele’s feline-in-the-hood movie, joining the exodus of A-list movie stars to TV with the series Rain. Or playing against type in The Neon Demon, director Nicolas Winding Refn’s stylish, nightmarish meditation on fame, beauty and sex that split the Cannes Film Festival in two.

Keanu Reeves sits down with the HFPA at TIFF to talk about his directorial debut, Man of Tai Chi, a martial arts film shot in China, in Chinese and starring his longtime friend and Matrix stuntman Tiger Hu Chen.
