‘The Matrix’ Fans Roast New Sequel After Learning Original Directors Won’t Helm
HuffPost
"If it ain’t wachowski I will not watchski," one social media user said.
The director of the upcoming “Matrix” film is dodging bullets from heated fans on social media.
After Warner Bros. confirmed last week that the fifth installment of the beloved movie franchise is in the works sans legendary directors, Lana and Lily Wachowski, fans argued the new film won’t be the same without the sibling duo.
The Wachowskis wrote and directed the franchise’s 1999 original as well as “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions.”
The fourth film, 2021’s “Matrix Resurrections,” which was directed by only Lana after Lilly turned down the sequel, was largely criticized by fans.
The untitled “Matrix” movie will be directed by “The Martian” screenwriter Drew Goddard.
