Four things I noticed in the trailer:
-
In NPH psychiatrists office, he has butterflies and little glass baubles that are red and blue respectively that sit opposite of one another. I wonder if the implication is that he is the one who created/wrote the code of the red and blue pills.
-
We see the machine's operating on Neo's body in a series of flashcuts and his eyes are burnt and sealed shut just like in revolutions....so this is 100% a resurrection in the literal sense. The machines can grow human beings so this honestly isn't that out there.
-
We see trinities body in "the real world" (pin in that one). She has a tube connected to her head with blue LEDS....not unlike the blue pills actually. She also has what almost looks like blue code running down her face, although that could just be a trick of lighting and her being covered in liquid of some kind.
-
We see a videoprojector in a room playing the first matrix film.
I kind of hope that the movie addresses the way "the red pill" has been used by the alt right.
I also hope it has blatant trans symbolism to upset those same people lmaoooo
Years later learning about how Matrix is a trans movie made me appreciate it all the more. It's a movie where there's something for everybody which makes it soooo good.
Considering the poster is literally just the Red Pill and Blue pill, I think they are addressing that.
I'd be assuming the worst if both wachowskies were out of the loop...but in this case I suspect they will. It would be a travesty if they don't though. Even worse I'd argue then Ready Player One coming out in a post gamergate/incel world, cause at least that story always had repugnant politics.
I think this is a Lana solo project though.
It is. Poor wording, I just meant I have some faith they'll explore some of the original themes and ideas since at least one half of the original brain trust is back and as far as I know would be respectful and cognisant of the other's wishes/intentions.
They aren't out of the loop from what I remember.
