Warner Brothers has just announced plans to make a fourth installment in the iconic world of The Matrix.

Lana Wachowski—the co-creator of the record-breaking and genre-defining world of "The Matrix"—is set to write, direct and produce an all-new film, returning audiences to the reality-bending universe. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will star in the film, reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively. Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will produce and globally distribute the film. The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

There are almost no details yet on the film which will follow nearly twenty years after the first three films "The Matrix", "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" beyond the fact that filming is set to begin in early 2020.

  So the "reality" you wake up to is just another level of the virtual reality

  You don't need VRs within VRs. At least not implementations of VRs within VRs.

  Everyone is in the VR. When you die and wake up, or simply wake up, or take the wrong pill, the single VR simply changes. I suppose this is best described as a VR within a VR.

  unless it was a reality written in MS Basic? Oh, excuse me, in python.

  In 2030, if you want to blink an LED, it will take terabytes of code. The Blink sketch, on an Arduino emulator, written in interpreted python on Linux. That Linux is actually running on a PC emulated in JavaScript in a browser (yes really! [bellard.org]). The browser is running on FreeDOS on the raw microcontroller. It will be the only option on the market for blinking an LED. But hey, it will be in a SOT-23 package [wikipedia.org], draw only nanoamps, and cost five cents. So you won't really care what goes on inside the package.

  You don't need VRs within VRs.

  Even if that were true, you might not know you were in a VR and hence, didn't need that subsequent VR.
