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.

  Well, the matrix humans are conceived via artificial insemination in synthetic wombs while the self-replicating Agent Smith has a mother... Can't get much more original sin then that.

  while the self-replicating Agent Smith has a mother

  Whaaaat...I even looked this up on the Matrix wiki (apparently there is one), and the string "mother" appears nowhere in the entire page.

  It sounds like characters are calling the Oracle "mother" in a metaphorical way. Like about 83% of the lines uttered in the entire transcript of the movie(s).

    It sounds like characters are calling the Oracle "mother" in a metaphorical way.

    The whole discussion is about allegorizing the story à la Pilgrim's Progress to Wizard of Oz to the Bible so of course it's metaphorical. Besides, one of the films specifically introduced the machine "children" plot element into the story so it's too forced: https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Sati [fandom.com]

    Admittedly though, it's been a few years since I've seen a rerun of the films and I honestly only liked the computer game for the excellent fight mechanics and the animation so anything I say on the subject should be taken with a sizeable grain of salt.
