The Cast for Lana Wachowski’s ‘The Matrix 4’ Includes Christina Ricci!
It’s been a while since we’ve had anything to report on Lana Wachowski‘s The Matrix 4, which Warner Bros. currently has set for release late this year, on December 22, 2021.
Providing an update on the project, Deadline reports this week that Christina Ricci has joined the cast of the franchise’s fourth installment. No word yet on the role she’s playing.
Keanu Reeves, Jada Pinkett Smith and Carrie-Anne Moss are all back in the untitled fourth installment, alongside Priyanka Chopra, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff, Toby Onwumere, Eréndira Ibarra, Jessica Henwick and Neil Patrick Harris.
Plot details are not available at this time.
Lana Wachowski is directing for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow. Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell are co-writing the script with Wachowski.
From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
