The Wachowskis don't seem to be involved with the reboot yet, The Hollywood Reporter notes. However, it seems Zak Penn, credited for X-Men: The Last Stand and The Avengers, may write this time around.
Two sequels followed the first Matrix: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions—both released in 2003.
Joel Silver went to Warner Bros. about reviving the series. However, it seems Warner is hesitant about involving the original trilogy's producer, who has apparently had issues with budget and does not have a good relationship with the Wachowskis.
A winner of four Academy Awards, The Matrix stole a place in movie history for its forward-thinking special effects.
