New Matrix Games On The Way
New Matrix Games Possible
Joel Silver, producer of the Matrix movies, told reporters that there won’t be a fourth film after the upcoming Matrix Revolutions, but that there may be more games set in the Matrix universe. At a news conference Oct. 27 in Los Angeles’ new Disney Concert Hall, Silver responded to a question from SCI FI Wire about a possible new Matrix movie: “It will never happen.”
But asked about other future Matrix projects, Silver revealed, “We’re dealing with all that now. There is a project being worked on with a company called Ubi Soft, which is outside of Seattle, which is a multiplayer online game that in fact may become available as early as this summer, which will continue on the story of the world of The Matrix.” Silver added that Jada Pinkett Smith’s character, Niobe, may figure in the game, as might Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus. “But we’re just working on that now,” he said.
Silver added that there is talk about doing another video game, beyond the current hit Enter the Matrix. “There’s a moment in [The Matrix Revolutions], when Seraph [Collin Chou] comes in with Neo [Keanu Reeves] and Trinity [Carrie-Anne Moss] and Morpheus, and the Merovingian [Lambert Wilson] says to him, ‘Oh, the prodigal son returns.’ And the boys [writers/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski] wanted to kind of explore that backstory. So that may be something that they deal with in a video game. But there will be other areas of Matrix material, but there will not be any more movies.” The Matrix Revolutions, which wraps up the trilogy, opens worldwide on Nov. 5.
