Fans Outraged by News of New Matrix Film

It looks like Warner Bros will add another chapter to The Matrix universe as it was revealed that a new movie is in the works at the studio.

Drew Goddard, the writer and director behind The Cabin in the Woods, is said to be taking on the project, both penning the script and directing.

It will be the first time a Matrix film won't have direct involvement from Lana and Lilly Wachowski, and fans aren't feeling confident that Goddard is up to the task.

Further details on the project are under wraps, but Lana Wachowski is said to be serving as executive producer.

Jesse Ehrman, President of Production at Warner Bros. Motion Pictures, said, "Drew came to Warner Bros. with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honoring what Lana and Lilly began over 25 years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters".

Goddard added his own statement, saying, "It is not hyperbole to say The Matrix films changed both cinema and my life". He continued, "Lana and Lilly's exquisite artistry inspires me on a daily basis, and I am beyond grateful for the chance to tell stories in their world."
