The fourth Matrix movie is happening!

Warner Bros. has announced it is working on a fourth movie in The Matrix sci-fi franchise.

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are set to reprise their roles of Neo and Trinity in the project, while series co-creator Lana Wachowski will write and direct it.

The film will follow 1999’s The Matrix and its 2003 sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolution.

News of the fourth chapter arrives as Reeves is reprising another of his iconic roles — time-traveling slacker Ted in Bill & Ted Face the Music, which is due in theatres next year.


Stardust, a movie on David Bowie

Stardust is giving a first glimpse of Johnny Flynn as late music icon David Bowie. Salon Pictures released a photo of the British singer and actor as Bowie, who died at age 69 in January 2016.

Stardust is set in 1971 and follows a 24-year-old Bowie as he takes his first trip to America with struggling publicist Ron Oberman (Marc Maron). Bowie creates his alter ego Ziggy Stardust during the journey.

Stardust will use period music songs that Bowie covered, versus the singer’s original tracks. Earlier, Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, had criticised the film in a series of tweets, saying that the biopic doesn’t cover the late legendary singer’s music.


The first glimpse of King Henry V in first poster

Timothée Chalamet is giving fans a first glimpse of his new film The King. The actor shared a poster for the Netflix movie featuring himself in costume as King Henry V.

The King is based on the William Shakespeare plays Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V. The movie follows Hal (Chalamet), the English prince who becomes King Henry V.

Joel Edgerton co-stars as Falstaff, with Robert Pattinson as The Dauphin, Ben Mendelsohn as King Henry IV, Sean Harris as Michael Williams and Lily-Rose Depp as Catherine. The movie will premiere at the Venice Film Festival and debut on Netflix in the fall.
