A new film about Neo was announced back in August 2019. Then it became known that the shooting will begin at the beginning of 2020, but there was no information about exactly where they will be held. Until February 5, when residents of San Francisco, USA, did not see the director Lana Wachowski on the streets of the city, who shot the first three films about the “chosen one” with her sister. In one of the quarters, equipment for filming was exhibited, but the main character was not in sight.

The frames show that the actor is wearing jeans, a jacket and a black hat. He wears his usual beard, which means that it can be assumed that the action takes place in the matrix, where his hero is known as Thomas Anderson.

In this scene, Keanu stands at the crossroads with other people and waits to cross the road. Lana Wachowski gives him the last directions before shooting. The next moment, Reeves looks up at the sky as if he saw something in him.

Residents of San Francisco are shocked and do not believe their happiness when they see their idol on the streets of Chinatown, who drinks coffee, smokes, communicates with the director and takes pictures with fans in between filming.

You can read on the warning plate that a project is codenamed “Ice Cream” from the movie company Adobe Pictures Inc. in the city. Also, all onlookers are asked to refrain from getting into the camera and not interfere with the filming process.

It will not cost a movie without the tricks that the Matrix is ​​so famous for. Passers-by managed to shoot a scene with a motorcyclist and capture a car with a crane and a camera on the roof.

Well, and where without the protagonist flying over the city? True, Neo will no longer fly by himself. Fans suggest Trinity, who died at the end of the third film, hovers in the frames next to him.

Well, on very recent photos and videos dated February 9, you can see that shooting takes place at night on the roof of a skyscraper in a financial district in downtown San Francisco. Drones and a shooting helicopter are circling above the building.

Cast and release date

Keanu Reeves gave his consent to participate in the fourth “Matrix” after Lana Wachowski took the director’s chair. Soon it became known about the return to the screens of the heroine Carrie-Anne Moss Trinity. It is assumed that the heroes managed to be connected to the matrix and they thus survived.

But who the audience will definitely not see in the sequel to The Matrix is ​​Agent Smith, played by Hugo Weaving. The British actor was negotiating with Lana Wachowski about his return to the cinema, but the schedule of employment in the play “Visit” based on the play by Friedrich Durremant at the Royal National Theater did not allow him to join the project.
