(CNN) -- "Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will again reenter "The Matrix," starring in a third sequel to the 1999 science fiction film that's expected to begin production next year.

The stars will be reunited with one of the original writer-directors, Lana Wachowski, who worked on the original movies with her sister, Lilly.

"The Matrix" featured Reeves as Neo, a man who discovers that humanity is trapped inside a simulated reality known as the Matrix, and that he is the destined champion who can help liberate them. Moss, Laurence Fishburne and Huge Weaving were among the co-stars.

The film was a major hit, spawning the sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions," which were shot in tandem and both released in 2003, completing the original story.

Reeves has been on a hot streak with the "John Wick" franchise. AMC Theaters recently announced that it will commemorate "The Matrix's" 20th anniversary with a week-long engagement of the movie beginning on Aug. 30.

The announcement comes as all the major studios are looking to old franchises in search of the next blockbuster. The new film will be released by Warner Bros., like CNN, a unit of WarnerMedia."

So, they resurrect Neo?
And both Wachowskis are now "women"?
And Hollywood is completely out of ideas?

No,no,no. I think that i'll pass.

I really liked the first Matrix movie. But the second two were pretty terrible in my opinion. Lots of cool visuals, but whatever the plot was, it was incomprehensible to me.

I did get the impression that the post-singularity machine reality that they all believed was "real life" might have just been another simulation. When Neo kind of transcended at the end of the third movie, he perceived the machine world as a flow of data the same way that he perceived our own (simulated) world at the end of the first movie. So maybe that world was just as fake as ours. Maybe there is no "reality" at all, just simulations endlessly within simulations.

Perhaps they could go somewhere with that kind of idea and make this new movie into kind of a metaphysical exploration. (I'm not hopeful that they will.)
