The first footage from #TheMatrixResurrections has arrived. bit.ly/3tp4qnf
In advance of the first trailer, Warner Bros. has launched an innovative website featuring an interactive and widely divergent first look at the newest installment in the 22-year-old franchise. bit.ly/3tp4qnf
On the website, users are greeted with a simple choice: Click on the blue pill, and stick to the reality you’ve known your whole life; click on the red pill, and signal that you’re ready to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. bit.ly/3tp4qnf
Users who click on the blue pill hear a voiceover by Neil Patrick Harris’ character saying, “you’ve lost your capacity to discern reality from fiction,” before urging the user to accept that their reality is real, as the current time flashes on the screen. bit.ly/3tp4qnf
By contrast, users who click on the red pill hear Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s voice telling them that while they believe it’s the current time — again, with Abdul-Mateen eerily reading the time aloud — “that couldn’t be further from the truth.” bit.ly/3tp4qnf
During both scenarios, a series of quick-cut shots from “Resurrections” flashes on the screen, with the footage changing slightly each time a user clicks on a pill. bit.ly/3tp4qnf
