Warner Bros has confirmed that there will be another instalment to the Matrix franchise with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss returning as Neo and Trinity. Lana Wachowski will be back as well to direct the film. It was initially rumoured that Warner Bros was considering rebooting the hit sci-fi series but now it seems they have settled on a continuation of sorts.
