Trailer coming in two days, but until then the marketing has launched with two multiple teasers, each one located at the end of a blue or red pill.

https://thechoiceisy...isthematrix.com

EDIT: Note: the pills each generate different shots from the movie every few minutes...supposedly they are toggling between hundreds of clips as the site cycles. So you can get something different every time you click.

Man, they don't really do this type of cool net marketing much these days. I missed this.

EDIT 2: and lets talk about how this seemingly fits in with the ending of MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. We know that Neo would be seen again (the Oracle tells Sati that as one of the final lines of the film), and we know that the Matrix was rebooted, and the architecture was added to allow humans a CHOICE. I feel like this is the red pill / blue pill aspect of the marketing and why the "agent-looking" Jonathan Groff handles the Blue Pill teasers (likely working for the machines to recruit people?), while the Red pill obviously leads to Young Morpheus (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). So it feels like MATRIX 4 will focus on the choice war, or at least include it?

I'm super curious how Trinity figures in since she died. Is she a program? Did the machines re-constitute her?

Kinda cool. Hearkens back to when the Internet was more enjoyable before everything got siloed in social media (before social media's take over / dominance of the Internet). So it's refreshing to see this approach instead of an announcement from twitter or FB.

Looks cool! Can’t wait to see the full trailer.

Different Matrix, different Trinity.

Only, the same.

...but different.

Mostly.

See but Trinity was a real person, originally plugged into the matrix, who died in the real world. So same matrix, rebooted, but still with Trin? That makes me think that she's a program or the new anomaly maybe? If I was betting on the weird, I'd say the Machines remade her (like an android) to entice Neo?

Trinity was also a master hacker. She shows up, plugs some agents, Neo freaks out, she barks 'i'm her backup copy, now move!' and we're good. A part of the beauty of the Matrix films was that complex sf ideas like AIs keeping humans as batteries in a nuclear winter could co-exist with 'i know kung fu.'.

BTW, is this grown up Sati?

Recall that the last time we saw Sati, she was a little girl talking to the Oracle in Matrix 3. Is Sati the new Oracle? Way cool if so.

That was my first thought, that's a grown-up Sati.

I mean it's her Matrix design at the end of Revolutions and it looks exactly like the one we see in this trailer (tone wise), so that's make a tonne of sense.

Looks like it should be called Rise of the Matrix or Matrixhog Day.

[EDIT] Meant The Matrix Awakens. heh, I don't know Star Wars to well.
