David Mitchell on the meta-commentary TheMatrixResurrections makes on the original and why Neo doesn’t fire a gun this time around

We have a nice chemistry. We throw out a half-baked idea and the other two will find the things in it that are working, and amplify them and reshuffle them a bit, and slowly in the Pit, a strong scene emerges. Like the coffee-shop scene, which is one of my favorites in the whole of this action movie. A quiet, static scene where the two principals are just speaking to each other, mostly Trinity doing the talking, and Neo listening.
How did you arrive at the idea that Neo would be in this new version of the Matrix where the Matrix movies themselves exist as a video-game series that Neo/Thomas Anderson has become famous for designing? I guess we were having a bit of fun and being a little impish. Let it not be said that Warner Bros. doesn’t have a sense of humor. But clearly, it’s also on record that at various points in the last 20 years, Warner Bros. has asked the Wachowskis to revisit the universe, and they never wanted to until Lana had this idea. And in the interim, Warner Bros. had approached other directors and made soundings of how viable a fourth film would be. So, maybe, a few of those echoes crept into that line.
Did you notice that Neo never actually picks up a gun and shoots anybody with it? He redirects other people’s bullets once they are shot. But in the fourth film in this franchise, one of whose most iconic lines is “guns, lots of guns,” something’s changed.We needed to work out the history, and in the conference room in a windy Irish hotel where we worked through much of the first draft, I remember timelines on the walls: what happened between the end of the trilogy and now.
If you’re writing a film like this, you also have to deliver on the audience’s expectations for it, and in a Matrix movie, that probably means the action scenes. As you’re writing the script, you’re not actually choreographing those scenes, so how do you start thinking about the basic premises of how they’re going to work, or where they’re going to take place?
