Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Cosm's "shared reality" venues are releasing a new version of 1999's "The Matrix" this June. As reported by Deadline, in partnership with Warner Bros., Cosm is releasing what appears to be essentially the same movie, but with their 87-foot LED domes making it a much more immersive experience. "The Matrix" makes for a fitting feature, since it's named after a similar experience so immersive that the people inside it believe it's real. You can watch the trailer for the release below.

The company hopes to open new locations in 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, and Detroit, Michigan. This isn't the first time "The Matrix" and the film series have come up in recent days. Deadline interviewed Warner Bros Pictures co-chairman/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy earlier this month, who confirmed that Drew Goddard was writing and directing "The Matrix 5." However, it wasn't made clear if this will be a continuation of "The Matrix Resurrections" or a reboot. There's also no word on whether or not Keanu Reeves or any of the other on-screen talent are on board. From one point of view, it's surprising "The Matrix 5" is being considered at all. "The Matrix Resurrections," the latest entry in the film series, was the worst-performing feature in the series, failing to even make up its $190 million production budget and instead stalling at $159 million. It's possible that Goddard is the driving force behind the new project. This will be the first "The Matrix" film not directed by either one or both of the Wachowski sisters, though Lana Wachowski will serve as executive producer. "The Matrix" also made news when it was learned, during Laurence Fishburne's interview on "The View," that the actor was apparently not wanted in the cast of "The Matrix Resurrections." "I offered my services to the fourth 'Matrix,' and they didn't respond well to that," Fishburne said. "It's not like I didn't say, 'I'd like to offer my services.' I did." Regardless, Fishburne said he would still consider appearing in "The Matrix 5" if asked.
