The Matrix Director Praises Multiverse Action Movie Everything Everywhere
Co-writer and co-director of the original Matrix trilogy, Lily Wachowski, revealed that she got to see an advance screening of A24's new film Everything Everywhere All at Once and praised the film's message. Everything Everywhere is a comedic, science-fiction action film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, that started receiving critical acclaim after its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 11. The film stars Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh(Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) as Evelyn Wang in a story that combines martial arts with multiverse travel as Evelyn taps into the memories and skills of alternate versions of herself.
This film shares some similarities with Lily Wachowski's Matrix trilogy, which combined sci-fi with martial arts and created a new type of action film that even had actors learn wire-fu, a stylized version of Kung Fu used in Hong Kong action films. Wachowski was noticeably absent from the production of the most recent Matrix film, The Matrix: Resurrections, which was directed and co-written by her sister Lana Wachowski. When asked about her absence from the Matrix sequel, Lily Wachowskistated that she wanted to take a break from back-to-back film shoots, reconnect with herself as an artist, and recover from emotionally taxing events. She started a return to the industry by writing for the 2019-2021 comedy series Work in Progress on Showtime.
