Directors "John Whitch" Chad Stachelski and David Litch took part in creating the first three parts of the "matrix", studying scenes of battles. In addition, stachele on the set of these films was a dubler Kiana Rivza. In an interview with Collired, the director confirmed that both in the "Matrix 4" they will take part in Litch:
They asked us to help with choreography and some physical preparation of actors. It was very cool - again see the crew members. We managed to finish shooting in San Francisco before the start of a pandemic.
Stachelski, who operated by the director of the second film crew in a number of blockbusters, expressed admiration for the Lana Vachovski, which can do without a second group. This group is created for the director of the scenes of the Drak, the shootout and the like. But Vachovski itself puts all the scenes in the "Matrix 4":
Lana is so professional that herself leads all the filming. In some "matrices" there were second groups, but this was done only because of the logistics.
In the "Matrix 4" Kian Reeves and Carrie Ann Moss will return to the roles of neo and Trinity. Hugo Wiving could not take part in the project and play the Smith agent because of his shooting schedule. At the moment, the shooting of the "Matrix 4" are stopped due to a pandemic, but Studio Warner Bros. did not officially announce the transfer of the date of the premiere, which was scheduled for May 21, 2021. Due to delays with the production of "Matrix 4", the date of filming of the new "John Whitch" can be moved, since they can begin only after Keanu Reeves will be free from participation in the current project.
