The Matrix

In an era of reboots and remakes, I like to play my hand in the casting of such projects. The Matrix is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I know a new one is coming, but I was always interested in what a reboot would look like. So this cast will consist not only the main characters from the original trilogy, but also characters from the games, mainly Path of Neo.
