The Matrix Revisits One of Its Biggest Mysteries in Haunting Images

The Matrix Revisits One of Its Biggest Mysteries in Haunting Images
This article contains spoilers for The Matrix Resurrections.

It’s been six months since the release of The Matrix Resurrections, the unexpected fourth entry in the cyberpunk saga that brings back Neo and Trinity for one last battle against the Machines. Since it bowed in December, diehard fans have continued to debate the film’s merits. Is it too beholden to nostalgia or is it too apathetic about the franchise’s storied past? Is it too meta or not self-aware enough? Does it earn its cathartic happy ending or is the third act too fan fiction-y? Your opinion of whether you think the film is good or not probably hinges on your answers to these questions. But one thing is for certain: it’s been very nice to have a new Matrix movie to debate about after all these years.

Say what you will about the film’s plot and action sequences,

Lena Headey Sued for 1.5 Million By Former Agency Over Scrapped ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Role

Lena Headey Sued for 1.5 Million By Former Agency Over Scrapped ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Role
None of the scenes that Lena Headey filmed for “Thor: Love and Thunder” made the final cut, but that isn’t stopping former representatives of the “Game of Thrones” star from suing her.

Headey’s former agency, Troika, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the actress owes 1.5 million in unpaid commissions (via Variety), including 500,000 from her “Thor: Love and Thunder” salary. The agency is also seeking a 300,000 commission from the film “9 Bullets” and 650,000 for the scrapped Showtime series “Rita.” Headey had signed on to play the titular character on the show, but Showtime decided not to move forward with it after seeing the pilot.

According to court documents, Headey signed with Troika in 2005, when her longtime agent Michael Duff left his position at Lou Carl Associates to join the agency. Troika merged with James Grant Group in 2017, before being acquired by a private equity firm and rebranded as Ymu

“Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey is being sued for 1.5 million by her former U.K. agency Troika over unpaid commission fees relating to a number of projects including the upcoming film “Thor: Love and Thunder.”

Variety can confirm that Headey does not appear in the final cut of “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. The film is set for release next week.

Reps for Headey and Marvel did not reply to Variety’s requests for comment by publication time.

Duff co-founded Troika, which in 2017 merged with the James Grant Group. In 2018 the agency was acquired by

Westworld season four review – nothing but a humdrum dramedy about sad singletons

Westworld season four review – nothing but a humdrum dramedy about sad singletons
The Man in Black is back! And Ariana DeBose joins as a glum twentysomething trawling dating apps. Has the show that once asked the biggest questions about humanity and technology really come to this?

Westworld once wanted to be the biggest drama on television. Not the most popular – it was always too complex and ambitious to sweep up as many viewers as Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. But at its inception, it had designs on being the prestige box set with the widest scope, asking the weightiest questions about mankind and technology, demanding the deepest commitment to keep up with its leaping intellect.

As it returns for a fourth season, though, it’s feeling small. Dull, even. The season four opener is the least chaotic in the show’s history, with signs that Westworld has succumbed to the fate that befalls all but the best high-concept sci-fi stories
