While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form,” Knight added. By another form, the writer refers to a proposed feature film that would wrap up the story, along with additional shows that will transpire in the Peaky universe. In the mea...

Commenting on the upcoming show over on his own website, the author revealed that he had seen “a rough cut of the first episode” and that “[he] loved it. It’s dark, it’s powerful, it’s visceral… just the way I like my epic fantasy.” Martin added that while the audience will only have heard of a few of the actors on its cast, “I think you are going to fall in love with a lot of them.

The Matrix Resurrections producer James McTeigue has confirmed that there aren’t any plans for a new trilogy. Speaking to Collider in a recent interview, the filmmaker — who was also the assistant director to all three of The Matrix trilogy films — revealed that Resurrections had always intended to be a standalone experience. “We’ve got no prequel in mind. We’ve got no sequel in mind. We’ve got no further trilogy,” McTeigue explained when asked about future plans for the franchise. However, he also added that the premise of the film and the ending also leave room for further exploration. “I think the film also works where it’s really open to audience interpretation, like what happened in those 60 years before they fished Neo out again, or Thomas Anderson to Neo,” he added. “...
