Yes, 'The Matrix 5' Is Real. But What Do We Know About It?

DespiteLana Wachowskiwriting and directing 2021'sThe Matrix Resurrectionsas a rebuke to endless Hollywood franchising and declaring under no uncertain terms that the saga belongs to her andher sister Lilly, a fifthMatrixmovie is now in development and coming soon. But when? How? And what the heck could anotherMatrixmovie even be about?

While there are still more questions than answers, we're now beginning to hear more about the mysterious project from those involved. In a March 19 interview withVariety,Project Hail Maryscreenwriter Drew Goddard spared a few words about tacklingThe Matrix 5(unofficial title), although he could not divulge much at all due to the very early stages of the movie's production.

"I can't say too much, because we're still in the stage of writing it," Goddard said. "I need to give myself space to find the best story. I think the approach will be the way I approach anything, which is, do I love it?"

Goddard is a self-professed fan ofThe Matrixand had kind words for the sibling filmmakers who created it. "I love what Lana and Lilly Wachowski did with those movies," he said. "They mean so much to me and I feel like they've had a profound impact on my creative voice. I take this responsibility very seriously. I feel the weight of wanting to do right by the fans, wanting to do right by the creators and wanting to do right for myself as a fan."

WhenVarietyasked Goddard if Keanu Reeves or any of the original cast are involved, the writer shut it down. "I can't speak to that," he said.

In the years after the originalMatrixtrilogy (which ended with 2003'sThe Matrix Revolutions), both Wachowskis shot down chances to return to the saga; Warner Bros. approached them "every year" about it, according to Lana Wachowski at the 2021 Berlin International Literature Festival. But in 2019, after the filmmakers lost both their parents, Lana said her grief led her to story ideas that inspired her to reunite with her creations, Neo and Trinity.

"I couldn't have my mom and dad, yet suddenly I had Neo and Trinity, arguably the two most important characters in my life," Lana Wachowski toldEntertainment Weeklyin 2021. "It was immediately comforting to have these two characters alive again ... You can look at it and say: 'Okay, these two people die, and okay, bring these two people back to life, and oh, doesn't that feel good?' Yeah, it did! It's simple, and this is what art does and this is what stories do. They comfort us and they're important."

The revelation led Lana Wachowski (without Lilly, who was occupied withWork in Progresson Showtime but gave her blessing) toThe Matrix Resurrections, which opened in 2021 amid COVID-19 lockdowns and Warner Bros.' experimentation with releasing new movies in theaters and on HBO Max the same day.

While reactions toThe Matrix Resurrectionswere mixed, the movie is unquestionably a satire of Hollywood's obsession with reboots, remakes, and sequels. In the movie, Neo (Reeves) is a successful, award-winning video game developer ofThe Matrixwho feels alienated when the people around him beg for more. Lana Wachowski uses the movie to reflect on the impact of her sci-fi trilogy on popular culture and how audiences (and executives) remain imprisoned by expectations. One might even say they're slaves to "The Matrix."

Despite the low box-office turnout forResurrections, work beganon a fifthMatrixin 2024when Drew Goddard delivered a successful pitch to studio executives. The new movie will not be written or directed by either Wachowski sister, although Lana is on board as executive producer. But an uncertain future lies ahead for Warner Bros.amid an impending saleto Paramount. WillThe Matrix 5actually make it to theaters? Or will a mass merger kill it before it even begins? Again, there's more questions than answers. We'll see soon enough how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Dave Grohl has been attending therapy '6 days a week' since fathering child outside of his marriage

Dave Grohlis speaking out about his infidelity and mental health after announcing that he'dwelcomed a child out of wedlock in 2024.

TheFoo Fightersfrontman andNirvanadrummer, 57, toldThe Guardianthat he is currently attending "therapy six days a week" and has been for the last "70 weeks." He added, "I did the math the other day: over 430 sessions."

The experience has taught him to be more communicative "not only with others, but with myself," Grohl said. He also acknowledged that "there were so many things that led me to this therapy," not just his infidelity.

Still, when asked about his extramarital affair, the "Monkey Wrench" singer explained that the lyrics on the band's upcoming 12th studio album,Your Favorite Toy, say everything he wants to about the situation.

"I have to be perfectly honest. Writing songs and writing lyrics about these things is sometimes enough," Grohl said. "As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still do reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem."

He continued, "But I think that for many reasons, I wound up in a place that I needed to stop and sit with myself and re-evaluate myself. It's an ongoing process."

In his September 2024 statement, Grohl announced that he'd "become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage" and was "doing everything I can to regain [his family's] trust and earn their forgiveness."The rocker has been married to his second wife, Jordyn Blum, since 2003, and the pair share three daughters together: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.

Grohl also opened up about how he handled the public's reaction to his announcement.

"I had to turn everything off, one of those things being my concern for what other people think," he said. "Being able to shut off that part of yourself can be sometimes a very healthy exercise in considering life within your immediate radius. Not giving all of that so much currency within yourself that it can completely destroy yourself."

Grohl also looked back at a period in his life over several years during which he spread himself thin crafting the 2014 HBO docuseriesSonic Highways, penning his 2021 memoirThe Storyteller, and performing around the world.

"I'm like, God, what was I trying to prove? There is such a thing as addiction to achievement, and it's dangerous," Grohl said. "You'll set a goal for yourself and you put everything you have into it; the world disappears. Then you achieve that finish line, and it feels good for 24 f---ing hours, and that feeling immediately goes away. And there's that hole again, there's that emptiness, and you're like, shit, I need to fill it up with something else."

When asked if that somehow contributed to his infidelity, Grohl responded, "No. I think that's how I ended up overextending myself and getting lost."

He continued, "I wasn't sitting with myself and really letting [feelings] go from my head into my heart. Getting to the point where I was just like, I need to stop, turn everything off and find my heart."

Foo Fighters' new albumYour Favorite Toyis out April 24.

They were painting nails for a party. Then an Iranian missile killed them

As they painted their nails and curled their eyelashes for the end of Ramadan, family and friends in Sahira and Hadeel's Beauty Salon were not too worried when they heard the faint sound of sirens in the distance.

Instead, the women continued their preparations for Eid, believing there was little chance thatan Iranian missilewould be heading towards the small Palestinian town of Beit Awwa, in the Hebron Hills.

Moments later, the peaceful evening came to an end as shrapnel ripped through the walls of the beauty parlour and blew the door off its hinges.

Sahira, 36, Amal, 29, and Mais, 30, all from the same extended family of the Masalmeh clan, which calls the village home, died instantly as the blast erupted next to the shed housing the salon.

Another of the women, Aseel, 29, died in hospital, with her death announced as the other victims were about to be buried.

As well as preparing to celebrate Eid, which was expected to fall on Thursday or Friday, Aseel and Amal were several months pregnant and looking forward to welcoming their new children later in the year.

The four young women, described as "kind and beautiful", were the first Palestinians to die duringIsrael and Iran's conflict, and are the latest victims to die after Iran launched cluster munitions indiscriminately at towns and cities.

TheIsrael Defense Forces (IDF)said the incident was a "direct hit" from one of the missiles – which are used to scatter dozens of bombs through the sky – but Palestinian officials claimed that the damage was caused by an errant Israeli interceptor.

Cluster munitions have been bypassing Israeli defences in recent weeks with a "shotgun" approach, equivalent to firing "pellets" at Israeli targets. Even if the main warhead is intercepted, the munitions can still sometimes be deployed and can land at locations miles apart.

Ten other people were injured in Wednesday's attack, including a three-year-old girl and Sahira's sister-in-law and business partner Hadeel, 24, who survived with shrapnel injuries to her eyes, stomach and legs.

"We were working as usual," Hadeel, wearing a white hospital bandage over her nose and forehead, told The Telegraph as friends and family consoled her.

"We heard the sirens but didn't pay attention – we didn't think anything would happen or that anything would fall on us."

She said a customer had gone outside and seen "something glowing in the sky, red in colour" but she told her not to worry, believing that it would not land in the town.

"I told her to come back inside so nothing would happen to us," she said. "She stayed scared, standing behind me, while I continued working normally.

"Suddenly, the electricity went out and something struck. I didn't see anything. I opened the door and went outside, and I didn't even realise that I was injured.

"I started screaming and called my aunt and uncle telling them 'Come, save them.' My aunt went in to help the girls and started screaming 'Sahira is dead, Sahira is dead'."

Hadeel spoke after leaving hospital to pay her respects to Sahira and the other women.

"I haven't completed my treatment, I left to say goodbye to Sahira," she said. "I lost her. I couldn't believe she had been killed. I wanted to see her."

Unlike Israeli towns, Beit Awwa has no alarms or bomb shelters. The only reliable signal of incoming fire is the sound of sirens from the settlement of Negohot, two miles away.

The horror of the tragedy was visible to all on Wednesday as friends gazed in disbelief at the dried pools of blood on the floor. Red stains could be seen spattered on the walls, next to butterfly decorations and drawings of manicured nails and eyelashes.

Brightly coloured lipsticks, varnish, acrylic nails and other beauty products lay strewn across the salon, while curlers and foundation kits were seen scattered outside alongside shrapnel.

On the building's exterior, moon and star fairy lights hung up for Ramadan had been tossed aside by the blast, which hit with such force that shrapnel entered through one wall and out the other.

Witnesses said they ran to save the women only to discover that it was too late when they were met with the sight of severed limbs and a "river of blood" within the salon.

Abedullrazig Almasalmeh, 32, a neighbour, said: "I heard the sound of the blast and then voices. Then I heard screams, crying. People started to run and I found Sahira's mother at the main door. She was crying, and she told me, she told me 'my daughter is dead'.

"I told her, 'don't worry, inshallah, everything will be okay'. The I entered the salon and there was a bloody river, there were lower, upper limbs, organs everywhere. It was horrible."

Palestinians had hoped to stay clear of the conflict, which began last month, but Wednesday's atrocity left them in a situation that they described as "Bein Narain", Arabic for being caught between two fires.

As mourners prepared to carry the bodies, draped in blankets and Palestinian flags, towards a funeral prayer in a school playground, there was a reminder of the danger as a missile warning came through on a handful of phones that receive Israeli alerts.

For weeks, residents had been watching the news, seeing Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other Israeli citiescome under attackand occasionally hearing missiles flying above. However, until Wednesday, they did not think of themselves as collateral for the Iranian regime.

"When I see the rockets and TV, I wasn't afraid, but when I saw the scene of the women's bodies outside I was shocked," Suhair, a cousin of Sahira, said.

"We see the situation, the war between Iran and Israel. We see the rockets, we hear the rockets many times. But we didn't think that it was going to hit this village, maybe Hebron because it's big, but not here or the salon. Now everyone does not want to leave the house. There are no sirens or shelters. We feel afraid – there is no safety."

The IDF and Iran continued to trade blows on Thursday as Tehran continued to firecluster munitionsand the use of the banned weapons have claimed the lives of at least four Israeli civilians.

Now the residents of Beit Awwa are feeling the same pain as bereaved families on the other side of the Green Line, having been dragged into a war that was nothing to do with them.

"What is our fault?" Hadeel said. "We were in our workplace, earning our living. What do they want from us?".

Satellite images begin to show damage wrought by Iran war

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Satellite images are beginning to be released giving a glimpse into the toll ofthe Iran war, with ships ablaze in an Iranian port and destroyed buildings at an American base.

Emirates Iran War

Information has so far been scarce about thedamage being done across the Middle East, particularly when it's inside closed military facilities, since the war started on Feb. 28.

The images come from Planet Labs PBC, a San Francisco-based firm used by media outlets, including The Associated Press. Planet Labs has put a two-week delay on its imagery becoming public, citing concerns its imagery could be used by "adversarial actors."

High-resolution images also have been published by competing firms. Other providers, like the U.S. Geological Survey, have been publishing lower-resolution imagery as well that's been useful.

The United States and Israel have been striking awide variety of targets, includingleadership figuresin Iran, military bases, missile and air defense sites and positions of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and its volunteer force, the Basij. Iran has responded with drone and missile fire targeting Israel and nearby Gulf Arab nations.

Here's a look at what's visible in a selection of Planet Labs' pictures, as well as others.

Burning ships in Bandar Abbas, Iran

Some of the most dramatic images from Planet Labs so far have been in Bandar Abbas, home to a major Iranian military port next to the crucialStrait of Hormuzconnecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

Images taken on March 2 show ships ablaze at the port. The U.S. military's Central Command has been targeting Iran's naval assets and says it has sank or damaged more than 100 Iranian vessels so far in the war.

Israeli airstrike hits Iran's Parchin military base

Planet Labs' images from March 6 show damage to several buildings at the Parchin military base outside Tehran, Iran's capital.

The International Atomic Energy Agency suspects Iran in the past conducted tests of high explosives that could trigger a nuclear weapon. Iran long has insisted its nuclear program is peaceful, though the IAEA, Western intelligence agencies and others say Tehran had an active weapons program up until 2003.

Israel's military said its Parchin strikes hit "infrastructure used for the production of essential components for the development of various weapons." The site has been linked to Iran's ballistic missile program as well.

Major impact at 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain

The island kingdom of Bahrain, home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, has seen heavy Iranian fire targeting both military bases and oil installations. A March 1 image by Planet Labs shows a major building at the base destroyed, as well as two radomes — geodesic domes covering radar antennas — likely by Iranian missile and drone fire. A later, March 6 Planet Labs photo showed another building damaged.

The Navy has not offered a clear breakdown in the damage done so far at the base, but Iran has repeatedly claimed to have attacked it. Online videos have also shown incoming fire targeting the base. During the 12-day war in June, Iran attacked and destroyed a similar radome at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, used for secure communications.

Satellite images show damage to UAE air base

Satellite images, taken March 15 by an Airbus Defense and Space Pléiades Neo satellite and analyzed by the AP, show damage at Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra Air Base. Damage can be seen at one set of hangars to the northwest of the facility. Another hangar to the southeast of the facility appears shredded by fire, with an adjacent hangar sustaining roof damage. It's unclear what was in the hangars.

Al Dhafra typically hosts some 2,000 American troops and has served as a major base of operations for everything from armed drones to F-35 stealth fighters in recent years. The U.S. military for years only vaguely referred to Al Dhafra as a base in "southwest Asia" before the UAE became more willing to acknowledge the American presence there.

French naval base hit in Abu Dhabi

In Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, there's damage seen at France's Camp de la Paix naval base. Satellite images from March 3 show damage to two large hangarlike buildings at the facility. The base is near Zayed Port, in Abu Dhabi, and close to its Cultural District that includes the Louvre Abu Dhabi and other major museums both open and still under construction.

Fires seen burning

The U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat satellites also have been key in spotting major fires. Imagery from Landsat taken on Monday showed a fire at Dubai International Airport after anIranian drone strike set a fuel tanker ablazeat the world's busiest airport for international travel, causing a plume of noxious black smoke.

Another fire was also seen on Monday at Oman's southern port in Salalah, which came under attack from suspected Iranian drones on March 11, though Tehran has denied launching them in its campaign targeting Gulf Arab states. The fire apparently has been burning since then.

TSA workers pushed to the brink as DHS shutdown forces some to get 2nd jobs

The ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown is taking its toll on the thousands of Transportation Security Administration employees at airports who have been working without pay.

Approximately 60,000 TSA officers who have gone over a month with partial pay began receiving their first $0 paychecks last week.

Many say they are living in fear, with some taking on extra jobs or even leaving the agency altogether to make ends meet.

And if there is no relief soon, veteran TSA leaders fear that the stress and uncertainty could impact operations for years.

"Who wants to go work in public service in the public sector when you're treated like a yo-yo?" a TSA worker who asked to remain anonymous told ABC News.

The current partial shutdown, now in its second month, comes close to last fall's 43-day federal government shutdown, which paused payments to thousands of TSA workers, who were still required to work their shift.

Video TSA agent on working without pay: No 'fuel to continue coming to work'

Angela Grana, a TSA officer at Durango-La Plata County Airport in Colorado, told ABC News Live on Monday, the first day that TSA workers missed their checks, that the entire situation has been humiliating for her co-workers.

"The stories I get are very demoralizing," Grana, who serves as the state's regional vice president for AFGE TSA Local 1127, said. "To go ahead and do the Uber Eats or any other kind of side job, we have to have extra permission. For now, we can't just do it."

Senate Democrats have vowed to block funding for DHS until reforms are made to Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal law enforcement.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on Democrats Monday to join a discharge petition that would fund all DHS agencies except for ICE.

A vote on similar legislation failed earlier in the Senate. Jeffries would need at least four Republicans to sign on with all Democrats for the discharge petition to move forward.

TSA says nearly 10% of its officers called out sick Tuesday

Grana said the stress of making ends meet and keeping the airports safe is getting to a lot of TSA officers. Several airports across the country have begunfood pantriesfor their employees affected by the partial shutdown.

"Let me tell you, for us to be concentrating on our jobs without the hunger pains in our stomachs. It's really difficult to do. We can't get it wrong," Grana said.  "We have to get it right every time. We cannot miss a bag, we cannot miss a threat."

Jill DeJanovich, a TSA officer at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and single mom of four, was one of the nearly 2,700 TSA workerswho called out sickthis week, because of the demands put on her.

DeJanovich, who is the a AFGE Local 1260 Chief Administrative Point of contact in Nevada, said she is frustrated with Congress for not moving forward and ending the quagmire over funding.

"Someone needs to cross the line before Congress goes on break for Easter recess," she said.

While some TSA officers said they had to power on through, for others, like Robert Echeverria, the strain of a second DHS shutdown in five months proved to be too much.

After nine years working at Salt Lake City International Airport a lead TSA officer, Echeverria told ABC News that he left his job after the current shutdown. Echeverria said his family's life savings were depleted after the last shutdown.

"Emotionally, we couldn't go through that strain anymore," he told ABC News.

"It was just really hard for my wife and emotionally to see my kids going through a hard time asking for things, and we wouldn't be able to actually help them out," he added.

A TSA worker who asked not to be named warned that the loss of employees can't easily be fixed.

"Losing seasoned employees is very difficult to replace," the TSA worker said. "New hires take two years to get off probation."

Airports collect donations for TSA staffers during government shutdown

The worker added that the accumulating debt borne by government employees will also affect staffing.

"One of the requirements is that you have a great credit rating. A lot of our officers are not going to have that now," they said.

Joseph Cerletti, a TSA officer at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, told ABC News that he struggles to explain to his kids about their financial issues now that his family has to depend solely on his wife's income.

Cerletti relented that he and his coworkers "don't have the upper ground here" when it comes to fighting for their rights.

"It's very hard to find words in the English language to describe how I feel about it, other than speechless," he said. "This is just what I've been describing lately as figuratively an uphill gunfight."

The new mom — whopostedabout her at-home birth and Moore's help through it — said in 2020 that she was glad she waited for the right partner before becoming a parent.

"It's important to wait. I think it's so important not to rush in and have it be about the lust or about, you know, that immediate connection, then building a real foundation,"she saidwhile guest co-hosting onThe Talkin November 2020.

She also joked at the time about how Bruce —who has three daughters with Moore and two with his wife Emma Heming Willis— had told her he was hoping for a grandson. "Even my dad puts pressure on me. Over quarantine, he was like, 'So I'd like for you to have a son because I need some male energy in this group.' It's a lot of women, obviously. He has five daughters and my mom and my step-mom. There's just a lot of female energy."
