Red pill or blue pill? Choose your The Matrix Resurrections teaser trailer

The fourth instalment of the franchise hits screens on December 22

No longer a glitch in our cybernetic fantasies, you can now catch your first glimpse at The Matrix: Resurrections in a new interactive teaser. Before you do, however, you must choose: red pill or blue pill?

The teasers can be found on thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com (a clever resurrection of the original 90s domain). Each clip displays the current time in the visitor’s location. They also feature brief moments from the film, including some of Reeves as Neo.

According to Gizmodo, the website can unlock 180,000 unique video teasers. Which teaser is offered up at any given time reportedly depends on the time of day and which pill is chosen.

The pill, of course, refers to the iconic scene in the 1999 Matrix film in which Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) asks Neo (Keanu Reeves) to pick between two pills. The blue pill would enable Neo to remain ignorant of the Matrix, whereas the red pill would reveal the truth. 

Matrix: Resurrections is planned for release on December 22 in the UK and in the US. It is the fourth film in the Matrix franchise and will come out 18 years after the most recent instalment, the 2003 The Matrix Revolutions.
