10 Media Franchises That Need The LEGO Treatment
6. The Matrix
With a new Matrix film set to be released in December 2021, a
tie in LEGO game to the beloved science fiction franchise would be a good way
to bring a fresh audience into the dystopian world created by the Wachowskis.
The original Matrix trilogy features a variety of unique characters and
exciting set pieces that would blend seamlessly into the LEGO format, something
that fans hope will continue in the Matrix 4.
The adventures of Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and the people of Zion provide a very visual story similar to that of film franchises like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings that LEGO has adapted in the past. Iconic moments such as the mission to save Morpheus from The Matrix, the freeway chase from The Matrix Reloaded and the battle of Zion from The Matrix Revolutions would be easy to adapt into fun LEGO levels, with the epic visuals of the Matrix blending with the goofy tone of the LEGO games.
As well as the original Matrix trilogy and the upcoming
Matrix 4, there is the option to adapt content from other related properties,
such as The Animatrix, an animated film produced and directed by the Wachowskis,
and Enter the Matrix, a critically acclaimed video game also directed by the
Wachowskis.
