The sequel to The Matrix promises more action and ground-breaking special effects. Again stars Keanu Reeves as Neo, now a superhuman figure capable of amazing feats. It will probably end with a cliffhanger that leads directly to the 3rd film. Other cast members include Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Hugo Weaving. The late Aaliyah was to have had a role in the film but her part is being recast.
While the first film focused on the birth of 
Neo, the second will focus on his life (with the third to focus on death, though it’s not clear whether it’s Neo’s death or the death of the computers that control the world).
