The pandemic had a disastrous effect on the film and television industry, and it’s far from over. The box office was crippled, with tens of billions of dollars being lost to the various lockdowns put in place all over the world, while the cost of every production skyrocketed due to the health and safety protocols that quickly became a requirement.

One of the most heavily-affected was The Matrix Resurrections, which was shut down for months and delayed by almost an entire year as COVID-19 ground the planet to a standstill. Not ideal circumstances for a mega budget sci-fi blockbuster, and things got so bad that director Lana Wachowski didn’t think cameras would ever start rolling again.
