‘Matrix’ turns 25: Keanu Reaves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne then and now.

“The Matrix” is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The movie follows Neo, a computer hacker whose world is turned upside down when he is pulled out of his reality and told the world he knew is a simulation and the human race has been used as a battery pack for robots who have taken over. He then claims his status as “The One” and teams up with other humans who have been unplugged to free the rest of the human race from the robots.

Not only did the movie entice audiences with an original story, it set the bar for visual effects at the time, with many movies trying to replicate its infamous “bullet time” slow motion effect. It rang in $467 million at the worldwide box office.

Here is what the cast has been up to since the film’s 1999 release.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves was already an established actor when he signed on to play Neo in “The Matrix,” having already starred in “Point Break,” “Speed,” “Dangerous Liasons” and “Much Ado About Nothing.” 

Aside from the two Matrix sequels, Reeves continued acting in dramas and love stories, notably “Constantine” and “The Lake House,” which saw him reunite with “Speed” co-star, Sandra Bullock. He later appeared in “Man of Tai Chi” and “47 Ronan” before starting the “John Wick” franchise.

Between John Wick movies, he has starred in “To The Bone,” “Always Be My Maybe,” “Toy Story 4,” “Bill and Ted Face the Music,” “The Matrix Resurrections” and “DC League of Super Pets.”

Reeves and his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, went public with their relationship in November 2019.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Carrie-Anne Moss worked primarily in television on shows like “Models Inc.” and “Dark Justice,” before starring as Trinity in “The Matrix,” and all three of its sequels. 

She went on to star in successful films outside the franchise, including “Memento” and “Chocolat,” alongside Johnny Depp, later starring in “Disturbia,” “Fireflies in the Garden,” “Unthinkable” and the short-lived series “Vegas.”

In addition to lending her voice to many projects and appearing in various television shows, she also starred in “Knife Fight,” “Silent Hill,” “Frankenstein” and “The Bye Bye Man,” as well as the shows “Humans” and “Tell Me a Story.” 

From 2015 to 2019, Moss starred in the Netflix show “Jessica Jones.” Most recently, she starred in “Wisting” and “Accidental Texan.”

Moss married American actor Steven Roy in 1999, and they have three children; Owen, Kaden and Frances Beatrice.
