The Matrix becomes… a hip hop musical

by

Danny Boyle will direct the dance adaptation of the famous 1999 film with Keanu Reeves, entitled Free Your Mind.

Others were excited about the idea but most were skeptical (to say the least).

The news that the first Matrix was being turned into a musical – and a hip-hop one at that – came as an insult to the millions of fans of the 1999 sci-fi classic.

Slumdog Millionaire Oscar winner Danny Boyle will direct the musical Free Your Mind, with Mikey J composing the music and Kenrick “H2O” Sandy providing the choreography.

“Combining the hip-hop choreography of hundreds of dancers with the latest immersive design, ‘Free Your Mind’ will take audiences on a thrilling journey through ‘The Matrix’ and into a new realm of possibility,” a statement said.

The musical will debut next October at Factory International, a new arts venue in Manchester, UK.
