The Matrix Resurrections

Sixty years after the events of "The Matrix Revolutions," video game developer Thomas Anderson (Reeves) creates "The Matrix," a game based on his dreams, which, unknown to him, are actually his own suppressed memories from his time as Neo. Following several chance encounters with Tiffany (Moss), a married mother, in his local coffee shop, Anderson finds himself having difficulty separating his most recent dreams from reality. Things come to a head when Anderson stops taking blue pills prescribed by his therapist (Harris), and he, with the help of new and old friends, must travel through a Matrix much stronger and more advanced than any he's experienced. "The Matrix Resurrections" is the fourth installment in "The Matrix" franchise.

He fails to mention the many missing kids, however, who've supposedly been taken by a vengeful spirit named la Llorona (Fandiño).

<span>Q: Will Rowan Atkinson do any more "Mr. Bean" shows?</span>

It depends on whether you consider the cartoon to be part of the canon.

After the original international hit "Mr. Bean" series made the character famous, star Rowan Atkinson and writer Richard Curtis made a "Mr. Bean" cartoon series. It is less well-remembered today, even though it ran for much longer, releasing more than 100 episodes, compared to 15 episodes of the live-action show.

Q: Did John Grisham ever do a TV show based on one of his books? Or was it just movies?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

There have been two attempts at capturing the Grisham-movie magic on the small screen, both unsuccessful. But maybe the third time's a charm?

Lawyer-turned-author John Grisham's novels have been reliably successful when translated to the big screen (his first, 1993's "The Firm," made $270 million on a $42-million budget), but not so on the small screen.

TV moms used to be wholesome, mild-mannered do-gooders, but they have (thankfully) evolved over the years. Still, viewers are about to meet a mom like no other.
