Director Danny Boyle is to stage a live version of The Matrix, recreating the 1999 film through "dance, music and visual effects".

Boyle is known for films like Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting, and the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.

He didn't make the seminal Keanu Reeves movie, but is now turning The Matrix's story of simulated reality into a live "large-scale immersive performance".

It will be one of the opening shows at Manchester's £186m Factory arts venue.

The show, titled Free Your Mind, will be staged at the ambitious 7,000-capacity venue in October and November 2023.

"Spectacular visual effects, a cast of professional dancers and hundreds of Manchester participants will recreate some of the film's most iconic scenes, provoking visions of an alternative future," a statement said.

Not seen any of the Matrix films,  are they interesting or tedious?

It depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside a simulated reality, the Matrix, which intelligent machines have created to distract humans while using their bodies as an energy source.[7] When computer programmer Thomas Anderson, under the hacker alias "Neo", uncovers the truth, he joins a rebellion against the machines along with other people who have been freed from the Matrix.

I could watch it on video but wouldn't bother going to the cinema
