A statement as per BBC read, "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."
Boyle, who belongs to Radcliffe in Greater Manchester, said 'The Matrix' was an "extraordinarily prophetic film and a wonderfully enjoyable film whose warnings about the power and possible abuses of technology were ahead of its time."
"I remember seeing the first one and, as I think was true for a lot of people, not really understanding what I was seeing, except enjoying it on a visceral level and being bewildered and intrigued on it. And it's not often that a film reveals itself to you over the next 10 to 15 years, which is what's happened," he added.
Starring Keanu Reeves in the lead role, 'The Matrix' was directed by the Wachaowskis. Considered one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made, the film imagined that our world is but a programme created by advanced and hostile machines to keep humanity enslaved and unaware of its shackles.
