Cinematographer John Toll, who won two back-to-back Oscars for his work for Edward Zwick's Legends of the Fall in 1994 and Mel Gibson's Braveheart in 1995, is in negotiations to shoot the new Matrix movie, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Lana Wachowski, who co-created the trilogy with Lilly Wachowski, is returning to the director's chair for the endeavor, and Toll's deal, when closed, will reunite him with the filmmaker, for whom he shot the features Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending and the Wachowskis' Netflix series Sense8.

Matrix 4 is also bringing back Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss to reprise their respective roles as Neo and Trinity. Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow are backing the latest installment of the action franchise.
