Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

粉丝向福利作品 类似鲁鲁修的复活剧场版 有趣的地方在于前期各种戏谑式的把前作剧情混入虚拟世界 让尼奥和观众做了对调 甚至借助剧情中的角色对于资方华纳兄弟进行了无情的吐槽
中年危机英雄迟暮的neo，很多熟面孔，增加了演员种族多样性，说话太多以至于没有以前那么酷了
烂到我都忘了标记了。开头meta的部分还能看，后面就彻底是煎熬了。"巴尼叔叔"能加点分，最后一场里他就"巴尼叔叔"。
其实还是情怀满满啦，只不过从科幻片变成爱情片也是没想到，强行给三部曲的遗憾来了一个“圆月情节”。超前的理念使得三部曲在20年前是神作，Matrix至今依然无处不在，但第四部的确nothing new，情怀（又称“捞钱”）之作啦！老粉看得很开心，不要拍第五部了！
这都什么玩意儿……1. 没钱请武指？2.剧情都这样了就更需要一些绿色滤镜好吧 3.neo变成电池了有点搞笑 4.Smith对neo才是真爱……
华纳，搞垮我DC，搞垮我黑客帝国，不让我德普演格林德沃
被掩盖身份的游戏设计师尼奥在Matrix之后的新作叫做Binary，如同对这部近乎非黑即白的二元式续作的自喻；沦为流民的法国人对新版矩阵的咒骂，更像是沃卓斯基对这个时代喃喃自语陈词滥调的牢骚。当曾经那些成为经典的影像穿插其中时，这部作品在效果上其实是一次通过对前作文本自身进行浅显解构而写就的无聊社论。
用拙劣的手法把过去的故事又讲了一遍，不仅是狗尾续貂，还从某种程度上否定过去的经典。导演的自嘲很有意味
看他们唠嗑打架并不觉得很差可能这就是所谓的降低预期结果
不对，没有老三部曲的逼格了，打架不戴墨镜还能叫黑客帝国？没有惊艳的动作设计，影像风格更接近于疾速追杀，救世主除了气功啥也不会，很失望，尤其是结局，又是小情侣穿上滑板鞋上天？多打一星纯粹是因为情怀，以及希望还能看到续集
其实主要的问题是，在过去这样活在游戏或虚拟世界的故事看着挺新鲜的，而现在已经有很多人拍摄过类似的故事，人们都已经熟悉了VR，再重新来就很难拍出新鲜内容，最终影片只是在卖弄情怀，让中年观众找个理由怀念一下从前。把老角色带回其实需要一个更能说服人的理由，并最终还得是需要完成新角色的塑造和故事弧度，这就是#蜘蛛侠英雄无归# 和#星战8# 所做的，带来了情怀，但最终老角色的目的是帮助新角色得到成长。但是本片则选择错了重点，把故事中心依然放在基努的尼奥和崔妮蒂身上，为了他俩的爱情又折腾出一部电影。早年基努的英姿早已不在，怎么看他在全片里都更像是John Wick.
哦，他们可以。
代码创造的一切看似真实的世界都是虚假，爱情创造的一切看似虚假的情感都是真实。我如何把你从吊舱里拯救，却需要你放任孩子的啼哭，即使那孩子是系统创造的。我如何让你拒绝矩阵里草莓的甜美，而是来到地下种植草莓。系统可以欺骗的味觉和情感，当工蜂从睡梦中的床上弹起，谁在乎他们有过怎样的人生。
时代变了，市场不景气了，我相信你能理解为什么我们心爱的母公司华纳兄弟，要决定制作三部曲的续集了吧，他们告诉我，不管有没有我们，他们都会做续集，如果我们不合作，他们会终止我们的合同。（导演值得一星，基努值得一星，其它没有值得一星的了）
没有了反思人类和人工智能的命运，没了这个内核，没得灵魂。估计是导演想和Neo叙叙旧才坑投资人拍的
导演表达得挺明白了：不是我想拍，有人要我拍……笑归笑，合成人的概念感觉没准会在某种程度上实现永生。如果真的实现，家祭无忘告乃翁啊。
复活男女主的设定勉强能接受吧，女主飞翔救男主也很拉好感（“你不能管管她吗”？不能啊哈哈哈哈哈！），但最后结局？？？
3.最后要说的是演员了，老演员雨果艾隆王请不起，请新演员模仿，就和亮剑翻拍一样，小鲜肉演技真不行。导演还没事就放几段老三部曲片段，简直自我打脸。
女性觉醒、摆脱家庭、奔向自由，崔尼蒂从之前的辅助变成C位，电影不管是外在的色调、动作设计还是内在的主题都跟原三部曲不太契合，这更像是拉娜沃卓斯基变性后借助黑客帝国这个科幻大IP的个人表达。即便在看过预告之后就充分调低了预期，也没想到能全方位拉垮到这个地步，美剧级的炒冷饭(好像辱美剧了…)
与前作相差甚远 动作场景莫名拉胯 节奏也拖拖拉拉 情怀还是在的 致敬点都很让人心潮澎湃 最可惜的是老Smith没回来 不然还能涨一星
