British eyewear maker Tom Davies was the filmmakers’ choice to produce new versions of cinema’s most iconic frames for the epic new film The Matrix Resurrections. For the agents, it's another deal altogether. They wear it as a disguise. An additional layer of impersonality. It's standard MIB fantasy clothing. A dark suit and shades. Tom went from being a huge fan of the films to a huge fan who created all the eyewear for The Matrix Resurrections. During the pandemic, Tom was asked to bespoke all the characters via Zoom. Says Tom: “I usually bespoke the talent in person, this was quite challenging as I had to do everything online. I had to create over 10 different versions of nose clip sunglasses for Yahya, who played Morpheus in the film, to make sure it would stay on during all the action scenes and fit him well! I usually bespoke actors in person, but during the pandemic, it was quite challenging as I had to do everything online. I ended up creating 10 pairs of nose-clips to make sure they would stay on during all the action scenes and still look great!" - Tom Davies

In my view, there is nothing in the creative industry that has such a fundamental impact on someone’s appearance as eyewear. A well-designed pair of spectacles can completely change how people perceive an actor onscreen,” Davies said. LexyActually the original reason this trope started (real world answer here) is because anyone learning to fire a gun, or who does not do so fairly often, has a tendancy to blink or close their eyes when the shoot. Which in real life a momentary blink is not too bad, but it looks a bit silly on screen. Particularly in slow motion. Original U.S. Military 60s sunglasses, made in USA.
