The Matrix Re-Reloaded 640
derGoldstein writes "According to Keanu Reeves: ' Matrix 4 and 5 are coming.' At an event that took place at the London International School of Performing Arts, 'Reeves revealed that he met with the Wachowskis around Christmas. They told him that they completed script treatments for two more Matrix installments. They are planning to make the films in 3D and have already met with James Cameron to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the technology. Reeves added that he's excited to return as Neo and promised that the treatments will truly revolutionize the action genre like the first Matrix film did.'"

I thought they only ever made 1 movie, and it was good.
Wouldn't this technically qualify as a second? I sure hope they don't dirty the concept with some crazy machine war, or an oddly pointless death of Neo's love interest.

Dude, I thought at the end of 2 that they were going to go with a "you idiot, they're still in the matrix, the solution to people not being able to handle it was just to fool them into thinking they had escaped so they'd stop fighting it" approach.
After all, THAT would at least have explained better why Neo was able to sense the damn squidbots and blow them up.
But no, then they take the 3rd movie and bash you in the head with "Neo=Jesus" crap and a goddamn Dragonball Z-ish fistfight. The only thing missing was Neo's hair turning bright fucking yellow and standing on end when he Goku'ed out.

That's all fine, but am I the only one who had hoped the next movie by the Wachowski brothers would be a documentary about their personal lives?

maybe the Wachowskis have learned something from 2 and 3. Then again, maybe they're just the next George Lucas.

Neo will be the Blue Ranger, Adama the Black, Kirk the Pink, Frodo the Yellow and Arthur Dent the Red. They will ride a big Cylon mecha called Sauron.
They will find out that the Matrix true purpose is not energy generation, but to discover the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
In the end, we all die of boredom.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. There was only one matrix movie. There were some movies on the docket, but everyone held true to their artistic values and didn't make them. Good men I tell you; good men.
While we're at it: I'd like to clear up the rumors around Star Wars. There were some very terrible people suggesting that Lucas do some very terrible things including a prequel trilogy. As far as I heard, ideas were drawn up and they were so bad that some of Lucas' inner circle pursuded him no to create a prequel or "remaster" the theatrical version. Those people are saints and heros in my opinion. Can you imagine if they weren't honest with him?

I know what you mean. Saw this really great movie in the 80's called Highlander. It's a good thing Hollywood isn't so corrupt and bankrupt of ideas as to attempt a sequel with that! I mean really, how dumb would that be? The tagline for the movie is "There can be only one!"
A sequel to that wouldn't make any sense at all. I'm so glad they never tried.

My personal theory was that the machines won a long time ago, felt bad about killing all the humans, so created a bunch of programs to mimic them for study.
That would nicely explain the acting.
