The Matrix Re-Reloaded

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.'"

Awesome!

I've been waiting for two more Matrix movies ever since the last one came out in 1999!

Re:Awesome!

[Tr3vin]

Same here. I've also been waiting on that last season of Lost. I'm sure it will have a thrilling conclusion.

Surprise, asshole! I bet you never saw this coming, did ya?

In other news....

[Orleron]

....George Lucas is adopting the Wachowski brothers.

2012

It can't come soon enough.

I agree, how could they be at 4 anyway?

[Wrexs0ul]

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.

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.

Matrix 4: Scene: Suburbia
Neo and gang mow lawns and clean pools.
Hot chick with pushup bra babysits for Neo, Trinity looks disgusted.
More mall shopping.

Matrix 5: Scene: Rural Farm
Neo and gang plant corn.
Hot chick with pushup bra milks a cow, Trinity looks disgusted.
More square dancing.

[MadKeithV]

I'm rooting for Pastafarian.
Matrix 4: Spaghetti Code.

Re:Sequels not that bad

[PopeRatzo]

Neo is likely at least partly a machine

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?

Re:No.

[s0litaire]

I'm just hoping for a Bill & Ted / Matrix Crossover movie....

Re:Oh...

[Culture20]

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

"Meesa save da humans in da Matrix! Whoah."

Re:I got the script for 4 & 5

[Combatso]

Matrix 4: Morpheus comes to Neo and Trinity, must take them to the future, something has to be done about their kids.
Matrix 5: Nebuchadnezzar struck by lightening, taken back to 1885, Neo must travel back in time to rescue Morpheus

Re:No.

I know the plot: Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, HHGTTG and Battlestar Galactica worlds are all instances of the matrix, like dimensions. A hero from each dimension will come wearing a diferent colored costume, and together will form The Matrix Rangers.

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?

Re:No.

[Weaselmancer]

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.
