First of all, unlike what some people have said, a prequel is perfectly valid. In fact, I'd *love* to see a movie about and in the timeframe of "the guy who is reincarnated as Neo". In fact, this could really open up the Matrix as a mainstream Sci-Fi world - I always thought they should have shown more of the "war with machines" in the Terminator series, maybe I'll get my chance with the Matrix:) As for a sequel, that to me seems more difficult to create than a prequel. However, it's easier to write away from an existing story than to write towards one, so I'm sure a sequel would be executed beautifully.
Secondly, everyone is talking about this "groundbreaking" move to release the next 2 Matrix movies one right after another... Sorry, been done - anyone remember Back to the Future 2 and 3???;)
