Rumor: A New Matrix Trilogy Is in the Works
Word has it that the Wachowskis are about to take the Red Pill again.

We’ve heard about a return to the world of the Matrix on the big screen here and there over the years, but now a new report indicates that Warner Bros. and series creators the Wachowski siblings are moving ahead on a new trilogy in the series.

Latino Review has the scoop, saying that the Wachowskis have started the writing process and have turned in treatments and outlines to Warners. It’s not clear whether or not they’ll direct the films, if they actually come to pass.


Also not clear: Whether or not Keanu Reeves or any original cast members will return. LR does say one of the early outlines is about the birth of the Matrix, which would predate Neo.

This is all very early in the process, obviously, and that’s assuming that LR’s sources are even correct. But if they are -- which they usually are -- what do you guys think? Is a return to the Matrix in order?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Hell yeah.

I fucking love this universe, haters be damned. I'd love to see more Matrix!

Bring it on.

 

[Darksol]

If true, could be cool. I'm a big fan of the first three.

 

[BadAss2961]

Eh... Why not? Can't get worse than Revolutions.

seriously after how the first trilogy progressed, how could anyone want more Matrix?

 

[Mononoke]

Liked the first movie. Thought the Animatrix was amazing. But I really hated the second and third movie. The universe is incredible, no doubt. I don't know how they can do three more movies, when they couldn't even really do a good job with the first three.

Not sure that's true. Regardless, no thanks.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Native 3D bullet time goodness or gtfo.

 

[Xav]

To be honest I'm not too concerned whether it will be a good movie or not. I just watch to see guys in suits punch each other in slow motion.

The first Matrix was cool but there's no redeeming the series after Reloaded & Revolutions.

Eh... Why not? Can't get worse than Revolutions.

Exactly. I already consider the first one to be the only "real" one. No reason not to at this point, I'll probably watch at least the first to check it out. Let's do this.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

lol

 

[bobbychalkers]

I'd be down for this, I actually liked 2 and 3.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I could see them dealing with the machine war and creation of the matrix, and then how that ties into the events after the original trilogy.

 

[Metalmarc]

I'd hope they'd let other directors take a shot at it, or even develop it into a T.V series of self contained stories maybe rather than one large series spanning story, kinda like Animatrix, short stories but live action and if needs be some stories could be two parters.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Technology is definitely here now for some amazing Matrix-themed flicks. I'm in!

 

[Shadow2222]

Yes please! Honestly, I liked Reloaded AND Revolutions, and a semi-origin story could be really good. I'm curious when it would take place, as we know the true birth of the Matrix already from the Animatrix.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

A prequel trilogy could be amazing.
Unfortunately Neo never lived up to his supposed ability to bend the Matrix to his will. There was so much unused potential in that. He should have been less hands-on fighting and more god-like.

 

[disappeared]

Second Renaissance. Do it.

 

[Dan]

Has Latino Review been right about anything in recent months?

Feels like they're one step away from being the Daily Mail.

 

[ReBurn]

Can I go ahead and buy my tickets now?

 

[Darksol]

First iteration of The Matrix, instead of the 6th like the films.

 

[valkillmore]

Oh yeah I'm ready! The Matrix hit me like a tonne of fucking bricks when I saw it on opening night. I knew nothing about the movie before I saw it and it shocked me. I wanna be shocked again!

 

[GK86]

Assuming this is true, I would be down for some more bullet time. Would be awesome if one of the movies took place before the war broke out. Following that one Animatrix short.

 

[DonDraper]

Was the Matrix always planned out as a trilogy from the start? I've been of the belief that the original Matrix was just supposed to be a one off kind of thing and when it hit big the idea of a trilogy was then put out there. Which means, they had no clue what to do after the first one and made up a bunch of shit that turned out to suck in the following two.

If planned out as a trilogy from the start, it could be decent, I suppose.

 

[jett]

Latino Review makes shit up. Garbage website.

 

[FloppyDelux]

If they are filmed in 3-D( which they probably willl ) it could be awesome.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Hmm. It could be interesting. It could also go very very bad too though. Color me interested though.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Just pull your heads out of your asses with the philosophy bullshit please.

 

[Elginer]

Sure, why the hell not. Sign me up.

 

[Guesong]

Could be interesting if they make canon some of the stuff that happened in the Matrix MMO.

Though I don't remember too well how that ended.

 

[Guevara]

In retrospect the only good part of the entire franchise (including the games, anime, all the movies, etc.) was the first film.

 

[NotLiquid]

It doesn't really need a new trilogy. The series felt as conclusive as it could possibly get, and if it's a prequel I hate wasting time on those. But like Star Wars, I wouldn't mind to see them try follow things up, if only because the series kind of went out with a whimper and could deserve something fresh and new.

 

[Prompto]

Fuck it, might as well do it. If its good, it's good. It's not like it's gonna tarnish the brand any further after Reloaded and Revolutions.

 

[elektrixx]

Okay. I'm interested, but I don't think I want it to have anything to do with previous characters or that version of the matrix in story.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Nic Cage for The One.

 

[Alchemy]

Kinda sorta want? Not sure...

 

[voodoojohn]

My opinion of the last two movies improved dramatically after a recent re-watching. Would definitely be down for some more.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Oh Hollywood... All those crushing disappointing memories from May and June of 2003 just came crashing back.

 

[Messypandas]

I dunno. Keanu Reeves has aged a bit

 

[fader]

Eh... Why not? Can't get worse than Revolutions.

my thoughts exactly. and at least Matrix 1 still exists. So if those are bad I can always go back to Matrix 1

 

[Darksol]

He should have been less hands-on fighting and more god-like.

He brought the Logos (literally 'the word') to Machine city, was blinded, saw the machines spiritual light, surrendered to his enemies, died (literally making a cross in one of the shots) and redeemed mankind for a peaceful(ish) new beginning.

Sounds slightly godly to me.

 

[TakeItSlowDude]

Second Renaissance. Do it.

Yes, by far the best part of the Animatrix.

 

[jiggle]

whoa

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Prequel? Lambert Wilson and Monica Bellucci should be in then.

 

[Betta Lines]

I dunno. Keanu Reeves has aged a bit

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

As long as it's not a prequel and they hired someone to hang around and reign in the Siblings a bit and not let them run wild with dumb shit like in 2 and 3, I'm down.

It was always planned as a trilogy, but getting the greenlight for films 2 and 3 hinged upon the sucess of the first film.

 

[J_Macgrady]

I'd prefer an action game set in the Matrix universe than a new trilogy, but the brand isn't what it used to be so I know that's not happening. I doubt this rumor is true, but if it is I wouldn't mind it if it's a prequel to the original trilogy.

Please no stupid leather and sunglasses this time around. PLEASE.
