Birth of the Matrix definitely sounds like it'd be cool.

Another movie would be fine, but another trilogy? I dunno.
Will still watch them all if it happens though...

But incredibly depressing. Unless they end it on a hopeful note with the introduction of the anomaly and the implication that it will lead to human liberation.

An adaptation of Second Renaissance wouldn't have anything to do with the actual Matrix. But I guess it could just be one out of three movies.
Just pull your heads out of your asses with the philosophy bullshit please.
Do you watch porn and then write the creators: "tone down the sexuality, please"?
Anyway, I am going to open some quality wine if this news gets confirmed.

Is there a source for this? And are we sure it's not just them saying "Oh yeah it was always planned as a trilogy" after the fact? Because I remember there being a lot of stuff talked about in the first movie that's completely dropped or changed in the second and third that made it feel like they didn't plan it from the beginning at all.
I believe it was going to be a prequel and a sequel. The prequel became second renaissance. The sequel became 2 movies.

The universe is very rich, and it's not like the trilogy ended in the highest note it could. Why the hell not, go for it.
Movie 1: matrix and machines are created with hints of being self aware
Movie 2: matrix and machine uprising
Movie 3: human/matrix war, humans harvested, nuke the earth and the remaining go underground to rave
IMO we only needed the first matrix movie. Once neo became the one it was like turning on god mode in a game and the rest became uninteresting.

But it's Latino Review.
Second renaissance as 1 movie sounds good. 3 would just be full of filler. Why does everything need to be a trilogy? That's what killed the sequels.

Let's stop making movies ppl, you can find one for each message. Fuck entertainment.
That wouldn't agree with the current story.
Just pull your heads out of your asses with the philosophy bullshit please.
Not sure how I missed this.
Is this a troll post?
Quentin Tarantino for third obviously.
Obviously you need to be an executive producer, because this idea is great.
Edit: NO.
Indeed. The movie would be full of pretentious nonsense, plot holes, and dei ex machina.
Please be trolling. PLEASE

3 movies to cover what The Last Renaissance did in two short films? Seems minimalism in Hollywood is dead.
I loved Cloud Atlas. Speed Racer...not so much.
Also, to whoever said Cloud Atlas tanked, it cost around 100 million to make and went on to make around 130 million. So it's not huge profits, but by no means were they tanking or just breaking even.
Usually the studio will spend around what 50% of the budget was on the movie to market it. Thus if the movie cost 100mil, they might have spent $50mil to market it. Additionally, each theater gets a small cut of the movie profits. Furthermore, if whatever studio didn't have the distribution rights outside the U.S., they might have also lost money there.
But I know what youre saying.
Speed Racer sucked.
V for Vendetta was good but the W's didn't direct it. At least not officially.
Didn't the studio heavily interfere with the making of the second and third movies?
I remember hearing somewhere that they turned out a lot different than what the Ws had imagined them, or something to that effect.
Hopefully that sort of thing doesn't happen with this if they go forward.

No. The first movie is the "wooaah" movie of our generation. However, it is bland, thematically, outside of that. When the wow-factor is gone, left is an introduction. The second and third movies have action that far outranks the first movie's, and they move to philosophical concepts a lot deeper than the first movie. Just take the talk about control, down in the maintenance area. Or the meeting with the Merovingian. Or how werewolves were introduced.
Sadly, Ghost had a lot of meaty philosophy stuff going on, but it's lost in a game so riddled with bugs it's hard to cope with. Toughing on the knowable, and past and the future, it's a marvel to watch. At any rate, the introduction of Neo as The One is about as meaningful to the trilogy as the introduction of Darth Vader in Episode III. The Architect, Bane, the eyes of the Oracle, Neo being in the train station. All of those are things that can still tickle my brain when I watch them, while being shown some fantastic action. That's why I take on watching the first movie as a necessary part of watching the trilogy. I'd rather just start on the second movie, really.

I love when people discount part of a singular story just because they don't like it. You'd never hear someone say The Fellowship of the Ring is the only "real" Lord of the Rings book just because they didn't like the other two books Tokien wrote.
For me, the only interesting thing is the Wachowskis involvement. Much like Star Wars VII loses a bit of appeal due to the exclusion of Lucas.

Bring back Switch. She deserves a better death.
"Not like that. Like this."

Yup, stylish flick. It was the only time the Wachowski's did a DVD commentary. I see why they have not done one since. They are quite boring to listen to.

In order to be good they would have to find a way to resurrect Neo and probably Trinity too and actually complete the story this time by taking the fight directly to the Machines.
Honestly though this sounds like Ghostbusters 3 style wishful thinking.

Isn't Matrix Online canon? I wonder if they'll retcon it.
