Matrix was amazing but the last 10 seconds ruined it for me and then the next two movies cemented it.
Something about him just randomly flying undid all of his accomplishments and feats, invalidated the character arc and growth and made the entire matrix fake rather than him "bending the rules" in a simulation. It was like watching a guy struggle valiantly, desperately fighting to get up the stairs at a building without a ramp in his wheelchair alone, refusing help from anyone who asks, trying to prove he's still a man and he won't be told where and how he can come and go. And then he finally makes it up and then stands up and gets out of the chair and it was just the newest crossfit exercise routine.

Unfortunately never been done, and Hollywood hates experimenting. (An actor has never returned on a reboot that tossed the previous works out storyline wise that I can think of. Nevermind TWO movies.)
I don't think anyone has a major problem with 2 necessarily though (its all dog-piling and belly-aching). And they could push more than 1 prequel if they wanted, then if the movies were really kicking ass and the climate was right, Keanu could definitely then do a retake on the final movie in the reboot. That I could see.
It really hinges on how successful they are with this reboot. The width of the options depends on if they can establish a hit in the Matrix universe again.

lol. God damn. At least Robocop was an 80's movie. They're remaking late 90's movies now.
SAD.
I doubt it will even make much money. It was a huge movie that influenced other movies for a full cycle but the problem with remaking it is that all the influenced by movies have already been made.

They brought Nimoy back for Abrams' soft reboot of Star Trek and The Matrix wouldn't even have to resort to that same old time travel trope since it has successive iterations of the setting baked into the lore and The One was a recurring figure within that. They can just establish that the peace between the machines and man broke down and the machines reasserted absolute control.
That's not to say they should do it (they shouldn't) but the path for doing so was established in the first trilogy.

Zero point in rebooting this. A sequel or prequel can easily be made in the same universe. They have so many ways to expand this I.P if they wanted to without fucking rebooting it. The entire premise of the fucking I.P is that the Matrix basically is a cycle of rebooting and your going to reboot one of the cycles? God damn idiots.

Only times I've seen any attempt really is Days of Future Past erasing X-3 and I thought the new Aliens was going to act like the sequels never happened but I think Blomkamp got canned

Fuck this noise. Certain movies just need to be left alone. If it's with the Wachowski's and Keanu, I'm down. If not, gtfo.

they should release three versions of the same movie, with 3 different casts, writers, directors, everything and let the audience decide which is the winner, box office gladiator style. Do it for every big comic book movie; one could be regular serious MCU, one could be zany comedy OG Batman mixed with some deadpool, and the final would be like some french auter or japanese anime style.
anyways i'd watch a matrix reboot, the first movie came out in 1999 so its that old but the idea is great and the second and third movie tanked the series, if you could get a good writer to layout the ideas and direction for 2 or 3 movies it'll work together much better. just don't let the wachowskis anywhere near it.

i think we all know this is going to be the new Neo.
btw Reloaded was actually a very good movie, it just went way the fuck over the top and broke their own rules (WTF how does Neo have his powers outside of the Matrix?????!!!!!!wtfbbqlgbt). if they had just edited some of that shit out and toned it down then it would have been a classic. matrix 3 is just irredeemable however.

if thats the case then it was never explained in the movie and i never saw it explained by the fag brothers. they just left that shit out there as a Deus Ex Machinima to get them out of the situation and give them a cliffhanger.

Hugh Jackman & Patrick Stewart, X-Men Reboot, at least two movies tossed out of the storyline.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terminator Reboot, four movies tossed out of the storyline.
The awesome plot twist we all anticipated and never got.

I know you're being snippy, but that's not a bad idea.
I mean money wise it's a HORRIBLE idea. But entertainment wise it's a pretty good idea.
For a movie / lore like the Matrix, it would make a lot of sense.
