The Matrix Remake

Well goddamn, I guess it was only a matter of time, but it still seems rather soon to me..

They are indeed in the early stages of remaking The Matrix...

Yahoo!

So does this mean they are going to reboot it and make the same sequels that the Wachowskis made or make it in such a way that it will go on for more than just three films...? oh, lord. I'm pretty sure I disapprove of this idea. I think it's kind of a pathetic and desperate attempt by WB to make money. But I fear it will backfire on them because it's probably not going to have the same innovative impact that it had back in 1999. The Matrix Trilogy is actually a quite impressive work of art and I don't think it can really be recaptured.

Can't say this excites me, for the same reasons you pointed out. Meh.

I read a few years ago that the Wachowskis were approached about writing and directing a 4th film, but I guess they declined. I would have been much more interested in that.

I would definitely rather have a sequel post trilogy not a damn reboot since the first trilogy was awesome.

There's no possible way to make a better movie than the first Matrix. That movie is as close to perfection as you'll ever get

Something tells me they only got the idea to do this after John Wick 2 having both Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. As well as the two of them along with Carrie-Anne Moss having a "Matrix Reunion" at the premiere.

Keanu Reeves said he'd be up for a 4th film, maybe he'll make a cameo

He said he'd be up for it if the Wachowskis were writing and directing. I doubt he'd be interested otherwise.

Did he? Oh, maybe not then

From the Yahoo article I originally posted...

While promoting John Wick Chapter Two, Reeves said he would be open to returning for another installment of the franchise if the Wachowskis were involved. “They would have to write it and direct it. And then we’d see what the story is, but yeah, I dunno, that’d be weird, but why not?” he said. However, it is likely that Warners will look elsewhere to attract an A-list director and star.

First film was rather great for the time, the two that followed weren't as good. I don't see the need for a remake, at least this soon, wait another 10+ years.

One of the main great points to the film was the initial not knowing about humanity being trapped in a simulation. That mystery is gone with the remake

The Colon Creeper speaks the truth.

The first Matrix was gold, if you ask me. The sequels were unnecessary and were sub-par.

If they can Reboot it in a way that it makes sense and doesn't suck I will have no prob with this.

But I somehow doubt they can pull this off.

Good point. Except clueless tweens who have never heard of the original movie might actually be surprised.

But yeah, the movie will only piss off old farts like us: "Oh, f#$k this, watch the original!" Kind of like remaking Point Break. I did not give a F#$K about that. I watched the original again instead.

The first film was good, didn't need sequels

Fu#k, why don't they just go down Keanu Reeves filmography and remake all of his films? I'm surprised they haven't done Speed yet...

Please don't let a remake of speed be made, he turned down Speed 2 so he dodged a bullet there

Doing speed is part of the problem, they do a bunch of it and it causes them to stay up all night coming up with crazy ideas like "lets remake the Matrix".

I would have been interested in a prequel. We know Neo isn't the first "one". I would have liked to see a movie about the very first "one". Or perhaps a sequel about the person who is the next "one" after Neo.

Yup. Or a live-action version of the "Second Renaissance: Parts 1 & 2" from the Animatrix.. how the clash between man and machine went down. That could be a fu#king awesome film or even series of films. The the "Planet of the Apes" reboot team on that!
