well keep it in that thread, if you really wanna keep things on-topic as you claim.
and anyway, i gave my two cents on what a prequel should be about.

I saw Revolutions yesterday, and it left me feeling there was a definite prequel in the Wachowski's minds. My biggest concerns were with the questions left open in Revolutions - who is Seraph, Merovingian, Persephone, etc and why is Seraph 'his little Judas' (yet more biblical references from someone who's name hints at Aarian beliefs of christian descendants). Also, I always felt it odd that Revolutions would end the wait so soon and that they were throwing no budget at marketing. It really felt like they were just getting the Neo story tidied up and out of the way so that a 'proper' matrix movie with strong themes, plot and a touch of philosophy can be made about the program characters in a prequel. I mean, the introduction of 'program characters' REALLY seems like the sort of thing the Wachowskis would explore in far more depth than they have already, and a prequel would give them the chance to do that because it gives the unique angle of knowing the outcome of 'choices' made without using up screen time.
If they do intend to make such a movie, it will be a blinder. There will be no onus to throw in tonnes of CGI action, because Revolutions DEFINITELY satisfied anyone's thirst for that. Also, if Reloaded and Revolutions make the profits they are expected to make, then the Wachoweskis won't be pressurised by Warner to make a popular blockbuster.
i think that if they were to make a prequal they should not base it on morpheus or any of the characters from the trilogy (except for some of the programs like the oracle and the merovingian) and they should tell the story of the first "one" and how he was the firt freed from the matrix and how he was the first person to be able to leave the matrix and go to the real world (go back and forth) this would be cool and then how at the end he chooses to relaod the matrix (which is the oposate of what neo does) this would allow us to see what the architect was talking about (even though we know it would allow for a more detailed look at the whole procees of "the function of the one" as the machienes ment it to be...... that would be cool
this would meant that keanu and carrie-ann and laurance and hugo might not be in it but hay it would still be cool.....

I agree with that! I would like to see how the first one realized that the matrix wasn't real, and what s/he did from there! I think it would be awesome, no oracle, no prophecies, just pure determined human spirit, baby!! YEAH! Then we see his/her struggles with freeing others, and what it did once it freed itself... Like how did it get out of the pod, get out of the drain system? Somehow it did, and there must have been others on the surface, that already built a Zion, the first one, made it's way to Zion, and told them what was up! And the creation of hovercrafts, the first ones ability to go in and out of the matrix at will! I think it would make for a great story!!!

i think a couple of the animatrix shorts are prequels(2nd renessance, that thing in black and white) and then some are between M1 and M2 (Osiros, Kid Story)
The one thing I would love to see in a prequel is the first version of the Matrix and its utter failure. I'm not saying that it should be a film, a shor animation would be fine.
The utter failure of the first Matrix was stated quite clearly by Smitty when he interrogated Morphy in M1, that human lived in a perfect world, but we refused to live in such world due to our imperfection, we simply can not to live in a perfectly harmonized world (heaven?!).
That why the complete crop died out according to Smitty. Quite ironic if u asked me.
