>It’s not entirely clear yet if the studio wants a remake with Neo, Agent Smith, and the rest of the core characters, a new film set in the established world, or something between the two.
Uh, what is this author railing against? A possibility that exists only in his head? Is there any evidence this is even in the cards?
I can't imagine the Wachowski's doing a cheap Spiderman-like cash out of just re-doing origin stories over and over again. People may not have liked Reloaded and Revolutions, but they were expansive and very, very different than the original, less ambitious, movie. Personally, I'd just like to see this wanna-be franchise die. So much was covered in the originals and the various conflicts in the movies end up nicely resolved. I suspect regardless of the direction chosen, there's a real path to a Lucas-like Phanton Menace disaster here.
I also prefer the Wachoswski's to stay weird and not to retread old glories. I can't imagine anyone else with the will, connections, money, talent, and politics to make a great Cloud Atlas movie, but they somehow pulled it off.
That said, I'd love to see the Matrix IP put towards video games. There's still a lot of fun to have in that world. Why isn't anyone making a well funded Matrix Vive game? More Matrix movies is a bit like making more Viewmaster film circles. The tech, culture, and innovation have moved on past movies when it comes to cyberpunky storytelling. I want a 3D vista that surrounds me, not crunching popcorn in a uncomfortable seat and staring at a wall while the people around me send text messages and make noise.
