Everything that was fresh and original about it when it was released was cloned and copied so many times that it'd be hard for it to get the same interest as it did back then, and without the Wachowskis there's no point in making it (and tbh I'd rather they keep working on Sense8 either way).

Only if Zach Snyder directs, Henry Cavill stars and it goes through 400 rewrites during filming.

I do think they're trying to go more of the original vision since Will Smith was originally suppose to play Neo.

Why not just make a movie about Grant Morrison's The Invisibles, which was The Matrix before there was The Matrix, instead?

The Matrix was so ahead of its time when it came out and presented something truly innovative.
Now, I'm not one of those people who get pissed off about this sort of thing, but I just think it's bound to underwhelm. Most movies that get reboots don't need them and this certainly falls in that category.
That said, I loved the first one and this piques my interest. I'll probably see it.
The one positive with a reboot is that they can not make any sequels to it and we can pretend there were no Reloaded or Revolutions.

Eh, I don't even mind. I probably won't like it, but outside of the first film, which had some issues of its own, I wasn't terribly into them, anyhow.

A new Matrix with today's CGI technology would be interesting, but I question the need to do a reboot when a sequel with a new character that acknowledges the previous entries while having a new story would work better.

I'm still awaiting someone to just adapt Shadowrun, which could very easily be better than the Matrix while keeping with the same themes.

That's the big twist ending, you think you're watching a reboot, but at the end you find out it's a sequel. |

I do think they're trying to go more of the original vision since Will Smith was originally suppose to play Neo. Could've sworn it was reported that in the early stages and afterwards Brandon Lee was originally going to play Neo before he died. Unless I am mistaken seeing as he died in 1993 and the first Matrix didn't come out until 2000 I think? |

The furthest I got into the series was playing Enter the Matrix, but I can't really see any reason to do it. Even by the time Matrix Revolutions interest in the series had fallen far with it drawing nowhere remotely close to what Reloaded did (and that was really the only one of them that especially set the world on fire at the box office), and it's not a movie that really has people clamoring for a new installment or anything. Plus you just know they'll saddle it with a completely ludicrous budget.

Unless I am mistaken seeing as he died in 1993 and the first Matrix didn't come out until 2000 I think? The Wachowskis have said that had he lived Brandon Lee would've been their first choice to play Neo, as they wrote the script around the time of the release of The Crow. Their first choice when the movie went into development in '96 was Johnny Depp, but the studio didn't want him as the star so offered the Neo role to Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ewan McGregor, with David Duchovny and Kevin Costner also considered but ultimately not offered due to scheduling conflicts. Keanu pretty much only got the part because nobody else wanted it and the studio really didn't want Depp to have it. |

That's the big twist ending, you think you're watching a reboot, but at the end you find out it's a sequel. Well, technically, reboots ARE a thing in The Matrix. Only this one will have a very different Neo from the other ones. |

That would be a huuuge barrier of entry. It's not just the three films, pretty much all of the Matrix stuff like games, animated film, etc, have some level of canon to them. That's a tough sell when quite a few of their customers weren't even born when the first one came out. Think of Wachowski films, like Jupiter Ascending, Clout Atlas, etc. Who saw any of those and thought, "You know what this lacks? Complexity." They routinely overreach. |
