Someone else who apparently saw it posted this

on one hand i'd rather have something ambitious instead of a soft reboot like what they did with star wars. on the other hand i've heard mixed things about cloud atlas (never watched it personally). i'm still looking forward to matrix 4 but i would lie if i said i wasn't worried. also matrix was never funny, i hope they didn't marvelize it. last thing i want is quips every couple minutes.

Yeh, hearing that it goes for something, regardless of to what extent it does that successfully, is more interesting to me than "they made another of Matrix film. It's trying to be like the first but it's not as good."

 

[BadBurger]

Oh please be good. That first film was so damned good. Please at least reach like 75% of that level.

Matrix: Revengeance

I really can't see this could be anything but a disaster. How many people out there really remember all the plot points and characters, especially those added in the third movie. I suffered through it once and never went back to the series after. So how deep can this be if they are going to have to assume many people are coming in cold or having never seen the prior movies at all.

The original concept was great but there's just not enough meat on that bone.. Besides I'm pretty sure the creators are vegetarians now.

So another friend of mine told me what the basic plot idea is, and it's so batshit bonkers insane WB had to have been on a metric fuck ton of super potent shrooms when it was being pitched to them to greenlight it.

Basically, it's Adaptation meets The Matrix.

Wachowski's answer to Baudrillard after 20 years of seething over his refusal to work on the sequels:

He had some funny comments about Reloaded too.

Adaptation? Interesting. My interest just went from a 4/10 to a 7 or so.

so basically is it going to be something like keanu reeves plays himself in the new movie and "the matrix" is a movie franchise in the new movie which mostly takes place in the real "real world"? usually i'm not into meta stuff like that, reminds me of that bad blair witch 2 sequel.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

That sounds awesome to me. Maybe the execution will suck, but seeing as the story set up in the first movie more or less went off the rails already, I’m totally down for something meta like that.

is that really what’s happening?

He's still Thomas Anderson, but works as a software engineer for Warner Brothers who created the hit Matrix Trilogy of videogames for them. Now WB wants a fourth game.

Dear God if that is true I’m out. What the actual fuck is wrong with people.

Wachowski's attempting one of my favorite Hercules episodes.

That sounds potentially awesome. Definitely batshit territory, but potentially awesome. Actually looking forward to this movie now.
