Whilst it can be argued that the trilogy got weaker as it went on. It wouldn't be that surprising that Warner Brothers are trying to reignite a franchise that has earned over $1.6billion at the box office. Even the least commercially successful of the franchise, the final instalment 'The Matrix Revolutions', made a tidy profit of just shy of $300million.
As a huge fan of the first film, I was very forgiving of the trilogy. What the second and third films lack in story, they more than make up for in spectacle.
Most interesting will be where they decide to go with any future films. Smart money would have to be on a prequel (or series of). Either looking at the origins of The Matrix itself, or the original escapees and their story.
I can't even begin to imagine what craziness The Wachowskis could muster up now, with SFX at their current standard.
I look forward to further developments on this one.
