Ohhh my. The hot news - a cynic might say rumour at this stage - is Keanu Reeves and the Wachowskis being in talks about a two movie picture deal for sequels to the Matrix trilogy. See The Register, The Guardian, EmpireOnline and the news-breakers Ain’t It Cool.
Cue, of course, all manner of beard stroking and mumbling about Hollywood lack of imagination, about ruining beautiful things with unnecessary extensions but… wait a second, back up there. This is different, isn’t it? Normally when unnecessary sequels get added years after the originals, we’re concerned about protecting the originals. Indiana Jones is a perfect example: three glorious films and a sequel full of aliens some years later.
