Matrix franchise revival

[Vesuveus]

I think it is inevitable, too. I think it will come back in film, but a few things will have to be done first. The Wachowskis will probably have to generate that Wachowski-mania that there was after the first Matrix movie with another well-done film. I didn't enjoy Speed Racer, but I wasn't a fan so it's hard to judge. It looked to me like a flop. I loved V for Vendetta but I haven't seen Ninja Assassin yet. Hopefully it was good.

Also, they will have to write a very good Matrix movie. Something confusing like Reloaded and Revolutions (The Architect scene and the Oracle talks) will not draw people back to the theaters and I don't think it will draw the actors they'll need to generate the Matrix buzz again. Keep in mind, Laurence Fishburne is highly regarded as an actor and he said he signed on to do the sequels before reading the scripts. The critics said something to the effect of "It's painful to watch such an actor have to say this crap" in regards to Morpheus' speech to Zion. And it's true. I'm glad he returned as Morpheus and I'm glad he didn't read the script before agreeing.

So coming off a successful film will favor the Brothers for another Matrix film and a solid script that will draw good actors and mainstream audience to the theaters is what I think they will need to do another. Then will come the comics and animated movies.
