I love Keanu and all his iterations ( sad, happy, contemplative) and would gladly go see a second Bill and Ted sequel for old time's sake. But really, Keanu, are you going to cram a blue pill down our gullets just to get us to foolishly believe that more Matrix sequels would be anything more profound than a shameless attempt by Warner Bros. to rake in more franchise money? Unfortunately, Ain't It Cool News reported the news courtesy of a reader who saw Keanu Reeves being honored at the London School of Performing Arts and heard his announcement firsthand.

The Wachowski Brothers (or is it Siblings now? Didn't one of them get a sex change?) have allegedly completed a two-picture script and have even met with James Cameron to "discuss the pros and cons of 3D." You're all thinking it:

The siblings, who haven't had a hit since their Matrix series (sorry, Speed Racer), want to "deliver something which has never been seen again." Hmm, how about a movie as good as the first one? Remember when they tried to do that with Reloaded and Revolutions and failed miserably? (Two words: rave scene.) Unless these two new sequels are a mulligan for the original 2 and 3, I don't see the point other than to hop on the Endless Sequel Bandwagon and continue to cash in, regardless of actual quality. (Glares at Indiana Jones.)

Maybe this one'll explain how Indy could have survived an atomic blast

Are you excited by the possibility of more Matrix sequels, even if they're in fad-tastic and stupidly expensive 3D? Or do you think it's time for the Wachowskis to move on lest they turn into George Lucas 2.0?
