Do You Want to See Two More Matrix Sequels?

UPDATE: A rep for Reeves says that "none of it is true."

UPDATE: A rep for Reeves says that "none of it is true."

It's been eight years since the last Matrix film was in theaters, and the special effects the sci-fi movies inspired have grown leaps and bounds since then. However, the franchise might be on the verge of a revival, and in 3D, no less (would you expect any different these days?). According to star Keanu Reeves, the Wachowskis have finished a two-script treatment for a pair of sequels to The Matrix and the filmmakers had met with James Cameron to discuss the use of 3D.

I'm torn; the way the trilogy ended was pretty disappointing, but the first Matrix was such an innovative and compelling film. I think the Wachowskis have the potential to show us something really amazing with the technology that's available today — but I also want to see a more satisfying story than what the final film provided. What do you think? Do you want to see The Matrix boot back up, or should it stay unplugged?

Movies About Hacking

Like a lot of other people, I spent my weekend watching The Social Network. One of my favorite scenes is when Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) — drunk and rejected — ends his night blogging on LiveJournal and hacking into Harvard's system. I always love a good computer hacking scene: they're full of energy, adrenaline, and it's funny to see just how wrong the movies depict hacks. When it comes to cyberspace and hacking there's a lot to choose from in Hollywood. Here are five films that made the cut.

Family Guy Reloaded

If The Matrix was a bit too metaphysical for you, here's a version that might go down better: Family Guy Reloaded.

If The Matrix was a bit too metaphysical for you, here's a version that might go down better: Family Guy Reloaded. If Peter Griffin wants to look as cool as Keanu did in the original, however, he might wanna hit the treadmill and get a new wardrobe.
