According to Ain't It Cool News, it's a real possibility. Personally, I am okay with this, but I see franchises as a living canvas new creators can leave their mark on. Some kid out there grew up with the Matrix films. They influenced his tastes, sensibilities, changing his life in ways only he can see. I want this kid, now grown up, to have a go at a Matrix film. What did they mean to him and can he translate it to a new audience, maybe influencing a new child?
It's part of what makes Doctor Who so special. It's organic. It changes with the generations. It's like the oral tradition, changing with each storyteller, and it will only continue to grow, to shift, to transform.
I think, in the end, my favorite part of the Matrix franchise was the Animatrix shorts, specifically the ones dealing with the rise of the machines. They were philosophical and interesting, harking back to the greatness of the first in the series. Apparently the new films would have nothing to do with these, which is okay.
