New Matrix Games Possible

Joel Silver, producer of the Matrix movies, told reporters that there won't be a fourth film after the upcoming Matrix Revolutions, but that there may be more games set in the Matrix universe. At a news conference Oct. 27 in Los Angeles' new Disney Concert Hall, Silver responded to a question from SCI FI Wire about a possible new Matrix movie: "It will never happen."

But asked about other future Matrix projects, Silver revealed, "We're dealing with all that now. There is a project being worked on with a company called Ubi Soft, which is outside of Seattle, which is a multiplayer online game that in fact may become available as early as this summer, which will continue on the story of the world of The Matrix." Silver added that Jada Pinkett Smith's character, Niobe, may figure in the game, as might Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus. "But we're just working on that now," he said.

Silver added that there is talk about doing another video game, beyond the current hit Enter the Matrix. "There's a moment in [The Matrix Revolutions], when Seraph [Collin Chou] comes in with Neo [Keanu Reeves] and Trinity [Carrie-Anne Moss] and Morpheus, and the Merovingian [Lambert Wilson] says to him, 'Oh, the prodigal son returns.' And the boys [writers/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski] wanted to kind of explore that backstory. So that may be something that they deal with in a video game. But there will be other areas of Matrix material, but there will not be any more movies." The Matrix Revolutions, which wraps up the trilogy, opens worldwide on Nov. 5.

Wow, what an extremely well-written article! :rolleyes:

Believe me, Hollyweird will find some way to make another Matrix movie.
It's just too popular with the fans and it makes too much money to totally abandon it.

If anything, they could expand on some of the stories in The Animatrix.

I just saw the Animatrix a few days ago and am playing enter the matrix right now. You learn a lot of backstory about the matrix and some of the characters through both, and I believe there is a lot more that can be explored after the third enstallment comes out.

A MMORPG based in the matrix might be interesting.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but there's already one in development. I don't know much info about it; I just know that it IS being made. The article just mentions that it's multiplayer, but I've read at more than one info source that it's actually an RPG.

I'm sure they'll milk it some more. It won't be a Matrix 4, as this specific storyline is over. There are other things they can do.

Yeah, vene if the wachowski's aren't involved, someone will make another Matrix movie. A prequel perhaps.

Won't necessarily be a good thing though.

More Animatrix shorts please.

Ditto. Maybe even some live action ones next time round.

That would be pretty cool.

I like how they played Animatrix into the Second Matrix film with that kid... Who's name I forget, follows Neo around and Bugs him.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Maybe I'll just be quiet.

I know what you're talking about!

I kinda thought that was who it was supposed to be when I saw it!
I watched Reloaded first, then Animatrix, so it didn't mean anything to me and I was wondering who the fark he was.
Now I know. (and knowing is half the battle. Yo, Joe!!) :p

uhhh....

...am I missing something here? Animatrix. Anime+Matrix? (or Animated+Matrix) How do you get live action animation?

Bad actors.

Well I'm not quite sure where they could go after matrix revolutions - i guess we'll know after we've seen it. But they could have movies on the lead up to the original matrix movie. Turn some of those animatrix shorts into actual movies I guess.

The kid's name is Kid.

i agree

I saw the first Matrix and enjoyed it, but not so much that I'm going to follow three different media (movies, anime, games) in order to understand the storyline. That is just too much effort for me these days.

Just like Jurassic Park, right?

I don't think they'll do another Matrix per se. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out some kind of spinoff in a parallel universe, or a story in the same continuity but a different era, or something.

I really don't think they should make another movie, because I don't think anyone would see it because of all the recent bad hype on revolutions, and it might be looked at like another Batman movie, and god I don't want that to happen.

Of course, the game wasn't so popular either....

note: I loved the series.

There is TONS of potential for more animatrix shorts.

The great thing about revolutions is that it didn't wrap everything up into a nice tidy package. There's plenty of loose ends which could be explored more fully.
They don't have to occur after Revolutions. There is lots to explore in the time before then.

One area which has great potential is the Merovengian and his whole "Matrix underground" and also his relationship with seraph. I love the Merovengian. One of the best characters in the matrix universe.

Another Matrix game would be nice. They didn't quite pull it off in Enter The Matrix, but there is great potential for a good matrix game. (it will have its work cut out for it, considering the massive prejudice it would come against after the first game).

(and yes I am aware of the irony of the fact that I just stated that "the great thing about revolutions" is the exact same reason that so many people hated it)

Well when I saw Revolutions, all the things I didn't understand I recognized/ assumed to be part of a story / plot that doesn't involve the 3 movies. And although I would love to see more animatrix, I would hate for Collin Chou to be animated.

Actually I would love to see a spin-off or prequel about Seraph, they give hints that he is this total bad ass but never really own up to it. So sad... single tear

Yeah, big time. Seraph says that he's beaten Smith before...that means he's capable of KILLING agents. What a complete badass!

I would LOVE a good Matrix videogame. It would be good for the franchise after Enter the Matrix. Ha ha, they should just get EA to do it since they know how to do everything else. :)

Remember, the movies we saw were the 6th version of the matrix. I wouldn't be surprised if we see movies / cartoons / videogames / books / comics / happy meal toys based on one of the first 5 versions. To quote Smith "It is inevitable". Plenty of milk left in this cash cow.

That article says "Seraph [Collin Chou]"

am i mistaken or isnt his name Sing Ngai?

im confused, ive seen him under both names.....

Both names are correct. He is credited as Collin Chou in the Matrix. Asian actors, going to America, often change their names to something more pronouncible by western people.

Thank god for that.

Anyone who saw the sequels might be happy that they wont make anymore. Besides, I remember a cast member interview and they all said there was no way in hell they would do another Matrix film.
