^ Gaith...I think we agreed on something again!!!
^ Both!!
I thought the Wachowski ...siblings... made it very clear after when the third film came out that they weren't doing any more?
Eh, whatever. Half-baked philosophical musings between crazy-ass action sequences helps a lazy afternoon pass by.

^ Perhaps Keanu wasn't being politically correct lol or he's close enough to them that he still refers to them as brothers, hell I've still done that myself. I thought he was off his rocker about Bill and Ted 3 and that seems to be going through.
Didn't the third film seriously under-perform at the box office?
Checks Box Office Mojo.
I guess it made money like crazy over-seas. I'm not sure about financing two sequels, but one shouldn't be hard to get off the ground. What would it be about, though? How many times will Neo and Trinity be killed in these films?

Is putting on a green suit littered with golf balls and posing for a CGI model somehow dangerous for one's health?
Considering what utter abortion-esque failures the sequels were compared to what they had to live up to I doubt 4 and 5 are going to impress more upon anyone.
I think in any Matrix continuation some heavy amount of time should be shown about how humanity is rebuilding itself...above ground if possible. Reclaiming it's birthright from the machines.
Obviously some time would need to be spent in The Matrix but the overall defeat of the system and rise of humanity is the only thing I'd care to see.

^No, it's actually going to be a musical comedy called Once Upon a Matrix.
The thing about sequels is that anything the siblings come up with is going to invalidate to some degree the truce between the Machines and the humans and therefor tarnish Neo's sacrifice. Actually now that I've typed that maybe this is what a sequel would be about...something happens that causes the truce to be broken and the war continues. I'd like to see how they go about returning Neo though. That would be an interesting discussion to have with the two of them.
I take it The Matrix MMO will not be canon. 
^ I don't think so 
I'm sure the plot will be shit, but I might see it if it's in 3D. Yes, I realize many people think 3D is a gimmick and even a distraction from the plot, but I stand by my belief that, for these movies, a distraction from the plot would probably be a good thing.
^ Again this is not even from the siblings themselves but reported second hand on AICN. Rumors at best.
If they do this movie in 3D I'll give it an ounce or two of worthy thought. Unlike most movies that have came out since Avatar made 2 Trillion dollars at the Box Office being in 3D two Decembers ago I suspect these proposed Matrix sequels will be filmed with 3D in mind and it will be done with the best possible outcome attempted.
Most of the movies that have came out over the last year or so were converted to 3D in post-production. And while this "can work" for animated movies or CGI elements in movies (as it's not much more than telling the computer, "Oh by the way, there was a camera here, too" and the computer knowing what that camera would have seen) the live-action, "in camera" elements are going to suffer from the "Colorforms Effect" where the 3D stuff has to pretty much be faked as there's no way to know what the imaginary second camera would have seen. That's how most of the 3D live-action movies the last year have been done, they've been done in a computer, cheaply and quickly which cannot produce as quality of a 3D image is actually filming a movie in 3D with two cameras.
Now it is "possible" to fake the process with computers but it is time consuming and expensive but, IIRC, it's the route Cameron wants to go on the 3D versions he wants to do with Titanic and T2. But even last-minute converting a movie (like I believe they did in Toy Story 3) can produce a good "depth of view" picture it lacks that gimmicky "stuff sticking out at you" thing many in the drooling masses like. (Because if there's one way people like seeing the fourth wall broken it's when something flies out of the screen, the imaginary world, and at you through the theater.)
Anyway, I suspect that these Matrix sequels will be filmed with the 3D element in mind so it'll produce a good looking experience. I, for one, hope they go for the "extreme, vast, depth" that Cameron used in Avatar and not the gimmicky "sticking stuff through the camera" stuff so many movies latch onto. I want to be immersed into the movie world as if I'm looking through a window into it. Stuff flying at me through the movie screen doesn't accomplish that.
But, considering I've got as much faith in the Wachowskis to do anything right as I have in my in-grown toenail to not hurt when I stub it; I'm dubious that they'll pull any aspect of these movies off if they get made. They really fucked up both sequels with so much potential they had built up after the first movie.
