The Matrix universe should be expanded, not remade

• theverge.com by Kwame Opam

The Hollywood Reporter revealed this week that Warner Bros. is working on a follow-up to the Wachowskis' 1999 classic, The Matrix, with Creed's Michael B. Jordan in talks to play a major role. Despite the franchise's star falling thanks to a host of misfires and failures in the 2000s, the original film remains one of the finest movies to come out of the heady, tech-addled days of the late 20th century pop culture. With virtual reality and expanded universes enjoying a resurgence, now is as a good a time as any for the series to make its return.

It's not entirely clear yet if the studio wants a remake with Neo, Agent Smith, and the rest of the core characters, a new film set in the established world, or something between the two. There's certainly an argument for why a traditional remake might work. Even if its late-'90s goth aesthetic can't really be applied to the present day, The Matrix is plenty relevant in 2017.

Part of the reason the matrix is around today is all the media that hides the facts of what is really going on, and all the alternative media that doesn't offer any real solutions.
