The Matrix to have two sequels

Posted by Hemos on Mon Jul 12, 1999 07:24 AM
from the whoo-dude dept.

Soren writes "Apparently the deal has been made- there will be 2 'The Matrix' sequels. More details are availible. " And hopefully, the Wachowski brothers will be directing still. They are playing with the idea of two prequels, or two sequels, but releasing them within months of each other, a break from tradition, like some *harumph* other movies around.

I submitted this bit a while ago when it was announced, but... Apparently, because of the
recent youth violence problems, WB will *not* be
releasing the Matrix for VHS sales; You'll be
able to rent it on VHS (or buy a rental copy
at only $100 a pop), and you'll be able to buy
it on DVD. However, the WB's thinking is that
teens will have less access to a DVD player than
a VHS player, and thus, this strategy will
reduce the number of times teenagers can watch
the movie. This move is expected to cost
WB $50 million in spectulated VHS sales.

then why do the bots even bother using humans? Don't you think it's a lot of trouble to build this hugely complex virtual world for human beings if ANY warm source would do? Why not cows? A big virtual field with lots of vitual grass seems to be a whole lot less trouble. I mean, humans have a history of being shitty slaves, we're always rebelling and whining and stuff. Now cows, cows would be perfect, they digest, create LOTS of heat, and never bother at all with philosophy or uprisings and such.

But seriously, I must agree that that premise was a little weak, though the movie rocked. If anyone has ever read the hyperion series by Dan Simmons, they'll remember the "evil" AI's in that story. The AI's feed off of humanity by using our unused brainpower for their processing needs without our knowledge. That would be more plausible. By the way, that series was one of the BEST pieces of literature (not just sci-fi) that I have ever read. I'd recommend it to anyone.
