Will Matrix 4 ever happen?

Huge matrix fan here. I mean the sheer brilliance of the matrix movie when I saw it as a kid. I went to the movies all the time as a kid because my parents never took me as often as I wanted them too so I went all by myself all the time. Little did I have a clue what the fuck this matrix shit was but when I saw it, FUCK MY ASS, best movie of all time. I mean I've seen a lot of movies all my life, but NEVER did I ever concieve for a minute that I'd see a truly great masterfully made film as the Matrix.

I mean looking back it's basically an off-shoot of dark city now that I think about it. That's the joke. Dark City came out, failed, they re-mixed it as the Matrix and added badass bullet time and then made history with the first matrix movie.

Anyway, as much as I like Dark City, Matrix kicks its ass. Sometimes a simpler movie is better.

Just saw the new fantastic Four trailer. Goddamn, looks like it could actually be good. Seems to me the gritty reality of the Chronicle movie is the basis for what they're going for with FF. And of course hopefully it's better than that shit stain of a film they originally made. I'm not interested anymore in comic book movies that don't take themselves seriously. We've gotten too many since I was a kid that took the original cartoony stories and amped them up with badass realism, to go back to the hokey days of Batman forever and batman and robin.

Certainly when one thinks about comic book movies, they're inherintly silly ideas. Born from the extreme over the top elements of the comics they came from. But that shouldn't mean that they're shackled by their origins and can't aspire to be taken seriously as legitimate sci-fi. That's what's great bout the first x-men movie. If you had no idea it was based on silly comics, you'd take it as a fantastic sci fi movie all by itself.

So back to the initial question, will Matrix 4 ever happen, ever? Rumors have been going around about them actually scripting it and Keanu signing on for it. Would love to see him back as Neo. The end of matrix 3 claims that neo will return. I'm guessing that that means that when the equation has to rebalance itself again, Neo will be reborn into the matrix and we'll have another cycle of the one returning. Don't ask me to explain all that shit the architect said to neo about how many times he's destoryed zion and how many Ones he's seen come and go. I don't understand that shit.

The only thing I do understand is that a fourth matirx or some kind of matrix spinoff would be great to see in the future.
