I think its too early to think about additional Matrix material. I say lets revisit it in a decade or so. The Matrix trilogy needs more time to seep into our cultural history and aquire a sense of nostalgia for it.
This is why the Terminator series works for me, discounting the third movie, One and two were made in 1984 and 1990 respectively, enough time to percolate in our collective memory and then take a fresh, 2008 take on the mythos, introducing it to a whole new generation.
In fact after I saw Revolutions in the theater way back in 2003, at the very end, I felt it waas set up for the W Bros to revisit this at a much later date, like 10 or 15 years, with little Sati all growed up.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. Now is not the time. In the meantime we have our own little clique here that few people know about (the silver lining of this game's small population).
This is exactly how i felt after the third movie. I've always figured that MxO would kind of serve as a set up for further exploration... but, who knows?
As fas as a TV show, I've thought there should be one for quite some time. I'm thinking like an HBO quality series to, not some dinky Sci-fi channel gunk (OMG how they murdered Dune >.<. And I'd have to vote for a more random episodes approach. I think a "making of Morpheus" chronicle would get old quick. I would want to see episodes devoted to lots of the various charcters of the Movies. One of the things I found lacking in the second and third films was that we had a huge number of new characters introduced, but not enough screen time for any of them to be sufficiently developed.
Lastly, If HBO wouldn't go for it, and they couldn't get decent production values, I'd be just as happy to see it turned into an animated series. and whether the public would buy it is all a matter of how GOOD it is. Lets face it, lots of people went to SEE the films, even if many of them ended up a little dissapointed by the later ones.
