More Matrix movies HOAX!

[This is a hoax. Sorry to get your hopes up/down. thx, @kimberlyp] According to a report at Ain't It Cool News, Keanu Reeves said that he met with the Wachowskis and that they are working on a "script treatment" for a fourth and fifth Matrix movies that would feature Reeves as Neo.

Says he met the Wachowski's (no emphasis on the word brothers), for lunch over Christmas and stated that they had completed work on a two picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of the matrix as Neo. Says the brothers have met with Jim Cameron to discuss the pro's and con's of 3D and are looking to deliver something which has never been seen again. keanu stated that he still has an obligation to the fans to deliver a movie worthy of the title "The Matrix" and he swears this time that the treatment will truly revolutionise the action genre like the first movie. Wachowski's are working on a movie called "Cloud Atlas" at the moment, once that concludes they will talk again.

And also, there's talk of a Bill & Ted 3. Take a few minutes to let all that sink in before continuing with your day.

Speedracer Pancakes

These newly released stills from the upcoming 'Speed Racer' movie do a lot to lend credence to star Susan Sarandon's claim back in August that the Wachowskis' entirely unique vision for the film required the development of new, unprecedented technology and visual effects trickery. Her summary of the film's thematic elements: "It's all about cheating and betting and how things are fixed and everything else, but it's also about family values and pancakes are love."

At the time it was just a whimsical sound bite, but these new images make me head-splittingly happy, enough to buy all the way in to the pancake love. (thx joseph)

Update: Greg over at greg.org poses the question: Why does the media refuse to grant Lana (né Larry) Wachowski her right to the feminine pronoun?
