There Is No Spoon, Nor Are There More Matrix Movies
 |
?Yesterday I, like a bajillion other sites on the infowebment supernetway, posted the news that Keanu Reeves had mentioned the Wachowski siblings had a plan for The Matrix 4 and 5, to be done in 3-D. Only problem — he didn’t actually do anything of the sort. Ain’t It Cool News reported it that Reeves had made the announcement at a talk at some London school, except that 1) Reeves never said anything of the sort and 2) Reeves has never been to that school for a talk or any other reason. So, thankfully, the world will be spared more Matrix movies (…for now. Thanks to Abraxas for the correction. (Via The AV Club)
