Like many have said, it's not even that old. The movies feel modern still IMO

Not necessarily.  The 3rd movie way underperformed at the box office.  It did ~$320M less than the 2nd one.  And it even did ~$40M less than the original, which came out 4 1/2 years earlier, which made even more when you count inflation.  Yes, it made its budget back, but it left such a bad taste in moviegoers' mouths that a poorly written cash-in reboot would probably do even worse.  And given that they would probably give this a $150M-$200M budget, with an insane amount of marketing, I doubt they would break even.

@ OP

Personally, I would rather have a sequel if they are going to do this, with most of the original cast returning.  Have the Architect betray them, refusing to release the humans in the Matrix.  Reason being is that his sole purpose is to run the Matrix, and without it, he has no reason to exist.  Then, the last remaining humans search for Neo's body, to try and revive him.  Some of the more sympathetic and intelligent machines/programs can rebel against the Architect, joining forces with the humans, causing problems within and outside the Matrix.  As a last resort, the Architect uses a mind wiped Neo as his main Agent to keep order in the Matrix.  Agent Smith could either be dead or alive, I could go either way.  And if he is alive, it would be interesting to see him join forces with the humans, reluctantly.  Or maybe he could be top dog with Neo.  Again, I could go either way.

Or a well written spin-off would be ok.  Maybe include some of the better ideas/shorts from the Animatrix.

This could really really suck. But I'm intrigued.

Gross. I vowed to kill myself once this happens. So now I have to back out of a suicide pact, AND see this atrocity unfold.

Actually something like Animatrix would be cool, just take one of those stories and expand while making them live action

You don't really have to do either of those things.

Ditto.

Stuff like this is why I don't go to the cinema anymore.

i dont think u understand what a remake or reboot is.. by my calculation in 15 years they have rebooted the franchise twice. andrew and tom... where did u get 7 number. Or did u not understand Ka-pi96's concern.

I'd prefer they actually spend time and effort thinking of new films, the cliche that Hollywood is running out of ideas holds fast with news like this.
