Possible other plots they could cover instead, based on the original movie trilogy:

Prequels
1. The not so distant future where true AI begins and evolves.
2. The battle for freedom/supremacy, humans vs machines.
3. The creation of The Matrix, alpha, beta, v1.0 and v2.0
4. The Matrix 3.0
5. 3.0 Reloaded
6. 3.0 Revolutions
7. The Matrix 4.0
8. 4.0 Reloaded
9. 4.0 Revolutions
10. The Matrix 5.0
11. 5.0 Reloaded
12. 5.0 Revolutions
13. The Matrix 6.0 Morpheus' complete backstory
14. The Matrix 6.0 Trinity's complete backstory
15. The Matrix 6.0 Neo's complete backstory

Sequels (one of many possibilities)
16. The Matrix 7.0
17. 7.0 BSOD
18. 7.0 Revelation

Offshoots (possibilities)
19. Neo wasn't really the One?
20. The machine world isn't truly the real world?
21. The machines are actually saving humanity not suppressing them?

The amount of possible offshoots and potential sequels is mind boggling. Why reboot?

The other ways require effort, in the script department. Reboots/Remakes have a button called Plagerize, built in.

True, but do you risk ruining the core of the franchise to save some time and a few bucks, or do you branch out and limit the potential backlash?

If they decide to reboot and screw it up, they are going to find out the fans and the machines have something in common...
