"So I wanted to take time out to push pause on a party record and make one of these records for the time being."

Now, however there is talk that The Matrix may be rebooted.
Deadline reports that Warner Bros is looking into possibilities to make it work. A group of writers are rumored to have been assembled to figure out a way to breathe new life into the franchise.
At this point it's not known if any of main actors, Keanu Reeves (Neo), Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) or Carrie Ann Moss (Trinity), will be involved or if there will be an all new cast.
Don't think for one second that a character's death in one of the previous films would prevent them from resurfacing in the next. Hollywood has a funny way of making that happen if need be.
