See, I'd actually be more interested in a continuation taking place a couple of decades after Revolutions. The problem with you can all too easily run into prequels is you end up filling in gaps, but you still know where it basically has to end up and it all has a sense of inevitability about it.
Morpheus and Niobe could have a child that's the new main protagonist. Or you could focus on Sati and turn the franchise on its head by making a human-like program the focus of the story. Although I think new characters with no connection to the original cast inhabiting that world may be the best approach.
Ultimately though, without the contributions of the W's, any of the original cast, or Don Davis' music, I don't know how interested I am. I love the idea of The Matrix coming back in a meaningful way, but it has to be right.
Philosophy/story aside- those movies were FUN to watch. A unique blend of cyberpunk sci-fi, big R-rated action, 'edgy' music and kung-fu. Again, even if you take the philosophy stuff aside, they were a blast. A pop culture/counter-culture stew that was also very much a product of its time. I'd love to see it done well, but I feel like it would be tough to pull off today with no compromises, at least as a movie series. Netflix is another story.
