It looks as if Keanu Reeves’ bombshell that the Wachowski Brothers are working on two sequels to their Matrix trilogy was a big fat hoax.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that the actor, who starred as Neo in the first three Matrix movies, lifted the lid on the upcoming sequels during a recent Q&A session at the London International School of Performing Arts.

Reeves was supposed to have revealed that he met with the Wachowskis over Christmas, when they apparently showed him “a two-picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of The Matrix as Neo."

Oh, and they’d already chatted to James Cameron about releasing the new instalments in 3D.

However, a rep for Reeves – who has indeed been in London for the past few weeks – told Playlist that “none of it is true...he did not speak nor get an award from the from the London International School of Performing Arts.”
 
We’re not sure whether to be disappointed or relieved.
