Many years ago a young screenwriter approached the networks with a great idea that was met with success. His idea was to create a show that had the elements of a continuing story, yet each weeks story stood on its own merits. Each weeks story would be written, produced and directed by entirely different people, giving a very broad spectrum of presentation from week to week, keeping the show fresh and never growing stale.
That show quickly became a show with staff writers, the same producer and only a couple of directors, none of which was the original intent of the show.
The show was cancelled after three very unwatched seasons.
However, Star Trek became a very successful franchise many years later, only to be killed again by the same sterile problems that plauged the first productions back in the late 60's.
The problem with movies is studio producers. They sterilize EVERYTHING. Playing it safe is the name of the game. No broad strokes of genius anymore.
I believe that the MATRIX and its sequels will be much better than most, primarily that the directors are left alone to create by their own valition. Problem with Trek and Bond, the series owners are too protective of the long term goals and refuse to be broad and creative, in other words, inventive and fun, and even possibly mentally challenging.
This is why Independant film, whether it cost fifty dollars or fifty million, is so much more fun. No studio involvement to dilute the process.

Well here comes another one...
Pirates Of The Caribbean Planning Back-to-Back Sequels
To join the ranks of Back to the Future, LOTR, and Matrix..
Disney is considering filming two sequels for Pirates of the Caribbean back-to-back, then releasing them at seperate dates. The Lord of the Rings trilogy did this, as did The Matrix sequels.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski, and stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley are all set for the first sequel, but have yet to sign on for the second sequel.
