AICN.com had the initial statement from a reader who attended the speech;
'(Keanu) Spoke briefly about the possibility of Bill and Ted part 3 - ( Audience started laughing) but he assured us he's committed to the project.
- Keanu spoke about the need to encourage writers to continue to focus on working on new ideas and that a good script was worth its weight in gold. For example he said the Wachowski's had just sold the most expensive script in history to Warner Brothers. a modern futuristic take on the legend of "Robin Hood". Says he understands WB paid $5 million for the rights and that from what the wachowski's have told him, it will be an action movie that would have the same impact visually and technically that Terminator 2 had. Confirmed that Will Smith has agreed ti headline the picture.
That was pretty much it guys, have to give kudos to Mr Reeves. A true gentleman and and esquire.'
I'm choosing to ignore the Bill & Ted 3 comment as the mere thought of that destroys my soul, but a Matrix 4 and 5? What do you guys think? I LOVED the first film but though pretty, didn't think the two following films really upheld the standard. Admittedly, the Animatrix was terrific, not only for the range of artistry involved but for the storytelling alone... This could bode well for future releases, as long as they don't do the over the top "OH MY GOD 3D!" thing that so many films are attempting to capitalise on lately.
Keep your eyes on this blog for more info as it comes !

Looks like this has been debunked now. Supposedly Keanu never attended that school talk at all! :P
