Blast! I missed!

Or we, as a community...
Can raid the San Diego HQ.
No? Fine.
You just never know if you're RP wife is a psychologically insane IC axe murderer. :/
At the least, I would love to see cinematics based upon the written chapters made by some of the immensely talented movie makers that MxO's community has. Whether or not the story as written by Rare is approved of by the players or not, it would make for some very cool viewing.
Sure, let me find my Morpheus RSI capture.

Well, we have pretty much everything needed to just make someone's RSI look like morpheus. It's far from perfect, but there already have been player made cinematics that have included LE characters.. it just takes a little creativity (or the fraction of a dev we have to just make all RSI masks usable by players, but that's another topic altogether).
I would be willing to bet if you contacted Virrago and explained what you were doing, he'd pop on and change you into whoever you needed to be for the movie. Virrago's pretty cool like that.

Win.
On a serious note though, I have it on good authority that a few folks might be working on "something".

Player folks? Or, dare I ask, SOE folks?
At this point in time I'm willing to entertain even the tiniest bit of hope. Something written by a SOE janitor written on the back of a ag packet and implemented by SOE's worst intern would be something at least..

Ha, knew that small bit of hope was too much to hope for! I think my previous post used up my capacity for positivity for today.
There were several tries at this. No one can agree on how to continue the storyline - everyone has their own crack at it.
I believe someone did try to continue the story, but the event got flamed into non-existance before it could even start.

Forget 'agreeing'.
... tolerate, suspend disbelief, play along, play nice or even watch from a distance and not interfere nay-saying.
Insert any.

I'm just saying, any attempt by anyone in this community to do anything with the 'official story' will be met with the same derision and ridicule that LESIG 3.0 and "The Shadow Run" did. It was lol-worthy, but at the same time, it was people who seemed to be going out of their way to entertain our community.

You make a point, but it was really the presumptuous way it was announced that caused the drama, imo. Stuff like this GCET thing seems to look like a decent attempt but without assumed air of officiality (whether that was intended or not by the other team).

1. That was announced way too soon and those organizing said story threw a fit when everyone didnt run to TSR with open arms.
2. The event was posted in General Discussion which threw alot of people off and started the flame war.
3. Nothing was stopping the event team from running their story, they just decided not to do it. They may be jacked out now anyway.
However many chapters are left would be divided amongst the three servers. Each server would organize an event team to enact whatever chapters they have. Everyone else will be the audience (along with new players). Use DN1 to document everything (screenshots, announcements,..etc). Win.

I am not so sure if it would be best to develop the story any further than it already has been - at least under the banner of doing so in an "official" capacity vis-a-vis argumentum ad populum, taking into consideration that at this point, the last official input was that of Rarebit in the summary and outline of what he had planned for the remaining chapters yet to be enacted.
Following from this, I think it may be an idea for groups such as the one Garu mentioned, who would hope to, in a regard: "finish" the story which we have already based on that summary and outline.
When we look to a painting, each of us sees a personal image.
Each author tells a different tale.
And each history book tells a different story by way of bias in what they choose to focus upon.
Thus, no attempt to do so can be perfect but it would, at the very least, give us, as a community and as fans of the Matrix universe, the chance to see something come of the last official input given to MxO.
