"The Ultimate Matrix Collection" And "The Complete Matrix Trilogy" DVDs From Warner Home Video
(March 22, 2007 - Burbank, CA) — If ever a film series was meant to be seen in HD DVD, that series is now here. "The Matrix," the legendary, groundbreaking sci-fi film, and its visually dazzling second and third installments, "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" were produced with future technology execution in mind. "The Matrix," the first DVD to sell one million copies and to date a $1 billion worldwide franchise, will be part of two new definitive high definition collections to be released by Warner Home Video and Village Roadshow Pictures on May 22.
"The Ultimate Matrix Collection," for the hardcore Matrix fan, presents the complete adventures of machine battling truth-seekers Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) in all three of the Wachowski brothers’ post-modern epic films. This collection will contain, for the first time, all three HD DVD versions of "The Matrix" series with more than 35 hours of bonus material in 5 double sided discs. The second offering, "The Complete Matrix Trilogy," contains HD DVD versions of the three Matrix films and the three Revisited features in a 3-disc set.
Both "The Ultimate Matrix Collection" and "The Complete Matrix Trilogy" come with the In-Movie Experience (IME), an exclusive interactive feature that allows viewers to enjoy new ways of accessing interviews and other material. For these titles, the IME will let viewers experience the evolution of all The Matrix’s ground breaking elements through the recollections of the cast and creative team.
The "Matrix Series" on HD-DVD is the definitive and ultimate film compilation for the ultimate hi-def format, plus will no doubt make the ultimate Father’s Day gift for sci-fi film lovers. "The Ultimate Matrix Collection" will be available for $119.99 SRP and "The Complete Matrix Trilogy" available for $99.99 SRP. Order due date for all is April 17. Blu-ray Disc versions of both collections will be released later this year.
The Films
"The Matrix" (1999)
The box-office sensation follows the trials of a young computer programmer (Keanu Reeves) searching to determine the deepest reality of a post-Apocalyptic world. His journey uncovers a web of deceit and massive computer-generated illusions obscuring the truth. As the character Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) said to Neo (Reeves), “No one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.” The same is true for this mind-blowing movie.
The film also stars Carrie-Anne Moss and was produced by Joel Silver. "The Matrix" was written and directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski, who spent years nurturing and refining the movie’s breakthrough concepts.
