'The Matrix' (standalone) is coming (2009)
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet. This bit of news comes courtesy of Blu-ray.com and HighDefDigest.
Apparently in the insert for the new Poltergeist Blu-ray there is an ad touting The Matrix Digi-book release coming in 2009.
Personally, I'm a completist so I'd rather have all 3 films (which I already have on HD DVD), but I'll definitely keep an eye out for this to see how nice it looks.

Its being discussed in the Announcements thread but a stand alone one seems important (since many people hate the second and third film so much)

Too bad it'll be a BD25 with DD 5.1 . . .
I'm teasing. Warner wouldn't do that, would they?
I reckon this is good news for all the folks who've been waiting to buy just the first film. Of course the "Complete" HD DVD set could probably still be had for the same price that this will list for, but still: "digi-book packaging" . . .

But anyway, is there any word on if this will have anything different content wise (I don't care about the packaging) than the HD DVD?

If I end up buying anything Matrix on HD, it would be this standalone release. But this movie hasn't held up well over the years, IMO. Maybe it's just the sequels that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I think the Matrix holds up very well actually, but the sequels were never very good (a few individual sequences notwithstanding).

+1. I just hope Warner does something astounding with the video/audio qualities. If it doesn't get a TrueHD track, that might be a deal breaker for me. There is no excuse why a catalogue title of this caliber should have anything less that the best fidelity.

Huh. No green. Seeing as how I snagged a copy of the Ultimate HD-DVD set on the cheap from DeepDiscount just for the first flick, I'll double up for this Blu-ray.

The three individual HD-DVD releases for the trilogy (which I got for $20 total) is more than good enough for me. But if I hadn't purchased the films that way I would have settled for this standalone release (though I dislike the new cover art).
