I really hope that I don't have to buy revised and Animatrix again! |
I find the extra hour of footage from EtM very cool...I've always wanted to see it incorporated into the film...I think it would make it more complete...and Im all for more stuff since Reloaded and Revolutions are basically one big movie...
I dont hear anyone complaining when Peter Jackson does it...but the Wach Bros do it and bitch bitch bitch... |
I have a friend who works at Warner Home Video and last month he told me that the Matrix box set will have 9 dvd so as OP said, but he did not gave me the details about the dvd yet. He only told me that there will be some anime in one of the dvd but is not animatrix, more likely will be the one from video game.
it will release probably the end of the year or beginning of next year. MSRP around $100. :( Hope he did not tell me the truth :( Flippo |

With most other movies we get "Here is the first DVD, and maybe sometime we'll revisit it." It mgiht be two years, it might be tied the sequel, who knows. But this is nothing like what Peter Jackson and New Line have done with Lord of the Rings. |

If that is the case, I hope they sell Reloaded separately (assuming the other two remain in their theatrical cuts). |
Makes me glad I never bothered buying any "Matrix" movies since I bought the original one when it was first released.
And, the difference between this and LOTR is that we were given a heads-up that extended cuts/more extensive SEs would be coming out a few months later. As opposed to something like "Underworld," where the extended cut/extra-special edition was released a few months later without advance warning. Yes, nobody is "holding a gun" to anyone's head and "forcing" them to rebuy anything, but as consumers, it would be nice if we were given the knowledge that the same movie would be getting a better edition later on, or releasing the better edition at the same time. These kind of shenanigans have pretty much made me NOT buy any new releases. When it comes to movies like "Underworld" and "Matrix," I'm content to just sit on the sidelines and wait for either a superior re-release or a price-reduction. Beat the bastards at their own game. |

New transfer sounds great, but since it was shot with a green filter its not like its going to be any more colorful. No DTS = No Sale.

Possible Matrix Trilogy DVD Details!
I must give proper credit to DavisDVD.com :) Please note that the below is a rumor, but comes from good sources.
So you've got all three of the Matrix films... plus The Animatrix... and The Matrix Revisited... oh, and ditto on the Enter the Matrix video game. You'd think that would be enough of The Matrix to last you forever, but you'd be wrong. As many of you are already aware, Australian retailer EzyDVD recently posted alleged specs for a massive nine-disc Matrix Trilogy box set. Like other DVD sites already have, we here can confirm that a collection with all-new bonus materials is definitely in the works. But are the EzyDVD specs the real deal? With caution and guarded optimism, I hope they are: The Matrix (3 discs) The Matrix Reloaded (3 discs) 3-hour Extended Cut The Matrix Revolutions (2 discs) All-New High Definition Transfers Commentary Tracks All-New Documentaries And More! The company responsible for putting together this boxed set will be Eric Matthies Productions, the same folks who have created nearly all Matrix-related material to date. Their website used to have this blurb (now removed) relating to The Matrix Trilogy box set: We are currently in development on over one dozen hours of new material for this upcoming collector's edition release. This expanded edition of discs will include detailed documentaries on the philosophy and science behind the Matrix scripts as well as a look at the history of action cinema. EMP is also creating a densely layered documentary package estimated at nine total hours using footage that has not been seen in the other Matrix releases. (with thanks to everyone wrote in) ************************* Awesome, awesome, awesome news. I am disappointed that it doesn't include the Animatrix, but hopefully it will include the relevant shorts (Renaissance I and II and Osiris) that are part of the storyline. I imagine most if not all of the Revisited material will be on here as well. Expanded editions of the movies with unseen footage? I'm totally in, just on that alone. |
This is what I've been waiting for. Sign me up. Oh and I'll be back in a few years for the HD version as well. ;)
|
This is a rumor I hope comes true. The set sounds fantastic. The only improvment would be to add the Animatrix.
|
Possible great news on the commentaries and suppliments. I not so sure the transfers for 2&3 can get better???
|
Merged threads.

I imagine most if not all of the Revisited material will be on here as well. There are rumors that there are more anime movies in the works as well, and if those are direct-to-video again the first one might be included with a set of those instead too. Does anyone know when the Matrix mmorpg is scheduled for release? I wonder if this could be ready around the same time. |
Extended version of Reloaded – 1 hour of additional footage
This movie needed almost a hour cut out of it not a hour added. |

I picked up the Matrix/Revisited box set and the Animatrix box set (w/ cd.) I haven't grabbed the other two movies, though.
I will probably sell off the M/MR set, and maybe the Animatrix disc, unless it is confirmed that it won't be included in the box set. I wonder if all of the extras from the current discs will be included? |
With Reloaded and revolutions being pretty new,you would think that they would have been mastered in hi-def in the first place.
|
Here's a definite they should do:
Remix The Matrix trilogy with DD 5.1 EX and give all the films both DD EX/DTS-ES tracks. |
Enter The Matrix was one of the all-time worst movie games in the sad, sad history of movie-based video games, but the actual movie footage in it was pretty good. The only problem is that if the additional hour of footage from Reloaded is just ETM footage, well, um, the ETM footage is very choppy and skips from place to place, since it occurs in between levels of the video game. How the hell Andy and LINDA Wachowski hope to integrate that into the feature film and not have it be a ludicrous set of disconnected scenes (such as the entire film Van Helsing) is beyond me.
In other news, I didn't bother to buy Reloaded or Revolutions, because IMHO they both sucked, especially in comparison to the original film, but if this box set is for real I doubt I would be able to resist buying it. After all, getting the original film remastered would be worth the torture of also having the second 2 films. |
Now we just need a release date so that I can feel comfortable unloading my copies of the first two films somewhere :)
|
It's WB. There's not going to be a DTS track, so give that up. If you aren't going to buy any WB movie because it won't have a DTS then you are plain silly.
|
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves SE and True Romance SE both have DTS tracks.
|
Of course, DTS-ES would be a huge improvement here but I'll definitely buy it no matter if there is DTS or not.
|
Originally posted by evitagen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves SE and True Romance SE both have DTS tracks. |
Twister, Interview with the Vampire, and the Lethal Weapon movies have dts...so why not the Matrix films?
|
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have DTS on these, but I'd be happy with a remixed DD track.
|
I debated whether to buy Reloaded or not when it came out, same deal with Revolutions. I told myself I wouldn't double dip, because the movies aren't worth it, unless, get this, there would be a 8 or 9 disk megaset of the trilogy. Someone's been reading my thoughts, it's creepy. Guess I'm gonna shell out some more cash. If they don't include the Animatrix, it would seem kind of silly because the set, as I see it, would want to explain the Matrix universe and expand its mythology. If the Animatrix adds to the Matrix universe, then it seems kind of silly to leave it out (especially if they're gonna add some scenes from the video game). In any case, I doubt it'll be better than the Alien set, not much else is.

Originally posted by DVD Josh The same two titles everyone brings up. The fact of the matter is that WB has not embraced DTS and nor will it probably ever. A properly done DD track can rival DTS and if you balanced the levels between the two, I would bet nickels to dollars you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. |
Bumping for good reason! New development (as reported on thedigitalbits.com)
Also today, a friend of The Bits e-mailed us last night with a link to the message boards at Spawn.com. Seems one of the moderators there let slip that Todd McFarlane himself has just been interviewed for The Matrix Trilogy DVD box set. Although sources have been telling us that it was in production for some time now, this is the first public confirmation we've seen. Here's the relevant quote from the post: "Today, in this very office... actually at this very moment, Todd is sitting down to do an interview for the upcoming DVD boxed set of The Matrix Trilogy (scheduled to be released sometime this winter). While I don't have all of the details regarding Todd's involvement, I do know that the segment in which he will be appearing revolves around the history of action films. For more specifics you'll either have to wait until I have more info to share with you, or you'll have to pick up the boxed set, but until then, here's a photograph of the set, which is decorated with a wide assortment of our Matrix action figures..." **************** Great news. Sounds like the only thing that could rival this set would be a LOTR Trilogy (and perhaps the Quad). |
True Romance and Robin Hood are Morgan Creek films. There is some deal where Warner distributes their films, but does not impact the audio tracks.
And the Twister, Lethal Weapon, etcs releases were a "test" by Warner's to see whether including DTS was worth it to them. Obviously they determined that it was not. I remember some sort of chat with Warners (maybe on HTF) where they said that they didn't sell very well. Anyway, point is that we shouldn't expect any actual Warner titles to have DTS. All that said, I would LOVE to have DTS on the Matrix films. But I will buy them regardless. |
This is an aussie set, right? Well, aren't the Matrix films distributed in Australia by Village Roadshow alone, not Warners?
|
Latest news is that the Animatrix will indeed be included. Along with "Revisited" discs for each movie, plus other trilogy-wide features on separate discs.
