Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the good-extras-and-extra-goodies dept.

Kartik3 writes "IGN.com is reporting that Warner Bros. is releasing a 2-disc special edition DVD of The Matrix (loaded with extras) on April 29th and The Animatrix (An Anime series set in the world of the Matrix) DVD on June 3rd." If Animatrix is half as cool as the promo comic that was given out at the Matrix opening, I'll like it.

    why should I get it?
    It'd probably be rotten in 2 years.

    I've always wanted another special-edition DVD to waste 30 bucks on!

    How long before these DVDs degrade into a pool of goo?

    I tried to submit this about three days ago and couldn't get through to the site. This is only related because I tried to submit it first, but: what was going on with the site that prevented me from submitting a story from four different locations? The submit page loaded only once, and when I clicked 'preview', I received a server error. After that, I could get the main page, stories, etc. to load, but not the submit page. From school, home, and work... I'm only curious.

    As for the special edition DVD... I can't wait! I unfortunately received a copy of my Matrix DVD with the pins in the center of the jewel case broken and missing, so the DVD has simply been sliding around for over a year. I never bothered to buy another copy because I figured a special edition had to come out sooner or later.

    But looking at the release specs, deleted scenes still seem to be absent. Did they only shoot what they wanted, and did nothing get cut? I can hardly find that believable... or was everything worth keeping kept (probably)?

    Either way, the Matrix is my favorite movie of all time -- bar none -- and I'll be there to pick up my copy of the special edition DVD as soon as I can!
