Title: The Matrix Trilogy Box Set
Post by: Wiggum on Mar 25, 2004 at 08:27 AM
FYI, from comingsoon.net.  Thought I'd spin this off from the Matrix Revolutions DVD thread and start a new one, though its release is still probably a year (at least) away.

First Details of The Matrix Trilogy Box Set
Source: Dimp Paddy
Wednesday, March 24, 2004


'Dimp Paddy' pointed us to the website for Eric Matthies Productions who are currently working on box set of The Matrix trilogy.

We are currently in development on over one dozen hours of new material for this upcoming collectors 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.

Stay tuned for an official announcement from Warner Home Video on this.


Here's the EMP link: http://www.emp23.com/our_work.htm (http://www.emp23.com/our_work.htm)

Doesn't sound too enticing IMHO.  8)



Preorder from Amazon :

The Ultimate Matrix Collection Limited Edition Collector's Set (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002Y69NQ/ref=ase_pinoydvd-20) $90.99  (30%)

from dvd.ign.com:

Matrix Box Set Details
Finally, some story background.

 
March 24, 2004 - More signs that a Matrix box set is in the works. ComingSoon.net was the first to point out a link on the web site of Eric Matthies Productions, a media production company in the Hollywood area, discussing a box set. That'll get them an angry phone call from Joel Silver.

EMP said it is working on "over one dozen hours of new material for this upcoming collectors [sic] 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."

So it looks like the box set will be more than just throwing the three movies in one package. EMP didn't mention a release date, which means it's not set or they had the good sense to keep quiet about that.

Here's a report from thedigitalbits.com on what appears to be the specs of the Matrix boxset:

And finally today, could this be actual information about a forthcoming Matrix Ultimate Collection box set? U.K. retailer HMV has posted details on what would be a 10-disc set, which would include:

1 - The Matrix (with all-new transfer & audio commentary)
2 - The Matrix Revisited (the original version with behind-the-scenes footage)
3 - Matrix Reloaded: Extended Version (new cut with 55 minutes of new footage inserted back into the film)
4 - Matrix Reloaded Revisited (all new interviews, scene dissections and more)
5 - Matrix Revolutions (original cut with audio commentaries)
6 - Matrix Revolutions Revisited (a host of all-new extras)
7 - The Animatrix
8 - The Roots of the Matrix (3 hours of features)
9 - The Burley Man Chronicles (the people behind The Matrix discuss their work)
10 - The Zion Archive (a tour of Matrix design concepts, storyboards & drawings)

The set would also include a 20-page booklet. Click on the link above for additional extras details. Obviously, this would be a U.K. release, but these generally mirror the R1 release pretty closely. We'll have to wait and see if Warner makes an announcement in the coming weeks.


Here's the UK HMV link for more details and a shot of the boxset: http://www1.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=224;5;-1;-1&sku=202272

(http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMVVIDEO/MATRIXBOX2.JPG)

The site also indicates that it (UK release at least) will be out on December 6.  Sasabay pa yata sa LOTR ROTK EE (Good luck Neo  ;D).  But of course, like what the folks at digitalbits said, it would be more prudent to wait for the official announcement from Warner to confirm this.  :P

My previous opinions still stands. however, a new transfer for the 1st movie, i might be interested with it.

Post by: Baluts on Jul 04, 2004 at 03:05 AM
i think that a 10 discs set is a waste. hope they've made it just like the indiana jones and starwars set so that our money wont be wasted on things that are not that impt. just wish that the star wars trilogy box set was made 6 discs. ;D
for the matrix trilogy i think that a 10 discs set is not necesary cos i think even though the special features on reloaded and revolutions is minimum i still think that its enough. the only mising in that release is the wachowski bros other than that im satisfied.

10 discs is awesome.There are some collectors who would die for that set. ;D Only hope that the slip case is not their final design.Make something like Band of Bros or Bruce Lee.If they're gonna go out, might as well go out with a bang! :D

wow. ten discs... ilang araw kaya bago ko matapos lahat yun?  ::) will have to wait and see if i can get this one when it comes out. i can almost hear my dad go: "ano? matrix na naman? di ba meron ka na nun?"  :P it's kinda hard to explain to my dad about the different versions of DVDs.... it took me a while to get him to understand why i bought the extended cut of LOTR!  ;D

Any chance of a "lesser" boxset? Like maybe just the movies and a disc of extra features (a la Indy Jones?) Parang too much naman for me yung 10 discs  :o! But then again..  >:D

Post by: Wiggum on Aug 12, 2004 at 07:36 AM
From the Rumor Mill of TheDigitalBits.com:

"Anyone out there up for The Ultimate Matrix Collection? According to the Wachowski Brothers, who made a rare public appearance at the recent Comic-Con to talk about the DVDs, it's on the way in December. They were part of a Warner Bros. DVD panel on Saturday, which happened right before the big Lucasfilm Star Wars panel, so it seems not many people from the online DVD world were in attendance to hear them talk (including us). But faithful Bits reader Doug S. was there and sent us all the details, some which confirm things we'd heard before and some of it new information.

A promo was shown revealing two versions of the set, including a more expensive Collector's Edition Gift Set that includes a Neo minibust from Gentle Giant and a soundtrack CD. As we've heard before, this will be a 10-disc set as follows:

Disk 1 - The Matrix (digitally remastered and recolored)
Disk 2 - The Matrix Revisited (The SAME disc already released)
Disk 3 - The Matrix Reloaded
Disk 4 - The Matrix Reloaded Revisited
Disk 5 - The Matrix Revolutions
Disk 6 - The Matrix Revolutions Revisited
Disk 7 - The Animatrix (The SAME disc already released)
Disk 8 - The Roots of the Matrix
Disk 9 - The Burly Man Chronicles
Disk 10 - The Zion Archive

Here's additional information the Wachowskis revealed at the panel:

Despite rumors, there will be no new director's cuts. The brothers said they were very happy with the original theatrical versions.

There will be two audio commentaries for each film - one from philosophers Ken Wilber and Cornel West (who analyze the meanings behind the films), and one from three professional critics who hated all three films (no names given). According to Andy Wachowski, "It's the best idea we've ever had. It's hilarious. They just sit there and rip the s**t out of us for six hours."

All the footage shot for the Enter the Matrix videogame is present on the DVD for Matrix Reloaded. However, it is not cut into the film - it's a separate special feature you can view scene-by-scene.

Finally, the Wachowskis said that none of the special features from the original DVD releases of the trilogy will be reproduced except for what you find on Discs 2 and 7. You may see some of the same footage re-edited, but if you want to own all of the extras you'll need to keep your original DVDs too."


I think the audio commentary featuring three professional critics who HATED the movies should be interesting.  Ala Mystery Science Theater 3000!  ;D

I'm normally not one who'll splurge for a "collector's edition" just for better packaging and bonus items, but I think I can make an exception in this case:

I mean, it's like there's no comparison at all to the regular edition:

I'm guessing the R3 will be in a BIG BIG box with 10 Amaray-type cases inside.  ::)

they should include a copy of the game "enter the matrix" since it does include part of the story as well. although it would be a problem since there are PC, PS2 & Xbox versions . . .

just a thought since we were talking about an "ultimate edition"

Quoted from DVDTalk regarding the packaging of the Ultimate Edition...

THE PACKAGING

The packaging for the Ultimate Matrix Collection: Limited Edition carries with it a definite coolness, but the construction is rather flimsy. The discs are stacked in a clear-plastic box, which is labeled elegantly but feels on the cheap side. You slide discs out on thin plastic trays. On the other side of the box is a very well-designed and finely painted Neo bust. Behind the box is a glued-on paper representation of the raining Matrix code, but my copy was marred by one of those damned security stickers. (Why couldn't they affix the sticker to the plastic box, so that it could be easily removed?)

The included booklet has a terrific metallic-green 3-d cover. It includes a reprint of the Written Introduction by the Wachowski Brothers, which also appears on Discs 1, 2, and 3. The rest of the book is devoted to outlining the DVD contents, along with production and behind-the-scenes photographs, conceptual art, and trivia.

Is the packaging work the extra 50 bucks or more? Well, let me tell, you: It looks awfully cool on my shelf. Isn't that all that matters?

after reading the reviews posted in dvdtalk and digitalbits..and the professional advice of fellow collectors,  i have chosen to purchase the regular ultimate edition instead..

what are you guys buying? Regular Edition or with Bust?

------------------


*btw.. a third choice already up for purchase... with film script. info courtesy of aldrin..

I'll still go with the bust. It's the cabinet-type of casing I'm after...
Title: Re: The Matrix Trilogy Box Set
Post by: Koolkat on Dec 04, 2004 at 10:10 PM
Regular for me. After my experience with the spider man gift set, I dont think I'll be buying any gift sets or any ultimate editions any time soon.
Title: Re: The Matrix Trilogy Box Set
Post by: hemisphere on Dec 05, 2004 at 07:02 PM
with the neo bust, it seems tempting to get this piece which would go collectible in the years to come. i am just worried that the cabinet might be too big for keeping and may turn dull through time.

i might order both and keep one sealed..  7 days to think about it..  ::)
Title: Re: The Matrix Trilogy Box Set
Post by: krets pulpol on Dec 06, 2004 at 11:20 AM
except for Lethal weapon legacy, twister, interview with the vampire.  ;)

i'll include american outlaws, robin hood - prince of theives, true romance se director's cut, and the prime gig on the list.

region 1 of course!  ;D

Post by: baby on Dec 06, 2004 at 06:46 PM
Mine is already shipped at amazon.But up to now i still thinking about what to keep.The regular edition or the gift set with the bust.Its a costly decision to make.I would like to have the bust displayed but I dont like to open the gift set.But if I order 2 of them.One sealed and one that i would open to display the bust.It would cost me a lot to get 2 copies of gift set. ??? ???.Sometimes I ask myself.Bakit ako pumasok sa mundo ng dvd.At first i just like to watch.But when they release it with busts or figures.Its so tempting to buy them all.Wala bang gamot sa bisyo nito ::) :P

Hehehe.. di ka nag-iisa bro, read this thread:

How to stop dvd addiction (http://www.pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=19281.0)

As for me, I only plan to get the regular boxset without the bust, but to date, I haven't ordered one anywhere ;D

sorry mods for quoting the pix.. substantial sa question ko po sir/madame..

boss aldrin, sturdy ba ang foam that protects the plexi/fiber glass casing(as seen on pix)? kakatakot sa shipping baka maging mosaic ang matrix ko..  at parang napakalaki... how big compared to let's say star wars boxset?

please answer in 3 words lang... lol..  ;D 5 sentences na lang..

btw, mahal agad sa amazon.. buti naka-preorder ako last minute..

On behalf of Aldrin, mine fell of from the BestBuy Cart while Im moving it inside the car. But Thank Goodness nothing got broken, the foam is exactly fitted with the package carton ( check my pic of the package carton ). Seriously, no joke on it

got my copy of the regular edition yesterday from amazon.com shipped via dhl express w/ tracking no. (ang bilis).....

i can say that the box that houses the 5 digipaks, is probably one of the coolest there is  in terms of design and art works, it's distinctively matrix, can't think of any other design best suited for this ;)

Don't send it through JAC.  It's quite heavy.  If you want to order.  order it directly to your place.  But this one is not gonna be shipped through Royal Logistics.  It's gonna pass through customs.  Or if you want order kita.hehe ;D
