“The Matrix” Celebrates 10th Anniversary With New Single Blu-ray™ Book Version From Warner Home Video March 31

(December 15, 2008 – Burbank, CA) – “The Matrix,” the film Entertainment Weekly called the #1 Sci-Fi Film of the past 25 years and a staple on countless other Top Ten Sci-Fi lists, celebrates its 10th Anniversary with a new single Blu-ray book release on March 31 from Warner Home Video and Village Roadshow Pictures. The film will be released as “The Matrix 10th Anniversary Blu-ray™ Book,” packaged in a collectible bonus book that includes 37 pages of insightful essays, trivia and photos. Previously only available as part of a collection, this new edition of “The Matrix” includes the In-Movie Experience and a digital copy for use with Windows Media and iTunes. “The Matrix 10th Anniversary Blu-ray™ Book” will sell for $34.99 SRP. Orders are due February 24, 2009. “The Matrix” follows the trials of Neo (Keanu Reeves), a young computer programmer, 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 Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) says to Neo, “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 which was a worldwide box-office sensation when it debuted in 1999.
