Jan 6th, 2004 is NOT the day
Cinescape has posted this. Sorry people:
"According to one of our sources, rumors that THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS is to be released on home video this coming January 6 are completely inaccurate. The studio is nowhere near to having a master cut of the DVD release of REVOLUTIONS, with work continuing on the title over the holidays and beyond.
"I can unequivocally tell you that its NOT coming out then," writes our source, the identity of whom we've established but they prefer to remain anonymous. The scooper then goes on to report that MATRIX producer Joel Silver is working on the REVOLUTIONS DVD process right now and that mastering a final cut of the DVD is an ongoing process. "What the retailers probably received was the date they can preorder the DVD," adds our informant.
Our source also tells us that the likely release date of REVOLUTIONS on home video is more likely in or around April -- and that when the movie comes out it won't be available as part of a boxed set of the MATRIX movies, at least not yet. "It will be released shortly thereafter, but it's not a compilation of all the DVDs," says our agent. "It's something better and different."
And with that comes an end to the REVOLUTIONS by January rumor."
Just a rumour, true - but January DID seem a bit soon, after all...
