It is not secret that the Matrix sequels are really under tight wraps. In recent coverage (here and here on TFN especially) of this theme and the comparison in the press to the secrecy surrounding the Star Wars preqeuls, we did some digging and found out something quite interesting.
Matrix Reloaded is now available for download. And the films isn't headed to theaters for another week and change.
Fans from last summer remember Episode II was available several days before the release in theaters and despite intense secrecy and advanced countermeasures the Matrix sequel has fallen prey to the same fate as well. It is a 900+ MB Divx AVI played and verified for authenticity. Most people are downloading "spoofs" that are actually Sweet Home Alabama or something - but a real one does exist, and it is spreading like wildfire. Oh yeah, and there's an X-Men: United DVD of excellent quality shipping from Hong Kong as well.
The point of all of this was to just acknowledge that the excitement over new measures to make sure films stay in theaters aren't working. Something has to be done about this, and this apparently isn't going to do the trick."
