THE ANIMATRIX on the big screen at San Diego Comic-Con

Date: Tuesday, July 01, 2003

Due in part to the positive fan response, Warner Home Video is scheduling a four-day theatrical run of THE ANIMATRIX at this year's San Diego International Comic-Con. All nine short films that encompass THE ANIMATRIX will be shown in 35mm format at the Pacific Theaters Gaslamp starting Thursday, July 17th, and running until Sunday, July 20th.

Ticket prices will be at their regular cost except for Comic-Con attendees. Everyone who shows their Comic-Con registration badge will receive a discount on their ticket purchase. The theater, located at 701 Fifth Ave. (at G St.) in San Diego, is within walking distance of the convention center.

The theatrical print of THE ANIMATRIX features a slightly different order of the shorts than the DVD release. There are also no end credits for each short; instead, full credits will run at the conclusion of the film. The film will remain full-length and uncut and be presented in English-language format.

As far as we know, this is the only theatrical screening of THE ANIMATRIX being put together by Warners.

Again, the screening information is:

THE ANIMATRIX
July 17 - July 20
Pacific Theatres Gaslamp
701 Fifth Ave.
San Diego, CA 92101
