Warner is returning to the world of 'The Matrix,' bringing a 10th anniversary DigiBook version of the sci-fi classic to Blu-ray this March.

Previously only available as part of the multi-disc 'Ultimate Matrix Collection' (where it was packaged along with 'The Matrix Reloaded' and 'The Matrix Revolutions'), 'The Matrix' will receive its first stand-alone high-def release on March 24.
