Revolutions release set to release at exactly the same time world-wide?

Just got this from www.videoeta.com...

FINAL 'MATRIX' MOVIE SET FOR UNPRECEDENTED RELEASE

Perhaps they're borrowing something from TV's 24, but the producers of The Matrix: Revolutions are planning a real-time, worldwide rollout of the last movie in the Matrix franchise. Obviously, with the different time zones, some people might have to stay up to 3:00AM to be the first to see it.

While studios are moving towards releasing movies worldwide on the same day to combat illegal pirated copies, this is the first time that someone has attempted a simultaneous release over all time zones.

Although, if one movie is up to the test, The Matrix: Revolutions might be the one. The Matrix: Reloaded released this weekend is already setting records, earning a rumored $10 million in its Wednesday night preview showings.

The Matrix: Revolutions is set for a November 5, 2003 release...of
course, if you live on the other side of the International Time Line,
that might be a November 6th release. And you thought only the plot was confusing...

Thats going to roll in the Watchowski brothers, and everyone else involved with the movies a s***load of cash, if they can collaborate enough to do it that way... that just blows my mind how much money they could possibly bring in off that idea.

There's something both disturbing and exhilerating about that concept. The thought that people all over the world may well be experiencing the end of the Matrix (series) at the same moments....

Now, if only the Watchowski brothers could pull off a real miracle and get all theaters to actually 'start' their movies at the times they say they are going to start. (I had to sit through 24 minutes of commercials, PSA's and previews just to see the Matrix at the Showcase)
