Kind of off topic, kind of not (this still is about the Matrix):

I just found that someone scanned an open matte 35mm print of the trailer and it looks glorious! It appears that any shots with vfx are matted to 16:9 (they were probably rendered at that aspect ratio). This isn’t surprising since the vfx shots in the full screen DVDs of the sequels are just cropped at the sides compared to the 16:9 HDTV master.

Would anyone have a clue as to where to find a 35mm open matte copy of the film? I know there are anamorphic prints out there as well since the released scan is from one of those prints.
