"Looks like VRL's bet on the Matrix will pay off big time. If this doesn't move the share-price then nothing will."

No doubt about it, VRL, the company, will make big bucks off the films. So too will the Village BOD and certain insiders.

I rather doubt that the other shareholders will see much of the profit from the films.

Australia is now suffering from some kind of malaise where ordinary shareholders continue to lose hundreds of millions of dollars on their investments, but where a few select insiders and higher ups make millions at the same time the business has problems.

AMP, HIH, GIO, CSL, SRP, ADZ, VRLPA are just a few that come to mind.
