Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
I'm sorry but I'll only believe him when they are actually released. He gets no free pass from me.

Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
James Cameron: "I’m working on that. The True Lies Blu-ray and the Abyss Blu-ray have sort of fallen off my to-do list, getting one, not two, but four Avatar sequels stood up and going. But now that that has happened, I can actually take care of business. So yes, that is coming." Cameron is like that annoying uncle who just spouts off about all the great things he's got going on just to see if anyone is still listening to his bullshit. At this point I've lost track of everything on his "to-do" list. |
Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
I'm not sure that I even want them anymore.
I wouldn't mind a re-watch of The Abyss, but if it's on a streaming service, that's good enough for me. |
Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
BUMP!
James Cameron CONFIRMS that he still hasn't fucking looked at the transfers he was given. Maybe 2019, boys. True Lies Blu-Ray Could Be Done By End Of 2018, Says James Cameron https://www.empireonline.com/movies/...james-cameron/ “Man, it’s on my to-do list,” Cameron admitted. “It’s a question of time-management. True Lies and The Abyss both have Blu-ray transfers that are complete for my review. The problem is the next 14 hours when I have to go back and trim the color and get each one perfect. That’s 28 hours. I don’t have 28 hours.” He added that he’s hoping to take a look at them before 2019 arrives: “I’ve put it on my list to try to get it done before the end of the year.” Oh, but apparently he was going to do a movie in space with Tom Cruise like 15 years ago or something. James Cameron And Tom Cruise Almost Shot A Film In Space Together https://www.empireonline.com/movies/...pace-together/ “I actually talked to [Cruise] about doing a space film in space, about 15 years ago,” Cameron told Empire. “I had a contract with the Russians in 2000 to go to the International Space Station and shoot a high-end 3D documentary there. And I thought, ‘Shit, man, we should just make a feature.’ I said, ‘Tom, you and I, we’ll get two seats on the Soyuz, but somebody’s gotta train us as engineers.’ Tom said, ‘No problem, I’ll train as an engineer.’ We had some ideas for the story, but it was still conceptual.” |
Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
Can’t Cameron just let one of his flunkies boost up the teal and orange on those films? That’s all he’s going to do, anyway.
|
Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
I've said it before but one day we are going to look back and realize Cameron wasted a good 20 years doing next to nothing. (1997+)
On the flipside, maybe this will spark some movement. True Lies (TV Series) (characters - 2018) (announced) |
Re: Cameron Talks Avatar Redux, 3D, Titanic, Abyss/True Lies Blu-ray
I'm sure most have given up hope at this point....but if you haven't, Cameron mentions it might happen in 2019.

Cameron won’t trust anyone but himself to tint the movies teal and orange.

Re: Cameron Talks Avatar Redux, 3D, Titanic, Abyss/True Lies Blu-ray
I love True Lies, probably more than most, but good Lord, give it a watch and call it good. 14 hours on it? Why?
The Abyss I can understand a little more since it's so effects heavy, it might take some babying, but still. |

Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
Why is it these three titles get this treatment, and his other titles seem to get a string of constant releases (Terminator, T2, Aliens)? I don't keep up with Cameron so I am genuinely curious
|
Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks
If I had to guess, I would assume he doesn't have the same rights to those films since those were the films that gave him the cachet to start making crazy demands (the T2 rights were probably established when he sold the original).

That's possibly true of The Abyss, which is primarily owned by 20th Century Fox. But True Lies was almost entirely a Lightstorm Entertainment production, with Fox only acting as distributor. I'd assume that Cameron still has control over that one.

FYI, True Lies is streaming for free and in HD on The Roku channel. It's ad supported so there will be commercial breaks. Since this movie is literally in Blu-Ray and Digital HD purgatory, this is probably going to be the only way to see it in full legally anytime soon. |

Oh cool. So a brand new remaster that Cameron has to approve, just like those previous remasters he approved so quickly. ;)

I hope you're right. I want this as much as anyone here. If I had to guess, based on zero real knowledge mind you, IF this really happens, it'll get a theatrical re-release first for a week or two, and then on disc a little bit later. I would prefer that happens sooner than later... but we all know how Cameron has delayed shit for this film (and True Lies) for so damn long now. |
Re: The Abyss -- 4K UHD remaster -- News and Rumors
Oh shit, this August is the 30th anniversary of The Abyss. I think it makes sense now. It will get one of those Fathom Events releases and then maybe will get a disc release.

The Abyss is probably my favorite James Cameron movie. Seeing as how I haven’t gone 4K yet, I assume this will skip blu-ray and go straight to 4K just to screw me. |

No 4K release comes with just a 4K disc. It will have a Blu-Ray as well.

Re: The Abyss -- 4K UHD remaster -- News and Rumors
I haven't watched this since I had the old non-anamorphic DVD version, and I sold that when rumors of an upgrade were going around. And the thing is, I haven't really *wanted* to watch it.
I enjoyed it back in the day, but I wonder if it has held up? |
Re: The Abyss -- 4K UHD remaster -- News and Rumors
I recorded a few HD TV broadcasts of the last couple of years and the good news is the AV quality is pretty good.
Unfortunately, the movie doesn't hold up any better now than when it was first released. IMO, it's the least of Cameron's creations. |
Re: The Abyss -- 4K UHD remaster -- News and Rumors
If they skip blu-ray and go straight to 4K, at least I'll have my SE DVD to watch. I won't be going 4K anytime soon, if at all. Hell, I had to twist my arm for years just to go blu-ray.

Of course... I have a handful of 4K releases that don't have Blu-rays with them... but they're imports from other countries. In the US, I can't think of a single release that doesn't have both discs. As for the existing HD version... there's a copy floating around out there of the SE but "cleaned up" a bit by a fan. I can't remember what that entails, and I have yet to watch it... maybe I'll do that this week. :) |

They had a remaster that was talked about for years, and has even played on cable. Yet even with a remaster, it never made it to blu ray. Unfortunately, even after all these years, the movie still doesn't hold together well. |
