TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY Returns to Theaters in 3D This Summer!
It's been over 26 years since James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day was released in theaters. Now fans will get the chance to see it for the first time in 3D this summer! We know that Cameron has talked about his desire to do a 3D conversion of the film, and now we'll finally get to see it on August 25th!
When previously talking about his desire to convert T2 over T1, Cameron explained:
"Terminator 1 I don’t think so because you could upgrade it to 3D but it’s still pretty gritty, available light photography, low budget filmmaking. We’d spend more converting it to 3D than we spent on the movie. That feels a little imbalanced to me.
"But Terminator 2 is a more polished film and, I think, it has a kind of timeless appeal. If there was someone who was interested in doing that, and we could make a good case for the business model like, perhaps let’s say, it’s never been on screens in China which in the next few years is about to become the biggest market for films worldwide. That alone might justify the cost of a conversion which might be 6 or 7 million dollars. And then a 3D re-release might attract some eyeballs in North American and Europe and then the Chinese release, which would be the first release on the big screen, might pay for it."
It's awesome that he was able to make this 3D conversion happen. I haven't seen T2 since it was first released in theaters in 1991! Now, 26 years later I'll get to see it on the big screen again, and this time in 3D! With Cameron overseeing the 3D conversion process, I know he's going to want it to look as perfect as it can be. I'm excited!
