I'm SERIOUSLY excited at the prospect of this 3D rerelease possibly being meant as a gesture to rekindle faith in and goodwill towards the franchise after several lackluster sequels and in anticipation of the Terminator rights reverting to James Cameron in 2019. OMFG IF JAMES CAMERON'S NEXT PROJECT AFTER AVATAR 4 IS A TRUE SEQUEL TO TERMINATOR 2 I MIGHT DIE O_O
Not interested in converted 3D movies personally, but T2 is long overdue for a new transfer and if Cameron has had that done in the process then its all good.
Not until I get Battle Angel Alita, and even then I'm pretty sure Linda Hamilton still owns the rights to The Terminator franchise.
Nope- James Cameron gets full rights back on Jan 1st 2019. That's the reason a sequel to genysis was announced before the film was done with its theater run - all movies, dvd, games etc under the current brand had to be out in retail by Dec 31 2018. He was also an "executive adviser" on Genysis -ie the aging skin idea was his -almost like he was planting seeds for when it was his time to be the sole decision maker on the franchise direction. We still need a legit War with the Machines movie - Hell the whole 1st part of Genysis with the assault on LA was meant to be in T2, the story boards and pre-production were done, but the scene would have cost too much and screwed with pacing.
LOLWUT He already handed over the reins to Battle Angel Alita and Linda Hamilton was never involved in the ownership or control of the Terminator franchise at all.
Someone explain to me how the hell Linda Hamilton got the rights to T2? I know they were married but Cameron's lawyer must have been an idiot.
Apologies, I stand corrected...after some brief googling it seems she got the rights in the divorce and promptly sold them to the current owners. I guess he was just playing the long-game there, lol.
okay; how am i boring? yea, but would be awesome to see it in theaters. they bring back movies all the time to theaters. heck, i'd see terminator 2 again, than terminator another terminator sequel. i just do not want to see it in 3d.
I saw it back then at the campsite's cinema, although I was not yet 16 I think I was 10 or 11. Depending on if it was 91 or 92 that I saw it. Don't know exactly. That was awesome.
The first of MANY times I saw it in a theater was on opening day and we made a special trip to a nicer-than-average mall to make a day of it and see it in a great theater. So I'd been at the mall all day and playing at the arcade there since they had all the newest, coolest games and because I was roughly Edward Furlong's age at the time. Needless to say, I was 100% immersed for the arcade/mall-shootout scenes, lol. No one's saying it doesn't. But giving the special effects another pass at a slight update and sharpening them up plus adding a state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line 3D conversion job on top of all that sounds pretty damned awesome, too.
Terminator, the film itself/distro is owned by a 3rd party - weird deal in the 80s. Reason why the scenes from the original Terminator had to be re-shot for Genysis, as the 3rd party owners said no to using the original footage.
I wouldn't be surprised if in Jaunary 2019, he officially announces the next Terminator film and maybe this time this will be the movie we've been waiting for. Please. Just one good new Terminator film with the future war....PLEASE.
from my experience, conversions to 3d just look like shit. so what you want is for the movie to go from looking amazing, to a steaming pile of shit. in that case, you might as well just watch the fourth movie.
Nope! Don't be so presumptuous and alarmist. As Titanic 3D and countless other conversions have proven, as long as proper time and care are taken with the conversion process the outcome can be rendered indistinguishable from footage actually shot in 3D, often side-by-side within the same movie. And if you think they're just gonna slap some shit conversion job together for one of the crown jewels of the King of 3D's empire then you're even more presumptuous and alarmist than you sound, lol.
