Exclusive: Cameron Plans Titanic 3D
And maybe Terminator 2: 3D as well!

29 July 2009  |  Written by Helen O'Hara  


When we talked to James Cameron last week at Comic-Con (more from Cameron here) we asked about his love of 3D, and he told us that he's not just using it for new films like Avatar, but also planning to 3D-ify old classics like Titanic.

Said the King of the World, "We're going to do Titanic in 3-D! We've already done a 90 second clip of it and it's phenomenal and gorgeous, so that's going to be the project for next year. It's a conversion of it, not native photography; we can't go back."

But that's not all. We asked if he was considering the treatment on any of his other classics like Aliens, and Cameron said, "You know, we've thought about Terminator 2, which  could be fun because I think that's a film that stands the test of time for me. I think that Aliens was a really good film in its time, but visually it doesn't quite hold up; we've kind of evolved beyond that now. I mean, for me it doesn't. Terminator 2, I think, is the cusp of where it still holds up, through now. True Lies, I don't think so; it doesn't feel right to me. Titanic absolutely, slam dunk! I want to see it!"

If this is indeed Cameron's project for next year, expect to see it in 2011 at the earliest, we'd have thought, or perhaps late 2012 for the 15th anniversary of its original release. Biggest 3D movie ever? Well, almost certainly - at least until they three-dimensionalise Gone with the Wind.

Seriously ...
Why has True Lies become James Cameron's 'lost' film? It had one extremely crappy DVD release, and there's no sign of a blu-ray. It surely can't be because of September 11. There are far more dubious films out there enjoying good DVD and blu-ray releases. More

Terminator 2...
in 3D will just be the PWN!!! If Jimbo goes for it, I am so there...Titanic on the other hand...as much as I love Kate Winslet...I think it should be left alone...Terminator 2 seems a much more fitting tribute... More

I never liked T2, the other Terminator films were far better. More

T2
that will be AMAZING! i'm not that fussed on Titanic though. all these new 3d remakes all sound like one of the best ideas in a while. More

He's rich enough. He's turning into George Lucas. Just leave them alone. More

Not the dry ice again…please!
As big a fan as I am of Cameron I’ve experienced T2: Battle Across Time and it was pretty shite, even as a 15 year old kid. Focusing and channelling all efforts into projects like Battle Angel and Further Avatar stories might be a better use of the money and resources? More

Great...
I can't wait for this, basically no new films will be made and old films will be just re-released in 3D... On the plus side, this should mean less remakes More
