Tijdens dit interview eerder dit jaar draaide James Cameron er nog een beetje omheen, maar het is woord is er uit via de Facebook (Skynet) pagina van Terminator, er komt een 3D re-release uit in 2017 van Terminator 2. Deze film uit 1991 is zelfs tot op de dag van vandaag zeer geliefd en een pure science fiction cult klassieker die alles in zijn tijd mee had en gewoon een perfecte balans van actie en humor is. Ik heb alle Terminator films origineel in mijn collectie en dat is inclusief de director cuts en ik zou T2 uiteraard zeker in 3D in de bioscoop gaan checken ondanks dat ik 3D haat.

August 29th 1997: The day Skynet first became self aware.
August 29th 2016: the day you first saw the brand new poster for Terminator 2 in 3D. Coming to theaters in 2017.

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.
