It's true. It's real. It's happening!
Yeah, never say never but I think Fox is making sure that they cover as many potential future releases as they can think of. Considering that this is the first time that Cameron has done anything with The Abyss since he worked on the special edition nearly 25 years ago, it's probably a good idea to cover as many bases as possible.In the referenced article Cameron mentions that they're doing a pass for HDR at the same time they're doing the 4K scan, which hints at the possibility of a UHD release... at some point.
OK Ron, I have to ask...
Way back in 2013 or 2014 we had a thread speculating if The Abyss was going to be announced at ComicCon that year. After no announcement, I recall you chimed in and mentioned that you had recently had some conversations with some insiders and that we should not expect a release for a LONG time or something to that effect.
So were you made aware back then that a new scan was holding things up, whether due to Cameron's demands or mutual decision with TCFHE?
