James Cameron is releasing a 4K remaster of his film The Abyss in theaters, promising a restoration of the film that he actually set out to make. Cameron says, 'If you haven't seen the film before, this is the way to experience it. And if you have, you'll be seeing the film I actually set out to make, with some big surprises not seen in the original released version.'
The Abyss was a notoriously stressful production, with the majority of the shoot taking place in deep underwater tanks. Cameron's ambition to film underwater was both a blessing and a curse, as the cast and crew had to train as divers and deal with faulty equipment and constant duress from producers. Cameron himself nearly drowned during production.
The success and innovation of The Abyss paved the way for Cameron's groundbreaking work on Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film's visual effects revolutionized the industry in the '90s, and without The Abyss, Terminator 2 may not have been possible.
