The Abyss - Blu-ray Forum

immortalchaos · 07-01-2009, 09:54 PM

I just saw on amazon The Abyss listed for blu ray. That would be so sweet. I love that movie. It didn't list a date though.

Ernest Rister · 07-01-2009, 10:34 PM

That means there is no date

Bodyslide · 07-01-2009, 10:36 PM

This was a Great movie. I can't wait for this to be released for Blu-Ray.......

- UPDATE -

From the digitalbits Rumor Mill-

Okay... the following should be considered VERY tentative. However, we've now heard it from multiple independent sources, including reliable industry insiders, so.... Sources are telling us that director James Cameron has been (or it about to begin) working on a new high-def transfer and master of The Abyss, presumably for eventual Blu-ray Disc release. As many of you know, The Abyss is a title that doesn't even have an anamorphic widescreen DVD release (neither does True Lies for that matter) so it's LONG overdue. We've been hearing this might soon happen from industry insiders for a couple of months now, but the most recent report on this comes from a longtime Bits reader (thank you, Jon H!) who actually had the chance to meet Cameron a few weeks ago. He asked specifically about the possibility of The Abyss coming to Blu-ray, and Cameron said that he was about to start work on a new transfer using the same process he did with the Aliens Blu-ray. Cameron then proceeded to say that he was really excited about how good Aliens looks on the format. So... fingers crossed... maybe we'll finally see those remaining Cameron titles on Blu-ray in the next 12 months or so...

As always, none of this should be considered official until the studios make their official yadda, yadda... You all know the drill by now. Stay tuned!

When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

This is such a magical movie.
It has a feeling of wonderous adventure to it.
There were very few movies during which I had such an experience as during Abyss.

This movie is a real masterpiece, on par with 2001.

neos_peace · 09-30-2010, 02:24 AM

If this is doen right. The picutre quality should be BEYOND beautiful. I mean come on the DVD was good IMO. The Blu version should be reference quality fi done right. And the audio.... don't even get me started on that. It would be killler.

Steve · 09-30-2010, 02:35 AM

This is one of my all-time favorites, especially the extended version. I can't wait for it to be released on blu. This would be a day one buy if ever there was one. It's great to hear they're going to so much trouble on the transfer. It will be worth the wait I'm sure, and I'm also glad to hear the transfer for Aliens sounds very promising.

Belloche · 09-30-2010, 02:40 AM

I kept trying to wait out a new DVD of The Abyss. Eventually I just gave up. I would love to own it on Blu-ray.

MCT · 09-30-2010, 04:34 AM

hell yeah! Give me True Lies while you're at it, Jim. LONG overdue for that one.

DRS · 09-30-2010, 10:06 AM

One of my alltime favorites.

God, it will look GORGEOUS on blu. I can't wait

TheHOYT · 09-30-2010, 03:19 PM

This movie was made for BD!

I cannot wait to see the NTI's in beautiful Hi-Def!

BouCoupDinkyDau · 10-11-2010, 01:51 AM
