No release date yet. But the DVD has never even been anamorphic, so you should probably wait.

It will probably be a while too since Cameron is knee deep in Avatar.

Van Ling at Home Theater Forum has said that HD masters for True Lies and The Abyss are in the can, but both are awaiting approval from Cameron before anything can be done with them. So it'll be until whenever Cameron gets around to it - hopefully he will shortly after the release of Avatar.

no kidding? great news! I loved the Abyss when it came out, and I remember shelling out $100 for the laserdisc version of the extended cut, which made the film so much better.

I got that too along with the James Bond set with the first 3 movies. There were some really first class laser disc packages.

I can see Fox releasing all three films in a set.

He also said that the master for at least The Abyss was already quite old, so it probably has to be redone all over again.
And to think we could've had The Abyss on Blu-Ray already. Too bad .

Like many other films from our past, "The Abyss" will need "latest technology" restoration with James Cameron's guidance to produce the best Blu Ray disc & it will definitely be worth the wait. A bright side to think about though is that the Blu Ray format is now thought about when movies are made & brought to home video. That means higher quality standards from the beginning which requires no restoration plans when Blu Ray discs are made.

According to Van Ling, Cameron will focus his attention now on three things: converting Titanic to 3D, and getting True Lies and The Abyss released on Blu-ray.
