The Abyss & True Lies will arrive this year!

[Guydowood]

from thedigitalbits.com

In other news, Remember how we first revealed last year that Fox is preparing to release James Cameron's The Abyss and True Lies on Blu-ray? More confirmation has arrived in the Norwegian magazine Release.no's latest interview with Vincent Marcias from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (marketing), which indicates that both titles are expected to be released in 2011. By the way, the text also apparently indicates that the Star Wars Blu-rays will include "only the latest special edition" versions. Don't kill the messenger.

Will get the Abyss once it's $10, not interested in True Lies.

i'm pretty much in the same boat.

i watched The Abyss (whichever cut it was) about a year ago or so and i liked it, but don't think i'd be willing to spend over $12 on it. and as for True Lies, i gave it a 2.5/5 and unless i rent it and like it more the next time, or can get it for, let's say $5, that will be one i pass on as well.

although i'm sure The Abyss will look great and True Lies will sound great. dvd sounds like crap.

I've been waiting forever for decent releases of these two films. This is great news!

Hopefully The Abyss is the extended cut. It really fleshes out some of the characters and plots.

[KilloWertz]

I'd be interested in both. It's been a really long time since I've seen True Lies and I've never seen The Abyss.

Of course the Abyss will be the extended cut and, more likely, both cuts via seamless branching just like the DVD. There's not a chance in hell that Cameron would allow them to release just the theatrical cut

I can't wait for "True Lies"! I'm not a huge action buff, but I just love the combination of comedy, drama, and action. I love every one in this movie - especially J.L.C. and Eliza Dushku - I'll never forget seeing True Lies for the first time after watching Buffy and realizing that Faith was the little girl LOL.

Abyss, I'd pick up sub-$10 sometime...I only saw it once, would probably only watch it once or twice on Blu. But it's one I'd like to have in my library.

The Abyss is a great movie but not one I would rewatch too often. However True Lies is such a fun movie and truly deserves to been see on Blu-ray. I am a purist, but I would not hold it against Cameron if he were to fix the obvious stunt double in Schwarzenegger's scenes i.e. they did with Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Regardless the movie will be on my shelf, day 1.

I'm down for both. The Abyss is one of my favorite films and True Lies is always enjoyable, if a little slow to start.

I didn't see any obviously fake double in that movie,but weren't looking hard for it either.Hope you don't refer to the swimming under the burning water because there was a magazine article about that scene where Cameron said he never asked the actors to do things he wouldn't do.Not 100% sure of this,but 98

Which scenes were you refering to?

The action scene in the beginning when Arnold(his double) is being chased in the woods.

I'm not as selective at the selling price, because I really enjoy The Abyss..... but True Lies would have to be CHEAP for me to upgrade my DVD of it.

I second that opinion .

True Lies is a definite day one purchase, and The Abyss is too if it includes the extended version. I'm not sure if I'll buy it without the longer cut.

[bandit29]

True Lies!! Yes

The Abyss...maybe..I haven't seen it in awhile...

I would be shocked if both cuts are not included, especially if Cameron is involved in the making of these. Both are classics and both are Day 1 for me
