StudioCanal has announced that James Cameron’s 1991 sci-fi action classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day will be returning to screens in the UK with a special 3D release beginning August 25th 2017 (that’s just four days before the 20th anniversary of Judgment Day).

The film has been converted into immersive 3D by Lightstorm, James Cameron’s production company, and the team behind the 3D conversion of Titanic. The original 35mm negative was scanned and then restored in 4k at Deluxe L.A., under the supervision of Geoff Burdick of Lightstorm. The film was calibrated in 4k by Skip, James Cameron’s colorist, at Technicolor Hollywood, with a selection of the best 35mm prints from the film’s first release. The film was then converted into 3D by Stereo D (Star Wars, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Jurassic World). This work lasted almost a year and was monitored daily by Lightstorm’s teams, to produce a high-end 3D version at the level of the latest 3D releases from U.S. Studios. The 3D version then benefited from a calibration and a specific finish at Technicolor Hollywood, still under the supervision of Skip and James Cameron himself.
