The Next ‘Terminator’ Will Be Released In 3-D
Things are coming full circle for James Cameron, who made 3-D the industry norm with the release of Avatar in 2009. The craze wouldn’t even last a decade as the scam has quietly gone back to novelty, mostly being used to amplify a film instead of jack up the ticket price. Thankfully, Cameron’s Avatar was one of a handful of movies that actually filmed in 3-D, as opposed to the muggy, disgusting, flat post-conversion that we were being sold on for way too long. Avatar looked fantastic, especially in RealD.
Speaking of, RealD France has already revealed that they’ll be supporting James Cameron’s now-filming Terminator when it arrives in theaters November 22, 2019. It’s a bit early for this announcement, although in-the-know fan site The Terminator Fans has been referring to the Tim Miller-directed sequel as Terminator 3D for quite some time now. It appears they were onto something. What we don’t know is, will Miller and Cameron actually film in 3-D or will they cop out and post-convert? I suspect the former, but we’ll wait until some official word comes out before we get excited.
As a surprise to some, this isn’t the first Terminator to see a 3-D release. Universal Studios once boasted an incredible attraction, T2-3D: Battle Across Time, a direct sequel to T2: Judgment Day that was both a 3 and 4-D experience. It was also the best sequel that featured astounding special effects and 3-D, not to mention the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Furlong.
Digressing, just last week Paramount Pictures shared with Bloody Disgusting the first official photo from the next film, including first looks at Natalia Reyes as “Dani Ramos,” Mackenzie Davis as “Grace”, and Linda Hamilton returning as “Sarah Connor”. It will also see the return of Schwarzenegger.
Miller and Cameron found their newest Terminator in Gabriel Luna, who appeared as Ghost Rider in ABC’s superhero series Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
