James Cameron Says ‘Aliens’ 3D Re-Release Could Be Next
In addition to a 4K Ultra HD release on home video, James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day is also headed back into theaters as a special 3D re-release beginning on August 25 here in the States (it’ll be released in the UK on August 29).
If all goes well and Terminator 2 proves to be a moneymaker here in 2017, it may not be the only Cameron film that returns to theaters in 3D. During a Facebook live chat this week in promotion of the T2 re-release, Cameron hinted that Aliens *could* soon get the same treatment.

“We haven’t proven the business case yet so ask me again in a couple of weeks if T2 Judgement Day in 3D does well. I think the next title on my list, in terms of fan enthusiasm would probably have to be Aliens before I got to the other titles that you mentioned,” said Cameron, when asked if other films were going to be heading into a new dimension. “Aliens seems to really hold up in people’s minds and that would probably be my next one. But we’ve got to prove the business case here so people have to show up. So show up!”
If the T2 3D release makes a killing, you can expect that Aliens won’t be far behind.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
