James Cameron‘s 1989 sci-fi film The Abyss is returning to the big screen this holiday season, and Cameron himself made the announcement on social media this morning.
“I’m excited to announce that the Special Edition of The Abyss, which we remastered in 4K, is going to be presented in theaters this December,” Cameron announces.
He continues in the official announcement video you’ll find below, “If you haven’t seen the film before, this is the way to experience it. And if you have, you’ll be seeing the film I actually set out to make. With some big surprises not seen in the original released version. I hope you’ll take advantage of seeing The Abyss, my first ocean film, back in theaters.”
The Abyss: Special Edition is playing only in theaters on December 6, 2023. We expect the 4K remaster will eventually be released at home, but no date has been provided.
In the film, which starred Ed Harris, “A civilian diving team is enlisted to search for a lost nuclear submarine and face danger while encountering an alien aquatic species.”
The Abyss was nominated for four Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The film pulled in $90 million at the worldwide box office back in 1989.
