James Cameron may be 3D technology's most outspoken advocate, and that doesn't just go for films shot in 3D. He loves the added oomph of the device so much, he's toying with re-issuing some more of his classic films with a flashy post-convert 3D package.
/Film reports out of the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Film Festival that James Cameron is considering a re-release of Terminator 2: Judgment Day with some newly minted 3D additions. An audience member at Cameron's Q&A asked the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and innovator if he had any plans to retrofit his Terminator movies for 3D. To this Cameron offered that the original Terminator is too "gritty, but his sequel could be worthy:

That alone might justify the cost of a conversion, which might be 6 or 7 million dollars. And then a 3D re-release might attract some eyeballs in North American and Europe and then the Chinese release, which would be the first release on the big screen, might pay for it.
