James Cameron's acclaimed 1989 sci-fi film "The Abyss" is set to receive a 4K remaster, aptly named "The Abyss: Special Edition," which will be screening in theaters for a single day on December 6. This event marks the first opportunity for the general audience to see the remastered version, following a previous showcase at Beyond Fest. Audiences can expect some "big surprises" not present in the original cut of the film. Tickets go on sale November 20, with details regarding a home release forthcoming.

"The Abyss," known for its groundbreaking effects and deep-sea adventure, ranks as one of Cameron's most ambitious projects, reflecting his deep fascination with the ocean, a theme also present in his later works like "Titanic" and "Avatar: The Way of the Water." The remaster provides fans with the chance to experience the director's true vision for the film in theaters. Stay tuned for more updates on this limited theatrical release and subsequent home editions.
