The big add was the dream Sarah has about Kyle Reese.

There’s a great site about which edition the director prefers with different editions.

Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot that one!

Yeah I prefer everything from the T2 extended cut except for the alternate ending scene with the old Sarah Connor.

The VO narration was so much better and it leaves things open ended.

Hope complicated doesn't mean confusing.

Hope complicated doesn't mean confusing.

From what the article describes, I think they're referring more to the action sequences and such.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Complicated in terms of the technical.

Just the amount of data they captured... Underwater performance capture with 15 cameras. 2 cams on every actor’s face capture. Underwater reference capture for fully CG creatures. Oh yeah and infrared depth capture to place CG characters in the live action footage.”

No one else can compete on technicals. This man loves his craft.

I pretty much haven't seen a Cameron film I haven't liked, so all this sounds great.

I think the Kyle Reese dream came super close to making it into the theatrical cut and they cut it at the last minute. I remember getting a book on T2 back then that had a bunch details and photos of the production and it talked about that scene as if it was still in the movie. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who read it back then and was like, “Wait… when did this happen? Did I forget?”

 

[titansupes]

I agree with Cameron that the theatrical cut of T2 is stronger. Been such a long time since I've seen either version, but I do recall feeling the added stuff bloats it last time.

I do like the bits and pieces of the T-1000 malfunctioning toward the end, but it doesn't lessen the threat slightly.

Oh hell yes. Eagerly waiting.

Granted, I think McFarlane’s stuff is usually a little more geared to the adult collector, but it’s bizarre to think how many kids who’ll want these toys weren’t even alive when the last one was out.

 

[Drizzle]

Those look great. I'm a little surprised that a more adult-oriented company like McFarlane is doing the toys but then again I don't think Mattel's line for the first movie was a huge success which may have been why they sat this one out. Also I feel like with the exception of Jurassic World stuff, more adult collectors than kids are buying action figures these days but I digress.

I thought James Cameron wasn't directing past 3?

I thought James Cameron wasn't directing past 3?

He said he wasn't entirely sure if he would stop at 3, 4 or if he would make all five films.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well good they already started filming 4. No need to wait for the boX office receipts of 2 and 3.
