Disney has announced that it is going to be re-releasing six of James Cameron’s biggest box-office hits, including “The Abyss”, “True Lies”, “Aliens”, “Titanic’, “Avatar” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” on 4K UHD digital and 4K UHD Blu-ray disc.

The 4K transfer for each release will be presented in superb Dolby Vision HDR and with an immersive Atmos audio mix. Additionally, most of the releases will arrive with several hours of captivating all-new bonus features. From the eight hours of “Avatar: The Way of Water” bonus, including all-new deleted scenes to the five hours of new and legacy “Titanic” extras, fans will delight in the numerous hours of never-before-seen materials.

James Cameron said in a statement regarding the releases:

“There’s a world of emotions in revisiting these films and I hope we’ve captured some of that in the new bonus materials we created for our fans.”

Oscar-winning producer Jon Landau added:

“We really wanted to deliver the best possible experience at home so viewers could immerse themselves both in the films and the journeys we went through to make them.”
