You can find the full interview here. Not very long but some interesting titbits on various projects including a new Terminator (he reveals nothing).

    But the problem with Cameron is that he’s removing the grain almost completely, using AI to help do it and it’s making the films look worse.

    To be fair he’s using it at different levels, Titanic and The Abyss look the best but Aliens and Truth Lies look the worse.

      The replies to this post make me think most people haven’t seen the videos showing the hideous face distortions in the latter two.

        I haven’t and am not having luck finding them. Got a link by chance?

          Here’s a general one about Aliens. The problem with grain removal with the help of AI is that your also removing the fine detail on skin for example. People start to look waxy. Also, AI can fuck things up. Look at what it did to Hick’s face in the background of a scene!

          The comparison here is easier to see between the old and new copies of True Lies.

            Thanks! Things in motionsure can look a lot different than static images.

              It doesn’t. I hadn’t looked at any screen captures before watching the disc and it’s just as terrible and super distracting in motion. Thankfully only 3-4 scenes are marred by this. Oddly, it’s usually Tom Arnold’s face.

            Oh my god look at Arnold’s hair on that last one, it’s chiseled from pure bronze

            Hot damn that really does show the problems a lot better than the single image.
