Rex Features
Speaking at last week's Comic-Con convention in San Diego, the director said that he was involved in the project to update the movie.
Cameron said: "We can't call it dimensionalisation, we have to call it conversion. That's the same thing, we're going to turn it into high quality 3D.
"It takes about a year to 18 months to do it depending on the complexity. We've been told somewhere around a year, maybe 14 months."
He continued: "We've tested it, seen a couple of minutes converted. It looks spectacular. But it really requires the filmmaker to be involved to make sure that the Stereo Space decisions are made correctly."
Speaking on the same panel, Peter Jackson said that he wants to similarly convert his Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but he suggested that Warner Brothers does not yet believe there are enough 3D screens to make the venture worthwhile.
Cameron added: "There'll be a lot more 3D screens when they know that the Lord Of The Rings films are going to be available in 3D."
