Topic: Titanic 3D - coming April 6th, 2012

James Cameron's movie, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, will be rereleased worldwide April 6, 2012.



Titanic is sailing back into cinemas around the world April 6, 2012.

James Cameron's movie is getting rereleased in 3D via Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment.The date was chosen to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the ship setting sail (April 10).

The 3D conversion is being overseen by Cameron -- who wrote, directed and produced the movie -- and his Lightstorm producing partner Jon Landau, who also produced.
"There's a whole generation that's never seen Titanic as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen," Cameron said. "And this will be Titanic as you've never seen it before, digitally remastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike."

Paramount chairman/CEO Brad Grey noted that the rerelease coincides with the 100th anniversary of the studio, while Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen/CEOs Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman added that Titanic is "one of the greatest sources of pride" in studio history.

Titanic -- which stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio -- is the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, behind Cameron's Avatar. The movie, which was nominated for a record 11 Oscars, was first released in 1997.

Will you be booking your seat for this re-mastered movie?

I'll give this one a miss. It's not one of my favourite films, and I always thought it was far too long.

I bet they WILL NOT show it in RCI's 'Allure of the Seas' 3D movie theatre!

It might make it on QM2 now they have 3D ability :-)

I avoided this film for years. But it made a huge star of Leonardo Di Caprio in Japan and we sold literally millions of books there so I have semi-fond memories of it. A bit too upsetting for my children I think so we'll be giving it a miss too.

HI I have never seen the 2D version of this film, I won't be in any hurry to see the 3D version. The 6th April seems a strange date for it's release. The 14th April (the date the ship struck the iceberg) or the 15th when she sank would seem more appropriate, it seems like the comapny is cashing on the 100th anniversary of this terrible event (it obviously didn't make enough money the first time around!)

Tried 3D and not very taken with it but the film its self was ok in 2D

Sky 3D - I agree with you, but then they chose the poor Active 3D system versus the much slicker Passive 3D used in Cinemas (RealD).

Also some movies are 'retro-fitted' into 3D and that adds little to the experience. Avatar at the cinema was amazing 3D (if an average storyline), also a U2 concert at the cinema in 3D was quite breathtaking.

I agree Grant, Avatar was quite brilliant. As an entire experience. I believe they are green-lighting the sequel.

You don't have to like the action or romantic bits of the movie, but the recreation of the Titanic and her interiors are amazing!
