James Cameron Wasn’t Kidding About Titanic 3D

Earlier this week, we heard rumblings coming out of Comic-Con about director James Cameron talking about bringing Titanic to the big screen in 3D. At that point, it was brushed off as an off-the-cuff comment. And really, why would they release Titanic in 3D?

The why appears to no longer be relevant, as Cameron talked to Empire and made a very serious gesture toward a Titanic 3D release. In fact, they’ve already started working on it, according to the director:

“We’re going to do Titanic in 3-D! We’ve already done a 90 second clip of it and it’s phenomenal and gorgeous, so that’s going to be the project for next year. It’s a conversion of it, not native photography; we can’t go back.”

When I brought this up on this past week’s episode of Reject Radio, I was laughed at. Well, take that Rob Hunter and Dr. Cole Abaius, looks like Cameron wasn’t just joking around. Cameron also mentioned that there was talk around brining Terminator 2 to the 3D medium, but nothing has evolved beyond early talks. Titanic 3D is very much in the works.

I suppose we should as why, but we all know the answer. Cameron has a movie that made $600 million domestically, the highest grossing film of all-time. There’s definitely a market for a re-release. Does that make it any less of a cash-grab? No. But it does make it a smart business move, one that will continue to fund Cameron’s ever-growing list of big-budget sci-fi ideas. So why not, let the fans of Jack and Rose cry 3D tears to an epic 3D love story.

Would you go see Titanic in 3D?

    So will they make Kate WInslets breasts seem more life like and stand out?
  • I still call bullshit.
  • will i see it? because its cameron, of course.

    ...i've been waiting to see it again on the big screen for 12 years... SO yes. I'm sure myself and other fans as well as a whole new teeny bopper generation, will see it many many times.
    3d only sweetens the deal
  • they only need to that scene where she drops the jewelry into the ocean
  • littlehype
    It will fill the Twilight girls shedule with something to do in between films...

    But will I see it, sure why not. Seeing people fall and slam and fly through the air was crazy to watch in 2D. The ship coming apart and folks flipping through the air... the guy that falls back and then hits the large propeller and then flips more... to see that in 3D.

    Also if it helps fund the next Cameron project after AVATAR why not?
