#Titanic #JamesCameron #WTFHappenedToThisMovie
It was insane how the film went both over budget and schedule, everyone thought it would fail, but the film got acclaimed, became the highest grossing film of all time for 12 years, and won Oscars including Best Picture
ALL the Oscars.
Yes..I did...fall because of gravity...
Oh wow...was this mentioned in the video? I don’t know how they missed that part
I mean if they both exceed budget and took longer than planned obviously it should logically be better than planned since it took more work but I see the other side. People are just so negative in predictions
Yes lol but mainly because for some stupid reason, it became a competition of who can go watch titanic the most amount of times. So stupid
_Titanic_ is easily dismissed today but it's a minor miracle of a film - so easily could've been a screaming disaster. That Cameron successfully captured those indescribable, mythic elements that made the sinking so fascinating is a miracle in itself.
And the film paid huge respect to those that perished, so easily could have this film become a sham in the wrong hands.
its become so popular for the romance that its easy to forget the epic scope and attention to detaila and even the ship its based around. you might even say its overshadowed the real thing, some people today think Titanic was just a movie
What do you mean "easily dismissed"? By whom and why?
CzechMirco Probably meaning that it’s become so popular, it’s kind of cool to hate it
@@FalconsEye58094 Maybe you are right. Which means it doesn't say anything about the movie itself, only about what people think of other people.
Going into this movie back in 2017, I initially “I’m not a fan of romance movies. I think this will be just an overlong melodramatic historic movie.” But then I watched it and when the credits rolled, I was taken aback by how amazing the film really was. I watched it with my mum and she was sobbing when Jack died. So was I admittedly.
After that, I became so fascinated by the wreck and history of the Titanic.
I shouldn't like this movie... But I do! It's epic in a way endgame will never be
Haters need to hear this
@@mediaisthevirus7275 that’s probably because there are different ways for a film to be epic you really don’t have to bring down other films to compliment a film
While there’s romance, it’s not really a romance story. It’s a tragic story bout what it took for one woman to gain her freedom while over a thousand others lost their lives. I wish that movies (and books) weren’t effectively ”demoted” just for having any romance elements.
"Of course they couldn't build it to scale; that would be expensive and irresponsible. So instead they scaled it down. To ninety percent."
Oh James Cameron. . .
What materials did he use ?
LOL
@@randomhuman97
Boat materials, I would imagine. . .
@@randomhuman97 ones that are impervious to everything except ice
To be fair, that and building only one side likely cut the cost right in half. And it's just enough to not even be noticeable.
The utmost sad thing is this movie would be made completely in CGI these days and no dedication to the craft of real movie making would be seen. It would be an animated movie practically, like Marvel. Which is fine for superhero movies but not an intense drama like this!
Its impossible to make this movie today. This seems to have been the most insane production of any movie ever.
I remember the week this movie came out, my son had just been born. I also remember the media said that Cameron would never work a day in Hollywood again because he went so over budget. I was so freaked out by this smear of Cameron‘s character, I went and saw the movie four times opening week. That’s right, I watch 13 hours of this movie the week that it opened, and another four times before the movie left theaters. I wanted my ticket sales to add to the movies financial success.
I even remember hearing, that James Cameron had to mortgage his house and assets, I heard that he even signed a contract saying that he wouldn’t take any money until the studio made back it’s money. Now that’s dedication Folks.
Cameron's one of my fav. Can't believe he's directed only 7films
@@randomhuman97 Make that 9...sort of. For "Galaxy Of Terror" he was one of the production designers as well as an assistant director. According to comments from several cast members, James took over full directing duites on more than one occasion. For "Piranha 2", it's rumored that James directed less than half of the movie. Actor Ricky ( Paull ) Goldin has since debunked that as a false rumor.
Someone told me she and her high school friends saw this movie 6 times in theaters, I wonder how much of Titanic's earnings were from repeat viewings.
That is insane.
your son was born and instead of taking care and bonding with your baby in his first week of life on this planet you went out to see titanic four times??? get your fucking priorities right.
I watched this movie in theaters as a kid and it is still one of the most memorable movie experiences I've had to this day.
I feel no matter how cheesy or dramatized this film is, Its fucking amazing what he pulled off in the 90’s with this film.
He made a near life size, almost fully identical models of the ship.
He did a very good job showing us what life would have been like onboard the Titanic.
Gave us a very very iconic soundtrack..Every actor was perfect for the role...
And so much more.
Its one of the greatest movies of all time without any doubt. Its a master piece of film making.
Nobody watches die hard or John wick for its artistic endeavours or for the morally grey multi dimensionally and psychologically intriguing characters with every scene posing as a metaphor for life and society as a whole.
NO. YOU SEE FOR THE KILL SHOTS, THE ONE LINERS AND ASSKICKING.
TITANIC IS A FILM MAKING MASTERPIECE NO MATTER HOW DRAMATIC THE STORY GETS.
IT'S FILM MAKING NOT STOEYTELLING
My mom loved this movie she went to the movie theaters multiple times to see it she even bought the soundtrack. Which is basically 5 and 1/2 hours of music to sink a boat to.
Everyone went to see this movie multiple times. For some stupid reason.
"James Cameron was finally beaten at the box office... by James Cameron". Epic lol.
If we factor inflation gone with the wind retains the crown.
@@spearfisherman308 nobody cares about gone with the wind. We care about a conservative James Cameron.
@@jameslincoln92 what
James Cameron is conservative?
If only Avengers Endgame held on
I thought that these film was cheesy Romeo and Juliet style tragic love story.
I watched it and it was something else. Jack represents the people who we're lost in this tragedy
Rose represents the survivors who had to move on while carrying the memories of those who died.
I actually cried but not for the love story but for the people like Mr. Andrews and the people in the third class
who were simply hoping for a better life somewhere else.
Yep. As Cameron said: Titanic was a story of death & seperation. It was his artistic and creative choice. Hence, why Jack had to die. And it was Rose to carry on. No matter their lovestory.
TITANIC came out a couple weeks before my son was born. This was the first movie he and I watched together, so it holds a special place in my heart.
You took a new born child to a 3 hour movie? You are the problem.
@@jamesbizs He stayed quiet the whole time. Never cried once. In fact, the people sitting next to me said they had forgotten he was there until the house lights came back up. He was a dang near perfect baby--until he hit the Terrible Threes. But that is another story.
What's more impressive is that James Cameron never had to go to film school
Why would anyone? Grab a cam and let you do You 😊🙏🏼💯
neither did Spielberg.
@@RoverIAC
Nor Tarantino.
@@KeKKi Not everyone is able to be self taught.
@@CornishCreamtea07 How come?
I remember when it came out. I had to wait a couple months to see it, because of the huge crowds, and even those months later the theater was packed. At the time it was the movie that made everyone cry. And my sister was one of the preteens who were in love with Leonardo. Some years later there was a backlash against the film by critics; however, many of them had given it positive reviews when it came out. My theory was that they were embarrassed at how emotional the film had made them :p.
Yup, the movie that made men cry. Even as I was watching Titanic as a young teenager in 2004 or so, whilst my dad had seen it a couple years earlier on TV in either 1998-99, it still brought him to tears, like me as well. Even though he knew how it was gonna end.
Titanic: *Is the highest grossing movie ever*
James Cameron in 2010: Fine, I’ll do it myself
"That really sucks, lady!" - I feel the ending really needed that line (funny to think, it would also sound like gibberish to the ear of a 1912 person)
Actually people spoke pretty much the same back then, we just stupidly think they didn't.
Glad they didn't chose that as the ending because it's kind of out of place. Like the movie's theme is serious and then in the end there was a funny scene. Im glad the ending was what we saw in theaters. It's the perfect ending ever.
I love this movie. It’s one of my favorites. I even plan to watch it on the 109th anniversary of the sinking on April 14 (I watched it on the 108th anniversary last year). Say what you want about it, I think it’s one of Cameron’s best.
When this film was released it also caused a massive avalanche of new interest in the ship, plus all the in-depth research generated by the production then made its way into the public sphere, leading to a surge in new factual books and documentaries suddenly appearing over the years afterwards. I was really into the Titanic as a kid and it was seen as a bit a bit quirky and , but then Titanic came out and for years after rarely a month went by when someone wasn't telling me something about the ship that they'd learnt or asking me a question about it. And that momentum hasn't eased up really since then, pretty amazing! Really enjoyed this review as well!
Yup. A renewed interest in Titanic II was generated as well. Literally. Building a modern version of the Titanic.
When the credits came up on opening night I knew it would be a huge hit - partly by the group of teenage girls seated near me who had to “talk down” one of their friends who was crying uncontrollably about the death of Jack.
Did we go to the same session at Hoyts Chadstone????
Cuz the teenage girls sitting behind me screamed "OH NO LEO'S DEAD!!!! HE'S GONE!!!"..... THEY SAID WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!
Me and my friend went down to Hoyts Chadstone to watch a movie, and this one had just opened and had plenty of tickets on sale, so we thought "what the hell it looks good".... Three weeks later every session was sold out!!!!
Walked out and said to my friend, "Dude we just watched a goddamn masterpiece! That's probably going to equal the Oscars record of 11 wins by Ben-Hur(my favourite ever movie!)!"
No mine was in Trumbull Connecticut - guess this was a common reaction.
@@johnwatson3948 Lol, well we saw it on the same day, since it released in Australia on the same day as in the US. Lol!
That's great - did not know that
WTF Happened to TITANIC?
-It sunk... that’s WTF Happened to Titanic.
One of THE BEST movies in cinematic history! Titanic will always be my #1 favorite film! It’s so perfect in every way ♥️
I do wish Cameron hadn’t slandered Murdoch though, something he realized he did wrong later on as well.
Titanic is one of the best movies of all time. But not the best.
The # 1 spot will always be reserved for six films straight outta new zealand.
#2 is star wars
One of my favourite films, a timeless classic!
Great retrospective! It was fascinating to me that it was 90% scale on the outside yet larger on the inside to account for taller/bigger people.

That scene at the end of this video... Perfect. How must it have felt for those people looking for survivors? So many dead people floating around. So many people died in that disaster. What those picking up survivors must have seen... Simply horrible.
Other than Jack's death making me bawl my eyes out the other scene that broke me was during that search and rescue when you see the mother and her baby frozen to death.😭
@@Traumaqueenamy
Yeah, so many heartbreaking scenes in this movie. Like the older couple lying together on the bed as the ship was filling with water (yes, I know they were based on a real couple, which only made the scene even more heartbreaking).
I watched this movie four times while it was in the theater. Bawled my eyes out every time.
@@Elora445 Same here. Saw it four times during its original run.
James is a BEAST of filmmaking no doubt, but I'm unsure if I'd want the opportunity to work with him given his film reputation as a director lol
If you are serious about the craft then you will be fine. He doesn't like "Hollywood" personalities on his set. You are there to work. Look at all the repeat actors in his films. That's all that needs to be said.
Just curious....does anyone else go thro phases just watching the same movie night after night basically just listening to them to help sleep??? Lately I have been watching Happy Gilmore for the past month or so, but last year I watched Titanic every night for a unhealthy amount of time
Anyway sorry for the wierd comment 🚢🚢🚢
Never apologise! You crazy little oddball you 😁. I do the exact same, it’s currently Red Dwarf for me.
Wayne's world for me.
I read that it’s actually some kind of psychological trauma response. Something about watching what you’re familiar with takes you to a safe space. You’re fully aware of the narrative/ what to expect and how it ends. A bit like a comfort blanket ☺️ Gives you a sense of knowing and control, I go through similar phases in times of stress ☺️🌼 totally normal 😅
I did this with the fellowship of the ring and spiderman in the early 2000s
All of the Jurassic Park/World movies for me.
People talked about how Jack and Rose story makes the Titanic story more predictable, romantic, or probably symbolic, yet no one talked about the chef who literally survived the sinking Titanic all thanks to the booze he drank to keep him warm. His name is Charles Joughin.
Hooray! for alcohol.
alcohol doesn't keep the body warm. It provides a warm feeling but your core temperature plummets faster. He was simply lucky.
Drinking alcohol is probably one of the worst things you can do to keep warm.
Drinking gets you excited initially, so higher metabolism= warmth. . . But, when you inevitably get drunk, you go cold and depressed . .
what that literally kept him alive? I've only heard it makes you feel warmer but your body temperature doesn't actually change, weird that he survived lol probably just luck
Perfect movies: Jurassic Park, Matrix, Alien, T2, Titanic
Whats your opinion on 1917?
You forgot Goodfellas
@@GR1MRACER really enjoyed it. Not perfect. Some of the acting tad wooden, and because its just an adrenaline ride there wasn't much room for character development.
@@martinarreola64 yeah you might be right. Only difference for me is no matter how long the movies are above I will always watch it if it comes on tv. Goodfellas is long and feels long. Still a masterpiece thou
You forgot The Crow
This is diffinitely my favorite of all time! The movie, the characters, the actors, the special effects, the OST, the singer...all compliment with each other!!!
That use of Murdoch's death in reverse to illustrate Cameron's threats was perfection!
I was obsessed with this movie and Titanic in General for many years during my early teens.
My parents and I went to see this movie opening night, before anyone knew what happened to Jack. I was disappointed at first when the movie was present day since I thought it was a historical film. Then it went back to 1912 and I was happy. Then Jack died and I was in shock and started crying my eyes out.
I have fond, vivid memories of when Titanic mania was sweeping the nation. I mean it was massive pop culture phenomenon.
I must've seen the film about eight times in the theaters to where I kept seeing the same trailers and the prints were literally falling apart.
It's a great film that still holds up after all these years.
I’m getting the impression that effective directorship also involves pushing back against the studio.
I miss Bill Paxton , RIP 💕
I liked a lot of things about the original ending - a lot of things Rose tells the crew, and their reactions to the diamond. But the tone of the scene felt like it came out of a Die Hard movie, not the movie that preceded it.
His name is James, James Cameron
The bravest pioneer
No budget too steep, no sea too deep
Who's that?
It's him, James Cameron
Do you hear the song on the surface? "Yes, James, we hear it."
Cameron's one of my fav. . . Can't believe he's directed only 7 movies till date. . .
😂😂 "The script says Jack died"
I bet they shot that weird other ending, when they were high on PCP.
"That really sucks lady!"
I was 12 when Titanic came out. Even at that age I knew it was something special. So it became the first movie I ever went to see in theaters twice. The Dark Knight was the only other one I did that with
The music was and still is simply amazing by James Horner. He carries you right into the movie.
Watched this last year during the second lockdown after having not seen it since 1998. A nostalgia fest for me this one. But I miss the Cameron of old, True Lies is IMO the last fun film he made.
He made only 2 movies after and only 7 films total . . . Both 2 billion dollar explosions. . .

Say what you want about James Cameron, but a little known fact is that he went to such great lengths to make Titanic as authentic as possible that there were actually more lives lost during the filming than there were on the actual ship 😁.
I was forced by my family to go see this, I did enjoy it but it would be years later when I started really liking it.
"The movie industry is not only alive and well, but bigger than ever"-James Cameron
The videogame industry: "That's cute 😂"
The entertainment industry summerized annually:
Movie industry: 42 billon in revenue.
Music industry: 16 Billion in revenue.
Sport industry: 90 billion in revenue.
Video game industry: 138 billion in revenue, from 15-20 billion since late 90s (the last golden age of the entertainment industry). It's not even a competition anymore. The pompous attitude of these Hollywood and Grammy people need to come back to reality. Hell, even their actors/actresses etc are fleeing towards the gaming industry for bigger paycheck doing a little voiceover. So much for "well being".
@@outlawfly664 this data source?
@@randomhuman97 Yep
Sadly it's as big as it is for scummy business practises.
@@CornishCreamtea07 I agree, the corruption is very big in the gaming industry. But to be frank hollywood is the same, many directors abuse people aswell, and trying to exploit it's consumers for little work they put to maximize the profit, not to mention catering to certain political minority group due to the present climate. Here's a marvel actor spilling out little beens about the industry today: ruclips.net/video/oj8JK6c5x3M/видео.html
good video. I remember reading a LOT of stuff about the movie like this video goes over, because I was looking forward to seeing it.
Being a proper fan of Cameron's, I couldn't believe that after True Lies he was going to make Titanic, and not a new cool hardcore sci-fi epic or something. And casting pretty boy du jour DiCaprio *and* enlisting Celine f-ing Dion for the titlesong?! Oh, how I hated him for it, and for years I avoided seeing it. Then after a while (we're firmly into the DVD era now) I decided to complete my Cameron collection and finally give it a shot. Of course I was sold. It was the first and last time I doubted James Cameron. Sure, the Avatar sequels are taking their sweet time, but I'm still pretty convinced they're gonna be amazing.
Interesting call to cover this movie. Good call. Now, you must do WTF Happened To Avatar, Avengers Endgame, Slumdog Millionaire, 12 Years A Slave, Apocalypse Now, Schindler's List, Captain America: Civil War, Part 2 of Justice League, The English Patient, Braveheart, Birdman or (The Unexplained Virtue of Ignorance), The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, The Artist, No Country For Old Men, Saving Private Ryan, and Ready Player One.
A night to remember is still the best Titanic film.

@@111highghthat doesn’t make someone smart, it makes them old.
That movie has permanent residence on my HD, and my NAS. Unforgettable scenes in that film.
I am not old i just know a great film when I see one.
@@jim1174 the acting is very stiff tho. Andrews and the crew didn't seem to care too much that the ship was sinking. They acted too calm and non-chalant about it
I want your editor to know I watched till the end and I appreciated that final clip.
Damn, 1997... I thought this came out in 1999... I already loved the story of the Titanic, this movie fueled my obsession. Mostly because it introduced people I didn't know of from the story. I didn't much care for the story of Jack and Rose as much as I did the others like Molly Brown, etc.
Older now, looking back on the movie, the only parts I like really is ending. Amazing work with the sinking and having the crew return to search. It still pulls at my heartstrings and I get misty eyed.
Wonder if James Cameron got himself a seat on the "new" Titanic that's supposed to be retracing the route the Titanic took and have the same luxuries - just... modern safety precautions for obvious reasons.
Great video, great details, bravo
Thank you very much!
Yep, the script said he died. Debate ends. Ha! Great video, as always!
It is still a fantastic film. I went to see the IMAX rerelease in 2012 in Northern Ireland after I went to the Titanic Museum. It was a spectacle to behold. It was fantastic to see what survived from the ship and all the production material that James Cameron himself donated to the museum. On the behalf of myself and my people, you are welcome for this film.
There's no IMAX in NI.
Edit: there is an actual imax screen at the odyssey but it's been out of use since long before 2012.
@@journeyman1218 Ah.

Actually, Titanic initially made 1.8 billion dollars world wide. It was 3D release that pushed it to 2.1 billion.

Just because you want it to be the other way around, doesn't change the FACTS.
“It’s journey to the most successful film ever was slow sailing” - I see what you did there.
This movie got multiple generations deeply fascinated with Titanic
Literally James Cameron finding out the sinking theory in the movie was wrong: Well, can't reshoot it.
It’s cool seeing how much detail they put into the set and costumes, nowadays that would all just be CGI and Green Screens. It does make a big difference.
My birth city, Prince Rupert BC, was to be a rival port to Vancouver. Huge all-year harbour, a day's shipping closer to Asia ... then founder Charles Hays died on Titanic. 109 years later, Rupert has 12,000 people.
14:53 _"notorious buzzkill"_ 🤣🤣🤣
James Cameron is a self described perfectionist. He won’t accept anything less.
Wait a minute hold on laced there lobster with PCP
That deserves its very own WTF out loud 🤯
Seconds please!
I love most of Cameron's films. Many fill in my top whatever lists. Iconic.
Not a big Titanic fan; but it is an excellent movie. I think everyone should see it even if it's not something you are likely to love. It's a piece of art.
Avatar is terrible though...and I really hoped the sequels would stay stuck in development hell forever. The whole world building of this franchise is terrible. It's a spectacle...but extremely forgettable. And the bits that are memorable...are pure cringe. Not even "so bad it's good". It's just hours of shifting between boring and cringey.
Even if they turn out to be good, I have so little interest in that universe that I likely still won't watch them.
And it should be something right up my alley.
I feel the same way about Avatar sure does suck my girlfriend loves both of those movies probably going to have to watch them soon and not looking forward to it
ROFL! "I will never work with Cameron again!..... unless uhhh... the money is just right". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This movie is truly outstanding.
Even though the film brought them great fame, both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are now embarrassed by their performances in this film. Winslet called her American accent "awful" and feels that her acting "could have been better", while DiCaprio called himself a "young punk" in this film.
During a particularly exhausting scene, requiring them to be submerged in freezing water for hours without respite, Kate Winslet whispered to Leonardo DiCaprio that it was her 21st birthday. DiCaprio playfully replied: "Sweetie, I don't care."
After finding out that she had to be naked in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to break the ice, and when they first met, she flashed him.
(at around 2h 35 mins) In the scene where the water comes crashing into the Grand Staircase room, the film makers had only one shot at it because the entire set and furnishings were going to be destroyed.
(at around 1h 26 mins) The hands seen sketching Rose are not Leonardo DiCaprio's, but director James Cameron's. In post-production, Cameron, who is left-handed, mirror-imaged the sketching shots so the artist would appear to be right-handed, like DiCaprio.
great video! love the WTF series 👍
Great movie and yes, Rose let Jack die because it meant she could escape her life and live a new one.
Actually Jack committed suicide after realizing that Rose was just far to high maintenance.
@@stevedenis8292 🤣🤣🤣
The door- it’s all about buoyancy. Jack literally does try to climb on and it starts to flip the door and sink it.
I really feel like Jack's status in life has a lot to do with his decision to stay in the water
So much better of a film than I imagined. I cried about 10 times
even today i'm still waiting for Titanic 2 sequel with James directing the movie...
Can you imagine being out there floating in the ocean that day in 1912? All that cold and death around you. I'm so glad this film exists. And I am even more glad it didn't get fucked over like other 90s films. Helps when the director knows what he's doing.
If Jack had to die, why didn't they just make the door smaller?
You do know water displacement matters, right? He could have fit, yes, but the wall (it wasn’t a door, but a section of wall) would have been under the water, and they both would have frozen to death. Myth busters even covered this. A piece of wall the size of one person would have gone under the water too.
I saw this masterpiece on this day in 1997. Titanic is still the greatest movie-going experience of my life. It was even more spectacular in IMAX 3D. There has never been a better 3D conversion.
Personally I think the love story between Jack and Rose is just as universal and timeless as Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca or Rhett and Scarlett in Gone With The Wind. All three movies have what could be considered the greatest ending in film history.
RIP James Horner
90s Kate Winslet though damn 😍
Fun Fact: Celine Dion didn't even wanna record a song for Titanic. Her then-husband encouraged her to do it. She did it, but she didn't want to still. The soundtrack version of her song? It was the first and only she recorded. She never expected to win awards for it because, as she put it "I only half-assed it."
Good ol' Celine. Gotta love her.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time
I just had a little thought here. Ryan Gosling kind a looks like James Cameron. If they made a movie about James Cameron he could play him.
And yet, we see IN THE MOVIE that the door wouldn't hold both of them. Most people don't remember or just ignore that.
i think the other part missing here is that even if that door can hold them above water, that ice cold water would be coming in due to submerging killing them also. Id like to see a study of people hugging in cold water to see how much longer they'd survive.
but i love Cameron's remark - what's this nonsense? The script says he died. lol
I love this entire series!! Even if it's a movie I just HATE I still love hearing all this stuff. It's even better with movies I hate to be honest. Plus these stories hint at SOOOOOO much more stuff that's even......better....worse? If you watch it, you know which.
Thanks so much!

You know billtell I always get weird looks for hating FORREST GUMP, but I defend myself by mentioning this movie, because I know people who cant stand the sight of TITANIC, and it was another FORREST GUMP in terms of success , became a box office sensation, won best picture and makes many greatest movies ever made list, and is watched by millions of people every year, and is beloved by many all like Forrest Gump is and I know a good amount of people who can't stand it
I’m so sick of that argument because he did actually try to get on the door with her and it tipped over! It’s not like he didn’t try but when it tipped over he didn’t want to risk losing it and both of them dying so like a real
Man he died for her. Not to mention it was cold AF and time was short and their minds weren’t exactly clear
I saw it 3 times in theaters when I was in 5th grade and my sister wore the 2nd half vhs tape out. She really only rewatched the 2nd half...lol the days of vhs
The second half was the best part of the movie.
I'd rather watch this than Endgame... Any day....
I like the mcu... I loved infinity war... Just really didn't like endgame and it doesn't deserve to do better than titanic
Love this channel. Did watch the hours of behind the screens in the DVD release when I was a kid
Trivia: Rumour has it that Fox wanted Jennifer Aniston for Rose😒 It was also said that one of Cameron’s other choices for Rose was a then unknown Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard 2018) Doubt if this is true,
Also for Cal, Billy Zane’s character, it was said that Cameron originally wanted Hugh Grant for the role.
Crazy. . . Esp Keeley, a relative nobody .
Imagine how many unknowns missed out on big budget movies??
@@randomhuman97 I know, it sounds crazy. Even though the role belongs to Winslet, it would have been interesting to see Hawes in the role.
Got to admit, Cameron has vision and balls. Good for you dude, you see something and don't stop till you get it.
The idea wearing the lettering backwards was genius.
Love this channel.
The carpeting manufacturer turned out be a scam. Titanic’s First Class interiors were tiled in decorative linoleum. That was only discovered after the filming was completed.
I’ve never heard this and will have to research it now.
@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria It’s a common myth that Titanic was “richly carpeted.” In reality, the floors were almost entirely entirely finished in linoleum. It was considered both a groundbreaking new material and sanitary on ships.
@@giovannirastrelli9821 I know it was mostly linoleum. I hadn’t heard about the carpeter being a scammer, and can’t find anything about that. Do you have a source?
LMAO the great lobster lacing of 1996
I wish you would host the "WTF happened to *actor*" series, as well. Your a better narrator than that other guy.
U mean the guy who says coment in coment and born on day of birth
@@eddead4235 Yes.
And stuff like, "those tomatoes that are rotten," and "Holly-WEIRD."
Every episode. I'm telling you its the same every single time.
Alternate Titanic cast:
*Rose is hanging off the stern, preparing to jump
*Jack approaches from behind in order to save her
“Hey, hey, hey...”
Are you talking about the original with the casting of Fat Albert or ReRun?
You: whatever happened to the Titanic?
Me: It sank....
Edit: donggg.
Awesome! Loved when I got home with the Special edition that first time! Rewatching the movie then deleted scenes, alternative ending and behind the scenes footage!
Awesome movie. Still haven't seen it. :p I'm sure it'll look specatular in 4K. It's probably's Cameron's dream to work on the Avatar movies where he doesn't need to work as much with actors or stuntmen and can get the CG models to do what he wants. That being said, if the director has a solid vision in his head, cast and crew need to step it up. I wonder if overbearing directors will be going away with the more public knowledge of them. Will movies lose something as they bend toward being more relaxed and friendly or will they be better with people pitching in? All comes down to time and money, I think. Great video! Thanks!
