It was a debate that had raged since 'Titanic' hit theaters 25 years ago: did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the board as they floated in the ocean. James Cameron maintains that the board would have only been big enough for one of them and Jack died valiantly, letting Rose live. Others argue that they could have at least tried to fit work it so both of them could have survived. But would it have actually worked? 'Mythbusters' to the rescue!
I remember skipping school with a wanna-be girlfriend and some other friends to see Titanic in 1997. It was pretty good...a little uncomfortable at the "paint me in this" scene and when I laughed at the end when she say's "I'll never let go Jack." and then she lets go and he dies. That was 15 years ago, and people are still bringing it up online.
The sinking of the infamous RMS Titanic in 1912 has gone down (no pun intended) as the most famous ocean liner disaster in history, thanks in part to popular culture’s take on the topic from the 1958 Roy Ward Baker film ‘A Night to Remember’ to James Cameron’s legendary blockbuster ‘Titanic.’ And yet the legend surrounding this infamous boat (and the 1,500-plus people it took down with it) has surpassed some of the actual events that transpired in the icy North Atlantic Ocean.
‘Titanic,’ the highest grossing film in movie history, is getting a 3D retrofit that is scheduled to hit theaters on April 6, 2012.
On Wednesday, director James Cameron introduced a trailer for this 3D update on the Titanic Facebook page. “I’m the king of the 3D world!”
