Titanic to return

Titanic was a wonderful movie. Short of maybe Cameron re-doing the SFX in it with true 3D (nothing he can do about the live action stuff) I don't think I'm interested in this project.

Whereas I thought it was a middling film in much the same vein as Avatar and yet I'll probably go see it when it's released again. Go figure.
Still an unabashed fan of this film. It's a very Old Hollywood melodrama, but it's pulled off very well.
I'd be interested to see what Cameron would do to update it for 3D. Ordinarily I'd write it off as a money-grab (and it probably is, to some extent), but he's proven he understands the technology, so I'd consider seeing it.
Kate Winslet nude - in 3D!

Why would a movie that's mainly character drama and romance like Titanic need to be done in 3-D?
The sinking of the ship is certainly 3D-friendly. Beyond that, there's been plenty of talk about its application in drama; Hitchcock did a movie in 3D the first time it was big.
"Upconverting" 2D movies to 3D is certainly a bit dodgy, but if anyone can be trusted to do it justice, it's Jim Cameron; he wouldn't do a rush, half-assed job like Alice in Wonderland or Clash of the Titans.
That said, Avatar in 3D was long enough, and Titanic is even longer... I'd rather see a 3D T2, but maybe we'll get that someday also.

It's not as though a 1912 ocean liner is all that much less alien to today's world than Pandora's big-ass rainforest...
Interesting, on teh commentary...
People complain that Jack and Rose wouldn't have survived the suction (despite the fact that it was only the last part of the ship that was under them), Cameron said there wasn't much suction at all and they exagerrated it instead of minizing it. He added that, historically, the chef near them merely "stepped off" the boat as it went down and didn't even get his hair wet.

I'll be damned if they can't make Kate Winslet's scenes 3D 
There will be people reaching out with two hands and grabbing thin air.

That's correct. Also, it was reported that he was "plastered" and only suffered a cold as a result.
I was a Titanic buff for a decade before the film came out, so the chance to see it dramatized was pretty darn cool (imagine reading Trek novels for ten years before ever getting to see it), and I was happy that Cameron did what I'd consider a reasonable job of staying true to events as they most likely transpired. Happy enough that this was one of few movies where I actively encouraged friends to see it as well.
Unless there's major issues with the 3D conversion, I fully expect to see and enjoy it as well.

Aren't some of the sets (like the outdoor decks) extended using chroma key? Couldn't those be 3D-ified?
Maybe I'm a filthy old man, but the first thing I thought of was seeing the drawing scene in 3D.
It's a three hour movie, and the ship doesn't sink until the final hour. That's two hours which don't really need to be done in 3-D.
Personally, I didn't think an hour and a half of sight seeing around Pandora was particularly exciting. Besides, there must have been more than a few museum recreations of the Titanic done over the years to give those who care a "you are there" feel for it.
You know, I was 12 when Titanic came out, and that was the first time I'd seen a naked woman. I saw the movie as part of a class trip to the theatre. Going to school paid off that day.
The chef sounds awesome, Cameron should have made the whole movie about him.
Weirdly, I too was a buff for a long time before the movie came out, and that's why I could tell the film was an abomination, full of inaccuracies and distortions, character assassinations and downright slanders. Also the fact that it tied this truly magnificent human story to a dreadful piece of cliched and over-acted melodrama didn't help. The effects were quite good though. "A Night to Remember", now that's a movie...
