The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Judge Death]

Which precisely is why it would make for a good followup movie with the right budget. Just enough that's familiar from Titanic, but with a different setting of WW1 and a different ship usage with it being a hospital ship and a different scenario for the sinking. And it apparently sank quicker than the Titanic too.

Is there enough sense of doom if the majority of people survive though?

I hadn't heard that it sank quicker. I know they stabilised things enough that they tried to head for the coast so they could beach the ship before it went down but moving at speed just sped up the water coming in

Yes, but what if one of the few people who did die, was a fake character added to the crew, like in Titanic?

Time time a woman, she dies.

Or maybe she doesn't, floats out to sea unnoticed, find Jack floating on a piece of the Titanic, shirtless, red, eating fish. He thawed out. They fall in love.

There is a rather nasty element, one of the lifeboats launched too early and everyone got minced by the propellers

It's during WW1. So I would say yes. That angle provides something unique enough that Titanic didn't have. Plus you have the Spanish Flu epidemic that was happening around the same time. Plenty of doom to go around.
