Who said the ship could only sink once?
Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment jointly announced today that James Cameron’s “Titanic” will be re-‐released worldwide on April 6, 2012.
The release, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail (April 10), will present the film in 3D for the first time ever.
Written, directed and produced by Cameron, “Titanic” is the second highest grossing movie of all time. It is one of only three films to have received a record 11 Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Director.
"There's a whole generation that's never seen ‘Titanic’ as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen," Cameron said. "And this will be ‘Titanic’ as you've never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike."
“This new presentation of Paramount’s top-grossing film is particularly special because 2012 is the 100th anniversary of our studio. Paramount has had the pleasure of introducing audiences to some of the all-time classics of cinema during that century of moviemaking and we cannot think of a better way to mark the occasion than with this re-release of ‘Titanic’,” said Brad Grey, chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures.
“Our 30-plus year relationship with Jim Cameron and Lightstorm has been enormously rewarding, from ‘Aliens’ to ‘Avatar’, and the global phenomenon of ‘Titanic’ remains one of the greatest sources of pride in our history," said Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairmen and CEOs, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman. "We are pleased to allow a new generation of audiences to experience the film in its brilliant digital restoration in 3D.”
Do we really need "Titanic" in 3D? No. Will Cameron make it looks as good as it could be? Almost certainly. More than any other director or producer out there, Cameron can make 3D work. Just look what he did with "Avatar," a visual treat nobody has come even close to since.
