It’s also the 100th anniversary of the Titanic. I think they would have re-released it anyway, to capitalize on that. Now that 3D is so popular, of course they can use it to bring in even more $$.
The rap on Cameron is that he is demanding and won’t accept less than technical perfection. Titanic employed an army of experts to make sure every fork and spoon was correct. I have no doubt that this will be the best 2D to 3D conversion ever. I won’t see it of course, as I can’t see 3D.
You must run into things a lot. 
All I can say is, the 3D they showed in the trailers looked like the same low-quality 3D conversion you see in conversions made by non-perfectionist directors. I guess it’s possible they’re still working on it and it’ll look stunning when it hits the theaters, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
In 3D, they have even less of an excuse excuse for not seeing that iceberg in time…
You and James Wright both.
This the Director’s Special Edition Cut. In this one, the Titanic is just sitting there and the iceberg runs into it.
The strayed into Soviet Russian territory?
The problem with James Cameron is he’s an artist (literally - with a pencil and paints and all that. He did the sketch of naked Rose himself), and is able to do most things involved in a movie himself, and do them really well; everything short of the music score. So when he imagines a scene in his head, he knows precisely what’s involved to achieve it, and therefore doesn’t suffer fools or lazy approaches to getting his vision on screen.
You just can’t fudge things or pull the wool over his eyes, like you can with most other Directors, and therefore he comes across as demanding.

I don’t think it even played in the black theaters where I live.
In 3D???
It’s perfectly reasonable. My eyes are a lot better now, but with my lazy eye I used to have to rely on alternative cues like shading to get 3d. I didn’t really have any noticeable sort of stereoscopic vision, so 2D and 3D were more or less the same. Nowadays my eyes work together, but being unable to see 3D in any meaningful sense is possible.
That or WHOOSH on me.
You mean steerage?
From the visionary director of Piranha II
Hey, you know when people talk about “the thirties” to invoke an era of economic upheaval and Depression and the growing rumblings of war?
The 2030s are a lot closer.
Only way I’d see it is if this version had Skynet send a t-800 back in time to steer the ship away from the iceberg, so that Celine Dion never becomes famous.
Oh, wait, Supernatural already did that (without the Terminator connection anyway)
Cry me a river. 35 years since Star Wars
Yeah, but it feels like it. 80s and 70s movies seem like ages ago. But 90s movies seem like just a year or two back.
That scene wasn’t in the original script. But when Kate Winslet caught him doodling pictures of her naked, a claim that he was drawing it for a new scene was the best story he could come up with.
In this interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Steven Colbert (out of character) Mr. Tyson describes the night sky in the final scene of Titanic. He points out that it is wrong to Mr. Cameron himself. For a later edition of “Titanic” Mr. Tyson was consulted to provide an accurate sky.
