TITANIC 3D COMING IN 2012

After 13 years since its initial release, Titanic made more than $1.8 billion worldwide, a record it held for about 12 years until Avatar snatched it away with the premium 3D tickets. Coincidently, both movies were directed by James Cameron. Not coincident enough anyway, since Cameron is the maestro of money making that has created tonnes of success with his production company, Lightstorm Entertainment.


With James Cameron, I see money. With James Cameron too, I see a possible re-release of Titanic. The issue of Titanic re-released has been in discussion for years, and now it might finally happen in 2012. Cameron previously stated that Fox is targeting Spring 2012 for the Titanic 3D version to be released, timely to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the RMS Titanic first and final voyage across the Atlantic. It's now confirm and LA Times reported that the director is busy converting the blockbuster into 3D.

The RMS Titanic she set off on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, on April 10th 1912, and struck an iceberg and sank four days into the trip, on April 14th 1912. Judging from those historical dates, the movie will be released in the second week of April 2012, likely on Friday April 13th. It’s also possible that Fox will open the film on Tuesday, April 10th to mark the historical date, although a Friday release seems more likely.

Slash Film speculates the release date.
