Titanic, a 1997 blockbuster film
directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate
Winslet, Gloria Stuart (older Rose) and Billy Zane: highest
grossing film ever, grossing $1,842,879,955 worldwide.
Cameron shot footage of the real
wreck of the RMS Titanic. He envisioned the love story as a
means to engage the audience with the real-life tragedy.
Shooting took place at the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh - which
aided Cameron in filming the real wreck – for the modern scenes,
and a reconstruction of the ship was built at Playas de Rosarito,
Baja California. Cameron also used scale models and
computer-generated imagery to recreate the sinking. Titanic
became at the time the most expensive film ever made, costing
approximately US$200 million with funding from Paramount
Pictures and 20th Century Fox. |
