Titanic was massive on every level, including the casting process. From Matthew McConaughey to Angelina Jolie, dozens of A-listers were considered. Who almost played Jack and Rose?
84 years later, a 100 year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic when young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Meanwhile, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson and his best friend Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets to the ship in a game. And she explains the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning.Written by

Brock tried to broadcast his finding of the "Heart of the Ocean" jewel live. When the safe was opened and the diamond necklace found to be missing, his colleague remarks, "The same thing happened to Geraldo Rivera, and his career never recovered", a reference to his one off show, The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults. Whilst Geraldo never worked in news reporting again, his career did recover but in a different direction, he reinvented himself with a successful career in tabloid entertainment, including his own talk show, The Geraldo Rivera Show.

Alternate Versions
The film's IMAX & Blu-ray 3D release presents the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on standard home video releases. For example, more of Rose's naked body is shown during her nude drawing scene, including her full behind when she drops the robe. During the final plunge, Jack and Rose are seen on the top of the railing, which wasn't visible in the theatrical scope version. This version also removes boom mics and other camera equipment that was originally noticeable in the original Super 35 negative because of James Cameron strapping black gaffe tape on the video monitors during filming. For example, in the scene when Cal yells at Rose during breakfast, a small shadow of a boom mic is visible. See more »
You can watch this movie in 1997, you can watch it again in 2004 or 2009 or you can watch it in 2015 or 2020, and this movie will get you EVERY TIME. Titanic has made itself FOREVER a timeless classic! I just saw it today (2015) and I was crying my eyeballs out JUST like the first time I saw it back in 1998. This is a movie that is SO touching, SO precise in the making of the boat, the acting and the storyline is BRILLIANT! And the preciseness of the ship makes it even more outstanding!
Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio definitely created a timeless classic that can be watched time and time again and will never get old. This movie will always continue to be a beautiful, painful & tragic movie. 10/10 stars for this masterpiece!
