You don’t have to watch the whole thing — just 2:15 to 5:48. Three and a half minutes.
As a People reporter I heard a few stories about the Titanic shoot at Fox Baja Studios in ’96 and early ’97. One was James Cameron allegedly having referred to Kate Winslet as Kate Weighs-a-Lot. Another alluded to Leonardo DiCaprio‘s off-set, party-animal lifestyle, which allegedly led to an instance of Leo complaining of nausea. In no mood for this, Cameron allegedly picked up a metal bucket, threw it in Leo’s direction and told him to get sick in it, and once finished to get back on the effing set and do his job. Who knows if it’s true?
If I were Cameron I would think seriously about doing a George Lucas and re-doing the Titanic digital stuff. Make it look more realistic. Because by today’s standards some of it looks way too primitive.
