Are you ready for your heart to go on again? Well, it’s been announced that James Cameron’s Titanic will be re-released worldwide on April 6, 2012. The release comes just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s voyage (it set sail on April 10th, 1912 and sank early in the morning on April 15th). And as previously suggested, the re-release will present the film in 3D for the first time ever.
Written, directed and produced by Cameron, Titanic is the second highest grossing movie of all time. It is one of only three films to have received a record 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director; and helped launch the careers of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Cameron says, “There’s a whole generation that’s never seen Titanic as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen. And this will be Titanic as you’ve never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike.”
Although Titanic has had its detractors since its 1997 release, there’s still a huge amount of people who love it, and a decent 3D conversion could get people coming in droves. So prepare to put on your 3D specs next april.
