This is rather intriguing, not just to see Kate Winslet’s first screen test for the role of Rose in Titanic, but also to see who’s playing opposite her, suggesting Leo DiCaprio wasn’t the only possiblity to play Jack. Winslet sounds more American than she does in the final movie and it appears to be a slightly earlier version of the script, but her Jack here is Jeremy Sisto, who at the time was coming off his success in Clueless. How different things might have been for him if he’d played Jack in the final film. Titanic is now out on Blu-ray in both 2D and 3D.
