Titanic is actually a 1997 American epic romantic historical disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS TITANIC, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage.
A 2012 re-release also known as Titanic in 3D was created by re-mastering the original as 4K resolution and post-converting to 3D (3-dimensional)stereoscopic format. The Titanic 3D version took 60 weeks and $18 million to produce, including the 4K restoration.Digital 2D and in 2D IMAX versions were also struck from the new 4K master created in the process.The only scene entirely redone for the re-release was Rose's view of the night sky at sea, on the morning of April 15, 1912. The scene was replaced with an accurate view of the night-sky star pattern, including the Milky Way, adjusted for the location in the North Atlantic Ocean in April 1912. The change was prompted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who had criticized the scene for showing an unrealistic star pattern. He agreed to send film director Cameron a corrected view of the sky, which was the basis of the new scene.
