Tell some amazing facts about Movie Titanic ?

hi

For years, the cinematic blockbuster, Titanic, held the record for highest grossing film of all time.

There’s a reason for that: not only does the true-to-life story seem to naturally captivate our imagination, the more romantic and artistic elements which were added by James Cameron serve to elevate our emotional reaction and deepen the already tragic narrative.

To this day, the story of the Titanic’s maiden (and final) voyage, serves as a potent reminder of humanity’s occasional hubris.

the film serves as a reminder that we’re all suckers for a tragic love story (and a soundtrack from Celine).

When Jack is preparing to draw Rose, he says to her, “Over on the bed…the couch.” The line was scripted “Lie on that couch,” but Leonardo DiCaprio made an honest mistake and James Cameron liked it so much he kept it in.

Eager to get the role of Rose, Kate Winslet sent James Cameron daily notes from England. She also went to LA and kept phoning him until she got the part: “You don’t understand! I am Rose! I don’t know why you’re even seeing anyone else!”

The scenes set in 1912 (the whole movie except the present-day scenes and the opening and ending credits) have a total length of two hours and forty minutes, the exact time it took for Titanic to sink. Also, the collision with the iceberg reportedly lasted 37 seconds, which is how long the collision scene is in the movie.

When James Cameron was writing the movie, he intended for the main characters Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson to be entirely fictitious. It was only after the script was finished that he discovered that there had been a real “J. Dawson” who died aboard the Titanic.

This “J. Dawson” was trimmer Joseph Dawson, who had been born September 1888 in Dublin, Ireland.

His body was salvaged and buried at Fairview Lawn cemetery in Nova Scotia with many other Titanic victims. Today, his grave stone (#227) is the most widely visited in the cemetery.

James Cameron insisted on Leonardo DiCaprio but the studio actually wanted Matthew McConaughey. Jeremy Sisto also did a screen test with Kate Winslet, but they apparently didn't have much chemistry.

Approximately 120 tons of water (triple what had been initially planned) were released for Eric Braeden’s final scene

Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Jodie Foster, Cameron Diaz and Sharon Stone were all considered and even Gwyneth Paltrow was up for the role.

Braeden said that he has never been more terrified in his life than when he was preparing for it, as there was obviously no possible physical rehearsal.

Studios wanted Matthew McConaughey to play Jack, but James Cameron insisted on having Leonardo DiCaprio play the role.

In order to get the role, Winslet reportedly called Cameron telling him "I just have to do this, and you are really mad if you don't cast me." She later denied this, but admitted she sent him roses signed "From Your Rose" after auditioning. She went on to say: "A lot of my contemporaries — Uma Thurman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder — were much more likely candidates. I got lucky."

Gloria Stuart was the only person who worked on the film who was actually living in 1912 when the Titanic sunk.

Lindsay Lohan nearly had a part in the movie as Jack's "Best gal" Cora, but Cameron thought her red hair was too similar to Rose's.

On the final night of shooting, one or more pranksters mixed the dissociative hallucinogen PCP (angel dust) into the clam chowder served to the cast and crew. 80 people were taken ill, and more than 50 were hospitalized with hallucinations.

On the set of Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio's pet lizard was run over by a truck, but with some TLC, Leo nursed him back to life.

Robert De Niro was offered the role of Captain Smith. He turned it down as he had a gastrointestinal infection at the time.

Whoops…
