Academy Award-winning director and master storyteller James Cameron takes moviegoers back to his greatest inspiration – the wreck of the legendary Titanic. Titanic 3D: Ghosts of the Abyss returns to the world’s third largest screen at IMAX Melbourne Museum on 13 May 2010, to coincide with the new Melbourne Museum blockbuster exhibition Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition, opening on 14 May 2010.

Titanic 3D: Ghosts of the Abyss provided Cameron with a unique training ground to learn the sophisticated 3D filming techniques that he later applied to the highest grossing motion picture of all time, Avatar.

Cameron, along with his friend Bill Paxton and a team of the world’s foremost historic and marine experts, travelled on an unscripted adventure to the site in the North Atlantic where over 1,500 people lost their lives. Using state-of-the-art technology developed expressly for this expedition, Cameron and his crew are able to explore both inside and outside the wreck of the Titanic.

Thanks to the advanced 3D photography, moviegoers will experience the ship as if they are part of the dive team, travelling deep below the surface of the ocean and far inside the ghostly shipwreck.

Made especially for IMAX 3D theatres, Cameron and his team reveal the ship as it has not been seen since the sinking almost one hundred years ago, and explore why the legendary vessel continues to intrigue and fascinate the public.

Due to its unsurpassed popularity, James Cameron’s Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience, will be returning to IMAX Melbourne Museum for a strictly limited season, from 19 – 28 April, 2010. Tickets on sale now.

IMAX Melbourne Museum is part of the largest public museums organisation in Australia, Museum Victoria. Projecting a massive seven storey high image on the world’s third largest screen, IMAX Melbourne Museum delivers one of the world’s most immersive movie experiences.
