Movie’s Re-Release to Coincide With the Centennial of the Ship’s Sailing

HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 19,2011) -­? Paramount Pictures, Twentieth  Century Fox and Ligh tstorm Entertainment jointly announced today that James Cameron’s “TITANIC” will be re-­released worldwide on  April 6, 2012.

The release, which marks the 100th anniversary of the  Titanic setting sail (April 10th), will present the film in 3D for the first time ever. Written,d irected 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 launched the careers of stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate
Winslet.

Called “A spectacular demonstration of what modern technology can contribute to dramatic storytelling” by Variety upon its release in 1997, the long in the works 3D conversion is being overseen by Cameron and his Lightstorm producing partner Jon Landau who produced the hit movie. Said Cameron, “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.” “This  new presentation of Paramount’s top-­grossing film is particularly special because 2012 is the 100th anniversary of our studio. Paramount has had the pleasure of introducing audiences to some of the all-­time classics of cinema during that century of moviemaking and we cannot think of a better
way to mark the occasion than with this re-?release of ‘TITANIC’,” said Brad Grey,

Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures. Commented Fox Filmed  Entertainment Chairmen and CEOs, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman: “Our 30-­?plus year relationship with Jim Cameron and Lightstorm has been enormously rewarding, from ‘Aliens’  to ‘Avatar’, and the global phenomenon  of ‘TITANIC’ remains one of the greatest sources of pride in our history. We are  pleased to allow a new generation of audiences to experience the film in its brilliant digital restoration in 3D.”
