Launched in 1997,Titanicwas a big gamble for the producer with a cost of up to 200 million USD at that time. Recreating the most horrific disaster in maritime history, the sinking of the Titanic, on the big screen is not an easy task.
Like many of his other blockbusters, James Cameron used the most advanced technology and filmmaking methods at the time to bring the most epic images of the Titanic. He approached Harland and Wolff – the company that built the legendary ship that year – to use the original drawings that had long been lost. The film company bought a plot of land of more than 160,000m2 to build a new film studio dedicated toTitanic.James Cameron used a tank containing more than 64 million liters of water to build the modelTitaniccomplete. Some other parts of the ship were omitted or reduced to certain proportions to make large scenes.
