If it gets built and the price is not too high, I'd like to take a cruise.
Titanic ever since I got my first titanic model as little fascinated me. Will he make the interior exactly as the original?? Markus

This announcement in the same day as he announces he'll run for Parliment: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politi...430-1xtpa.html

If I was him I'd certainly go with the improved design of the Olympic, she managed to stay afloat a while longer...
I like the idea, in case the guy really builds the ship, think of all the possibilities, for movies alone. Literally any film crew in the world could shoot there: Titanic 2,3,4,5, Titanic in Space, Titanic vs. Godzilla, etc. etc.. nah, not essential, the important question is: would Kate Winslet dye her hair red again and dance with me on the bow? |

That was my first thought as well.... "uhh, does he realize what happened to the last one?"

If he does the upper decks as per the original (dining room, the famous staircase) then he'll have a winner on his hands IMHO.
Hopefully this will go through |

And it'll still be cheaper than buying those series of magazine where you build a scale model of the Titanic over 50 years at xx per issue, two issues per week.

The article doesn't say anything about the scale, though mentions Cameron having built the film prop at 90%.
Imagine how much cheaper the film would have been if he had waited for the Aussie... As Miss Winslet is already smaller than me, I can live with 100%. Since high heels are a no-go on ships, our kissing scenes would look awkward if she wasonly 90%. |
