    It’s not the full titanic experience without paying a bunch of money to die in the ocean

    It’s obvious in retrospect, but I never considered that the submersible in the Titanic movie was real and not just a prop. Of course they had to get that footage of the sunken ship somehow, might as well just film the sub in action while they’re at it too.

      the whole movie was an excuse for cameron to go to the titanic. however he went in a craft designed and tested for this purpose that wasnt a deathtrap.

      In an interview for Playboy, James Cameron stated, “I made ‘Titanic’ because I wanted to dive to the shipwreck, not because I particularly wanted to make the movie.” After realizing that diving to see the sunken Titanic was an actual possibility, Cameron began thinking up how he might be able to fund a trip down to the ocean floor to see the ghost ship for himself. “When I learned some other guys had dived to the Titanic to make an IMAX movie, I said, ‘I’ll make a Hollywood movie to pay for an expedition and do the same thing,’” he told Playboy.

    What’s up with the picture of the guy and the girl doing the movie pose? That’s fake right? I’m probably dumb as hell for not knowing.

      Male and female scuba diver reenact iconic scene from the movie Titanic while underwater, on the bow of the USS Kittiwake. -

      It seems that’s another vessel, not the Titanic.

      It’s stock photos on a decommissioned us destroyer, probably sunk to be an artificial reef . The image search is just “sunken ship” themes or whatever

      it’s not the titanic. The titanic is 4KM underwater. If you went that deep, you’d be crushed into a pancake.
