James Cameron's Titanic chronicles a master storyteller's cinematic re-creation of one of the most vividly remembered disasters of the modern era. Cameron's epic motion picture, winner of eleven Academy Awards, was an unforgettable triumph of filmmaking, weaving a rich human tapestry of romance and heroism, tragedy and greed, and, ultimately, the power of true love - a story that will continue to capture the hearts of audiences for generations to come. This collector's edition will include all the original content from the first book as well as a new and extended introduction by James Cameron. Additional new content will include: twenty-six newly designed pages with never-before-seen images from the film studio and from James Cameron's personal archive; behind-the-scenes stories from Cameron himself detailing the concept art and making of the original film; a revelatory look at the technical process of transforming original film into dynamic 3D prints; quotes from Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio discussing the film's impact on their personal development and their professional lives.

James Cameron’s attention to realism and detail is legendary. Celebrated for such uncompromising action-adventure films as The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, and Avatar, the writer-director actually vowed not to make Titanic unless he could successfully dive to the wreck himself and bring back motion picture footage for use in the film. Representing years of Cameron’s passion and dedication, Titanic is one of the filmmaker’s most ambitious films.
