I own the original release, but I'll most definetely buy this one as well! The four disk that is :)

[Sandstone]

Cant wait, i hope theres a really sick very expensive box set also

[SamEagle]

To further a mirror of the LOTR releases, maybe they'll also release a gift set that includes the 4-disc and a mini Titanic statue. Then, they could also do the mail-away for the companion piece of the Titanic in mid-sink, with her ass-end sticking straight out of the water! :D

[CyclicNightmare]

No announcement?

[ChemicalRomance]

It's about time. I don't like the movie enough to plunk down $ for the 4-disk but this has obviously been on heavy demand for some time.

HERE COMES THE MONEY.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA (March 15, 2005) - The sweeping romance and human drama of James Cameron's OSCAR-winning epic film TITANIC will be released worldwide as two new DVD editions this October, it was announced today by Cameron together with Paramount Home Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment International. The TITANIC DVD will be available as both a 2-disc special edition and 4-disc collector's edition, each filled with new bonus materials.

Beloved by film fans around the world, the new TITANIC DVD is a must-have for every home movie collection. The two-disc special edition will include a branching feature, enabling fans to view a wide selection of never-before-seen footage. The four-disc collector's edition will be the ultimate for film and DVD enthusiasts - containing numerous deleted scenes, new in-depth documentaries that explore the odyssey of the making of the film and much more. TITANIC will be presented in a brand new high definition transfer, 16x9 anamorphic edition, with 6.1 Dolby Digital Audio offering the highest level of picture and sound quality on DVD.

James Cameron commented: "The three year process of making TITANIC seemed at times as arduous as the building of the original ship itself. Until recently, I wasn't really ready to dive back into it all and re-live the conflicts, disappointments, tough choices and, ultimately, the film's crazy, unexpected success. This special edition is more than just the hour or so of unseen footage we're including.we're taking fans on an untold journey, one which could have ended just as disastrously as Titanic's maiden voyage, and often seemed as if it would."

"We're very excited about the definitive TITANIC DVD that is certain to fulfill fans insatiable desire for the film," said Rob Friedman, COO of Paramount Pictures and Vice Chairman of the Paramount Motion Picture Group. "The wealth of material that the collector's edition will have available is truly representative of the scope and depth of this movie phenomenon and we believe it will drive audiences everywhere to return to TITANIC."

"When TITANIC debuted in theaters, the film captured the attention of the world and has since become an unforgettable part of popular culture," Jim Gianopulos, Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, said. "It is a privilege to once again be working with James Cameron and our partners at Paramount to launch the next course of TITANIC'S journey."

Honored at the 70th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS in March 1998 with 11 OSCARS, including Best Picture and Best Director, the ever popular TITANIC remains the top grossing film at the worldwide box office.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, TITANIC struck an emotional chord with audiences worldwide who were drawn to the epic romance as well as its exquisite craftsmanship and grand scope. The film's now legendary box office - having spent more than 38 weeks in release, including 15 consecutive weekends at the top of the US box office - charted a course into industry record books with total receipts of more than $1.8 billion - ($600.8 million US/$1.2 billion internationally). TITANIC was also the best-selling VHS and the very first DVD ever to ship over a million units upon its release in 1999.

TITANIC, a Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox presentation of a Lightstorm Entertainment production, stars Leonardo DiCaprio and OSCAR-nominee Kate Winslet, who light up the screen as Jack and Rose, young lovers who find one another on the maiden voyage of the "unsinkable" R.M.S. Titanic. But when the doomed luxury liner collides with an iceberg in the frigid North Atlantic, their passionate love affair becomes a thrilling race for survival. Nothing on earth is going to come between them - not even something as unimaginable as the sinking of Titanic. The film also features Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, Gloria Stuart, David Warner, Victor Garber and Bill Paxton. Written and directed by James Cameron, the film is produced by Cameron and Jon Landau. Rae Sanchini is executive producer.

Paramount Home Entertainment is part of the operations of Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc.

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment International is an operating unit of Fox Filmed Entertainment, a News Corporation Company

I've been waiting for this ever since he said he was going to make an SE for laserdisc, and the soon-to-be available DVD format.

He never did.

Not that I like the movie, but Cameron is one of my favorite directors, and I'm all for the extras. I'll watch the movie one more time in its' longest form, then the commentaries... and the rest is for the extra goodies.
Plus, it's the only film of his that I don't own in either VHS or DVD. I'm still waiting for that SE of Piranha 2 to replace my tape! hehehe....

Oh, and make a better copy of True Lies some day, too, so I don't have to keep glancing sideways at my tape.
Yeah, do that, too, Mr. Cameron. Thanks!

[EvilEd]

Sounds like a fine set, I may get it.

[SkyNet]

the release date thanks to DigitalBits rumor mill is October 18, 2005

[Digifruitella]

Yeah, I know this is old news but I'm not sure if any of you read this article..

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa101.html#titanc

It's old though, so dont flame me. I just found out today it's ACTUALLY coming this year. Sounds good to me. I WILL be buying it, since I love the movie so much.

[Badbird]

Damn. I was so sure they'd wait until 2007 so it could be a 10th Aniversary thing.

Why the hell make two special editions? The movie's already out for people who just want that and don't care about special features. Obviously all the hardcore fans will get the 4 disc version, why bother with 2 discs?

[hllwdmkr92]

So...is the release date ACTUALLY October 18, or is that just a rumor? :confused:
