James Cameron's Titanic  chronicles the cinematic re-creation of the most legendary ocean disaster of all time as seen through the eyes of a master storyteller. Set against the ship's fateful maiden voyage, Cameron's much anticipated motion picture epic weaves a rich human tapestry of romance, heroism, tragedy and greed.

Within these pages is a detailed look at the monumental effort by thousands of artists and craftsmen to accurately re-create the "ship of dreams," including the full-size exterior replica of the ship and the 17-million-gallon tank facility designed to sink her; a wealth of detailed interior spaces; new discoveries from Cameron's 1995 dives to the wreck, some two-and-a-half miles below the ocean surface; studies of the ornate wardrobe, makeup and hairstyles that defined the look of the "Gilded Age"; an overview of the film's groundbreaking visual-effects work; and in-depth interviews with cast and crew, all referenced to the historic events of the Titanic's  maiden, and final, voyage.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

James Cameron's Titanic is a book conceived on the epic scale of the movie--not only do the massive page size and sky-high production values of the book do justice to the big ship, they give Kate Winslet's titanic hats an impact comparable to what the big screen gives them. It's also fun to get the effect of exploring a set as vast, complex, and fiscally and physically dangerous as the one Cameron created for Titanic the film. He is Hollywood's answer to Ahab, so he deserves a great big book.

Nor will fans be disappointed to hear Winslet break character--she plays an upper-class lass from the stuffiest circles--and explain how she helped her costar prepare for their first scene together, in which she stripped for her dishy portrait. "I was naked in front of Leo on the first day of shooting," says Winslet in the book. "She had no shame with it," says DiCaprio, who apparently despises shame. "She wanted to break the ice a little beforehand, so she flashed me. I wasn't prepared for that, so she had one up on me. I was pretty comfortable after that."

While the stars were getting acquainted and the wild-eyed director was figuring out historically unprecedented ways of blending live footage with computer imagery ("Cheat the size of the tugboats 10 percent smaller ... It will make the ship look even more majestic as it leaves Southampton!"), the core cast of 150 extras was taking a crash course in manners. Etiquette coach and choreographer Lynne Hockney even taught the Core (as they were called) that there was a proper way to laugh. "It was the Gilded Age, a time of the grand hostess, lavish parties and tireless pleasure-seeking," Hockney says in the book. "And each social class was scrambling to reach the one above it. This made proper behavior terribly important.... You cannot slouch in a corset, for example. You perch." One wishes there was a frame or two from the Hockney film running on a tape loop in the wardrobe building, Titanic Etiquette: A Time-Traveler's Guide. If it were available for sale, people would be buying it.

On the other hand, there's always the movie. Or this book. --Tim Appelo

About the Author

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.

Ed W. Marsh is an independent filmmaker and writer whose behind-the-scene credits include Independence Day, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Stargate, Godzilla, and The Abyss. A professed “titanophile,” Marsh began documenting this project months before principle photography began.

Douglas Kirkland has spent more than thirty years intimately documenting the lives and happenings of Hollywood in pictures. His award-winning coverage is unique for its “you are there” presence and provides a sensitive in-depth look at the cast, crew, costumes, sets, special effects, and more.

I finally got this book! It was not available for purchase for so long. I’ve wanted it since I was in 5th grade and my teacher had it in her classroom library, but it was so expensive so I knew never to ask my Mom for it and now I have it and I still love it. If you love the movie, you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely adore James Cameron's film - so I was happy to be able to find this book still available ...
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018

I purchased this book for both nostalgic and sentimental reasons. I had always wanted this book when I was younger & the movie came out, but I never got it. For years now I have had a very strong interest in: The Gilded Age, Titanic history and of course, I absolutely adore James Cameron's film - so I was happy to be able to find this book still available for purchase. The book is loaded with movie production notes and photos, it is really interesting to be taken behind the scenes and learn about the dialogue, set construction, set production, historical accuracy, costumes, character analysis, filming, etc. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is fan of the film or just wants to learn more about the behind the scenes. Nearly all the DVD/Blue-Ray releases of "Titanic" include some type of special features: what is great about this book is that it contains vivid photos and you get to read about the input of the director, producer, actors, & additional film staff.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book Tells The Story Of The Movie That Told The Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 1998
Verified Purchase
James Cameron has done every person interested in Titanic the Movie, a huge favor. This book gives you some idea of the massive undertaking that is this Movie. I have been interested in Titanic since I was 10 years old. I know a lot about the Titanic, but James Cameron has brought life to the passengers and crew of the doomed liner. Note in the one scene where Cameron has Jack "lift" a coat from a deck chair, while a small boy plays with a toy top, and his father looks on. This scene was taken from real life, as a photo was taken of this actual scene by a passenger who departed at either Queenstown, Ireland or Cherbourg, France. Cameron duplicated every item. Some are only seen for a fraction of a second, as witness the racks of china falling over as the ship begins it's final plunge. That china is absolutely correct and Cameron had it duplicated from the original maker. The boat davits were made by the makers of the original. Quality tells, and this book tells more... Cameron used the love story to tell the tragic story of hundreds of lives entertwined and ultimately, lost that fateful night 86 years ago April 14-15. It is a MUST READ.

I bought this for my daughter who loves the movie. It’s gotta be a reproduction or something because the pictures are really grainy. I can’t imagine it was originally published like that. It’s also showed up with a lot of shelf wear and some bent pages and a tear. Doesn’t feel very gift worthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una nave immortale. Un film immortale. Una passione titanica immortale! 12 POSTER TITANICI!!!
Reviewed in Italy on May 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
Questo che vedete è un poster book edito sempre dalla HarperPerennial nel 1998, ossia un libro in brossura contenente 12 grandi poster del film da attaccare o inquadrare dove volete! Sono pull-out, ossia sono staccabili. Si chiama poster book anche perché all'esterno sembra un libro, con i poster piegati che fungono quasi da pagine da sfogliare. Proprio come le bollette sono attaccati ad una sorta di striscia di carta "seghettata" che ne permette l'estrazione senza l'uso delle forbici!

Vi indico qui di seguito le scene in essi raffigurate in ordine di apparizione nel volume:

1 - La scena del volo.

2 - Jack e Fabrizio che corrono con sacco in spalla verso la nave.

3 - Il molo di Southampton, la nave in attesa di partire e la gente che la saluta.

4 - Jack e Fabrizio sulla prua, mentre il protagonista esclama a gran voce 'sono il Re del mondo!'

5 - Cal e Rose che osservano Jack a cena in prima classe. Il loro sguardo raffigurato in questo poster è quello serio che si vede mentre ascoltano Jack raccontare di sé in risposta a Ruth e tutti sono affascinati dalle sue parole tranne ovviamente Cal e la madre di Rose.

6 - Jack che bacia la mano di Rose in fondo alla Grande Scalinata.

7 - Rose e Jack che osservano il ritratto che lui le ha appena fatto.

8 - Jack e Rose che si baciano sulla prua.

9 - Jack che osserva Rose con il foglio tra le mani mentre la ritrae.

10 - Rose che tenta il suicidio (lo sguardo raffigurato nel poster è impietrito mentre guarda dinnanzi a sé).

11 - Rose distesa sopra i resti di una porta in mezzo all'oceano semi addormentata e Jack ormai morto.

12 - Il Titanic che viaggia con il tramonto come sfondo (è la scena che si vede mentre Rose anziana racconta che a Cherbourg salì una donna di nome Margareth Brown)

Non vi resta che acquistare questo prodotto e assicurarvi ovviamente di trovare una copia nuova o comunque usata che contenga tutti i poster dato che sono staccabili e quindi si presume che il fan precedente li abbia tappezzati sulla parete.

Ringrazio il venditore da cui l'ho comprato qui su Amazon it che mi ha fornito una copia ancora incelofanata!!!!! Quando acquisto qualcosa di usato o come nuovo in genere mando sempre prima una mail per avere info sulle condizioni dell'articolo. Il venditore è stato pronto e cortese e ha tolto via ogni mio dubbio!
