Kate Winslet Titanic Drawing Scene

Released in 1997, Titanic was a huge blockbuster which won 11 Academy Awards an achievement none other movie could touch. The movie starts in 1997 and goes back in 1912 a few minutes before the gigantic ship started its first and the last journey. While the Titanic ship was all about its first journey and its sinking in the atlantic ocean, the movie had some value additions like the fantastic special effects that brought the entire incident before the eyes of the viewer in a manner no movie based on Titanic ever produced, thanks to the CGI technology that existed in 1997. Other value addition was the love story that revolved around the lead stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and did I forget to mention the Drawing scene where Leonardo draws a picture of Kate Winslet wearing the 'heart of the ocean (an invaluable necklace)', wearing 'Only' the 'heart of the ocean'!! Well that scene was one of the reasons people watched Titanic more than once and twice.

Now comes James Cameron's announcement for 3-D version of Titanic to be relased in April 2012 to coincide with 100th Anniversary of Titanic tragedy. What will be movie like? Well there will be the technology he used in filming Avatar in 3-D so you can imagine how exciting it would be to watch the entire CGI scenes in 3-D, the Ship, it's sinking and so on... So I am eagerly waiting waiting for the movie to materialze and release. In the meantime just think of it what the Kate Winslet Drawing scene would look like in 3-D? Guess!!!
