James Cameron is sharing some surprising details from the making of his blockbuster hit “Titanic,” which celebrates 25 years of being released next month. In a new video interview with GQ, the iconic director revealed that he almost didn’t end up casting Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet – his two romantic leads whose careers as major Hollywood movie stars were cemented by the landmark Oscar-winning film.
After an initial “hysterical” meeting with the heartthrob actor, in which all the women in the production office somehow ended up in the conference room alongside Cameron, DiCaprio was invited back for a screen test with Winslet, who had already been cast at that point. But when the “Romeo + Juliet” star came in, he was surprised to learn he’d have to read lines and be filmed alongside Winslet to gauge their chemistry on camera.
What a big miss it would have been
Anytime watch anytime got fell
I did that on a cruise ship.
re watch time
Gwyneth Paltrow wouldve been a disaster.
It didn't matter who he picked. The story was melodrama aided by CGI and exposition disguised as dialogue
No one cares.
And where is kate? Very lovely movie.....i could literally remember all of its scenes....good actors
Maybe next time he can retake it with AI face changing technology
i think he should make another movie and cast others 🚶🏻🤷🏻♂️
And instead of the boat he was gonna use a rubber duckie. Jack and Rose were once Ernie and Bertha.
