“I’m the king of the world!” are the words James Cameron will be screaming when he gets the box office receipts for the re-release of the mega-hit “Titanic”. Back in 1997, James Cameron delivered a technological wonder in effectively recreating the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic. At the time, it was the highest grossing movie of all time and the winner of 11 Academy Awards.

Since the release of “Avatar” in 2009, James Cameron has been perfecting the 3D technology and subsequently up-converting his masterpiece, “Titanic”. It has taken over 3 years to do this process with the approval and supervision of Cameron. Well, we now have a release date for the re-release, April 6th 2012 “Titanic 3D” will hit theaters worldwide.

I am pretty excited for this re-release. I don’t mind 3D, actually I enjoy it quite a bit. I also love “Titanic”. And not in an ironic kind of way, but I legitimately love this movie. Sure the love story is cheesy but I find it to be very effective and the shear spectacle of the Titanic itself.

From the Paramount press release:

Said Cameron, “There’s a whole generation that’s never seen ‘TITANIC’ as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen. And this will be ‘TITANIC’ as you’ve never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike.”

Are you just as excited as I am for the re-release of “Titanic” in 3D?
