I don’t know about you, but nothing says “celebrating the holidays” to me like watching an epic romantic movie. Titanic is one of the greatest in that category, and this December, you’ll have the chance to revisit this love story on the big screen. In honor of the film’s 20th anniversary, a remastered version of Titanic will hit movie theaters for one week starting on December 1. Excuse me, I’m booking my tickets now!
Cosmopolitan reports that the film will be re-released in more than 85 AMC theaters, marking its second re-release since it was released in 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ship Titanic sinking. Those who buy tickets through AMC will even receive a free digital download of the movie. Fans making the trip to the theater can see the film in either 2D or 3D, but either type of screening will show the remastered film in Dolby Vision’s ultra-high-definition mode. In other words, Leonardo DiCaprio will probably be even more beautiful.
Director James Cameron appeared in the beginning of a new trailer for the film, citing Titanic’s remastering as a key reason for its re-release. “When we mastered Titanic in Dolby vision, I was stunned,” he said. “It was like seeing it for the first time.”
In a press release announcing the return to cinemas, Cameron explained, “This is beyond 3D, beyond 70mm, it’s beyond anything you’ve seen before. The image leaps off the screen as bright and vibrant as life itself. This is the way all movies should be seen.”
Something tells me that Cameron definitely didn’t need to remaster the film to stir up interest for a re-release.

I have 2 copies of Titanic on DVD but best believe I’ll be at the theater when it’s on for the 20th anniversary crying like a baby.

I am definitely working a trip to see Titanic into my schedule the week of December 1. Once a classic, always a classic.
