Об актёрах и персонажах
Как известно, роль Джека Доусона сыграл Леонардо ДиКаприо, но в своё время на это место претендовало несколько известных актёров:
- Мэттью МакКонахи — его кандидатура была предложена самой первой, поэтому именно он по первоначальному замыслу должен был быть в фильме. Но позднее сам Джеймс Кэмерон настоял на Леонардо ДиКаприо.
- Кристиан Бейл — Джеймс Кэмерон не захотел, чтобы два британских актёра играли двоих американцев.
- Маколей Калкин (актёр, исполнивший главные роли в фильмах «Один дома» и «Один дома 2»).
Также известно, что роль Розы Дьюитт Бьюкейтер сыграла Кейт Уинслет, но в своё время на это место претендовала актриса Гвинет Пелтроу.
Дэвид Уорнер (Спайсер Лавджой, телохранитель Хокли) является единственным актёром, который «тонул» на «Титанике» 2 раза. Первый раз в фильме 1979 года «Спасите „Титаник“» он исполнил роль Лоуренса Бизли, реально существовавшего пассажира 2-го класса.
Глория Стюарт изображала постаревшую Розу, возраст которой по сценарию составлял 101 год, хотя на самом деле актрисе было всего 86 лет. И по её заверениям в этом не было ничего приятного.
Роза произносит фразу «Я люблю тебя» только один раз, когда они вместе с Джеком уже были в воде — в самом конце фильма. Сам же Джек за весь фильм не произносит эту фразу ни разу, хотя он мельком упоминал о своей любви к ней.
Кейт Уинслет была одной из немногих актёров, кто не захотел носить гидрокостюм во время съёмок водных сцен.
Кейт Уинслет заработала пневмонию, когда участвовала в съёмках сцен гибели «Титаника».
Персонаж Розы частично основан на калифорнийской актрисе Беатрис Вуд, которая умерла в 1998 году в возрасте 105 лет. Любопытно что единственную женщину, вытащенную из воды после гибели Титаника, также звали Розой (Роза Абботт). Биография этой женщины не имела ничего общего с историей экранной Розы, но она также спаслась благодаря тому что зацепилась за дрейфующий «плот».
Глория Стюарт, получив номинацию «Лучшая актриса второго плана», стала самым пожилым человеком, номинировавшимся на «Оскар». Ей было тогда 87 лет.
Глория Стюарт была единственной среди всех, кто принимал участие в съёмках, жившей во время настоящей катастрофы «Титаника» в 1912 году.
Своё имя Каледон Хокли получил от двух небольших городов (Каледон и Хокли), находящихся в штате Онтарио в Канаде, где живут тётя и дядя Джеймса Кэмерона.
Когда Джеймс Кэмерон писал сценарий к фильму, он считал, что главные герои Джек Доусон и Роуз ДеВитт Бьюкейтер должны быть вымышленными персонажами. Только после того, как работа над сценарием была завершена, режиссёр узнал, что на борту «Титаника» был пассажир «Дж. Доусон». Джозеф Доусон родился в 1888 году в Дублине. Его тело было захоронено в Новой Шотландии вместе с остальными погибшими.
Отговаривая Розу от намерения спрыгнуть с корабля, Джек говорит ей, что ощущение при попадании в ледяную воду сравнимо с ощущением «когда тысячи ножей вонзаются в твое тело». Это явно цитата из воспоминаний Чарльза Лайтоллера, побывавшего в ночь крушения в этой ледяной воде и чудом избежавшего смерти от засасывания в один из коридоров тонущего судна.
О фильме и его съёмках
Бескозырки «White Star Line» были нормальные и зеркально-инвертированные.
После завершения съёмок полноразмерная модель «Титаника» была разобрана на части и распродана на металлолом.
Дольше всех на планете фильм был в прокате в кинотеатре «Салют» города Екатеринбурга, это зафиксировано Книгой Рекордов Гиннесса.
Рисунок, изображающий Розу, был сделан самим Джеймсом Кэмероном, именно его руки мы и видим в кадре. Все остальные рисунки в альбоме Джека также являются результатами работы режиссёра. Но из-за того, что Джеймс Кэмерон левша, при монтаже отснятые кадры были зеркально инвертированы.
Глубоководные кадры, которые вошли в финальную версию фильма, составляют по продолжительности всего 12 минут. Хотя на самом деле каждое погружение на глубину занимало несколько часов. В целях улучшения эффективности использования ресурсов и уменьшения расходов Джеймс Кэмерон распорядился подготовить макет останков «Титаника», уменьшенный в 33 раза. Каждое настоящее погружение было отрепетировано с использованием этой модели и моделей российских батискафов, что в итоге не прошло даром.
Всего было осуществлено 12 погружений. При последних двух картинка дистанционно передавалась специальным устройством, установленным внутри останков «Титаника». Причём некоторые кадры были смоделированы на компьютере.
Большинство декораций на корабле — от ковров до люстр — было реконструировано или находилось под присмотром компаний, которые когда-то оснащали настоящий «Титаник». При реконструировании декораций за образец брались декоративные элементы с «Олимпика» — брата-близнеца «Титаника», списанного в 1935 году. После списания многие элементы отделки «Олимпика» нашли вторую жизнь в создании интерьеров отеля «Белый лебедь» в Англии. Владельцы отеля любезно предоставили кинематографистам возможность измерять и фотографировать эти раритеты. Также при воссоздании интерьеров «Титаника» были использованы архивные фотографии интерьеров «Олимпика».
Съёмки общих планов «Титаника» в открытом море производились с помощью 45-футовой (примерно 13,7 метров) модели «Титаника», которую снимали маленькой цифровой камерой. Затем в студии Digital Domain на компьютере добавляли дым из труб и воду. Чтобы добиться правдоподобности, был использован алгоритм обнаружения со спутника кораблей и подводных лодок по водным колебаниям. Этот алгоритм учитывал поведение водной поверхности океана в спокойном состоянии и во время движения посторонних объектов. И, наконец, мастера компьютерной графики Digital Domain заселяли «Титаник» персонажами, созданными на компьютере. На одном из планов можно видеть даже компьютерного капитана Смита, поправляющего фуражку. Джеймс Кэмерон, давая указания работникам Digital Domain сказал: «Представьте, что мы снимаем рекламный клип для компании „Линия Белая Звезда“».
Перед тем, как приступить к рисованию Розы в своём альбоме, Джек говорит ей: «Вон туда, на кровать, ммм… на диван». На самом же деле здесь должна была быть фраза «Ложись на диван». Это случилось тогда, когда на съёмках Леонардо ДиКаприо слегка напутал текст сценария. Но Кэмерону понравилась эта оговорка, и именно этот дубль вошёл в итоговый вариант фильма.
Сцена рисования портрета Розы снималась в первый съёмочный день Кейт Уинслет и Леонардо Ди Каприо. После съёмок Лео спросил у Кэмерона: «Ну как у меня получилось?» На что режиссёр на полном серьёзе ответил: «Ну сам знаешь, сегодня твой первый съёмочный день, так что тебя ещё вполне можно и заменить».
Когда один из управляющих кораблём произносит «Полный вперёд!», мы слышим как кто-то подхватывает «Полный вперёд!» на заднем плане. На самом деле это был голос режиссёра Джеймса Кэмерона.
В реальной жизни было беспокойство по поводу того, что шлюпбалки недостаточно крепкие, чтобы выдержать спуск полностью загруженных спасательных шлюпок, хотя они и проверялись под таким весом. Шлюпбалки для фильма, которые можно заметить сгибающимися под большим весом, были изготовлены той же самой компанией, что и в 1912 году для настоящего «Титаника».
Для съёмки сцены, где вода впервые проникает внутрь корабля, было запланировано использовать 40 тысяч галлонов воды. Однако, как выяснилось позднее, этого оказалось недостаточно, и Кэмерон попросил увеличить количество воды в 3 раза. При этом пришлось переделать часть декораций, не выдержавших дополнительного веса.
Кэмерон был категорически против использования каких-либо песен в фильме, даже в заключительных титрах. Композитор Джеймс Хорнер вместе с Уиллом Дженнигсом (автором текста) и певицей Селин Дион записали песню «My Heart Will Go On». Позднее кассету дали прослушать Джеймсу Кэмерону. В итоге песня удостоилась премии «Оскар».
Съёмки отплытия «Титаника» в Саутгемптонском порту производились «в зеркальном отражении»: из-за экономии модель «Титаника» в натуральную величину покрыли металлом только с правого борта (прогноз погоды предсказывал северный ветер, поэтому было решено поставить модель носом к северу, чтобы ветер относил дым из труб к корме, и это создавало бы дополнительную иллюзию движения судна). Однако, в Саутгемптоне настоящий «Титаник» был пришвартован левым бортом, и чтобы не погрешить против истории, Джеймс Кэмерон решил снимать «наоборот». Для этого часть оборудования, реквизита, костюмов заказали «перевёрнутыми». Позже, при монтаже отснятого материала, изображение «перевернули» так, что всё стало правильно. Кейт Уинслет в одном из интервью призналась, что во время съёмок посадки на лайнер не могла удержаться от хохота, когда читала «ENIL RATS ETIHW» на бескозырках матросов.
У модели «Титаника» в натуральную величину отсутствовал нос. Его каждый раз добавляли на компьютере. Когда Джеймс Кэмерон увидел, в какую сумму обошлись эти спецэффекты, он воскликнул: «Лучше бы мы его построили!»
Для того, чтобы снять сцену погружения передней части корабля, пришлось разобрать построенную модель в натуральную величину и поместить её переднюю часть в резервуар глубиной 40 футов. Декорацию поднимали и опускали в воду 8 гидравлических подъёмников. Съёмки эпизода проводились без репетиции.
Во время съёмок сцены столкновения «Титаника» с айсбергом позади палубы, на которой находились Леонардо Ди Каприо и Кейт Уинслет, поставили зелёный экран, который потом во время монтажа заменили на компьютерное изображение (модель) айсберга. Но для того, чтобы сцена выглядела реалистичнее, на палубу сверху сыпали куски настоящего льда. Таким образом, куски отколовшегося от айсберга льда, которые упали за бортом — компьютерные, а которые попали на борт — настоящие.
Эффект намёрзшего льда на одежде и волосах пассажиров «Титаника», оказавшихся в воде, достигался тем, что их волосы и одежда покрывались воском, а также специальным порошком, который от соприкосновения с водой превращался в кристаллы. А пар изо рта добавлялся на компьютере.
Джеймс Кэмерон сознательно пошёл на допущение исторической неточности при съёмках эпизодов в спасательных шлюпках. Ночь на 15 апреля 1912 года была безлунной, звёзды давали слишком мало света, а режиссёру надо было хоть как-нибудь осветить декорации. Поэтому Кэмерон дал в руки некоторых офицеров электрические фонарики, которых, увы, не было у настоящих офицеров в 1912 году.
В многочисленных интервью Джеймс Кэмерон упоминал о своих опасениях и опасениях студии, что фильм не окупится и станет убыточным. В частности, он сказал в интервью газете USA Today: «Ну подумайте сами, события происходили в 1912 году, фильм шёл больше трёх часов, в конце все умирали — как такой фильм мог стать успешен?».
При постановке спецэффектов Роберт Скотак использовал технические приёмы, придуманные советским кинорежиссером Павлом Клушанцевым. В 1997 году фильм был удостоен премии «Оскар» за лучшие спецэффекты.
О рекордах фильма
Бюджет картины составил 200 миллионов долларов, что было рекордом в 1997 году.
Этот фильм стал первым, кто одновременно получил премию «Оскар» и MTV Movie Award в номинации «Лучший фильм».
«Титаник» стал вторым фильмом, который получил рекордное количество номинаций на премию «Оскар» — первым был фильм «Всё о Еве» (1950).
«Титаник» также является одним из трёх фильмов, которые получили по 11 премий «Оскар» — двумя другими являются «Бен-Гур» (1959) и «Властелин колец: Возвращение короля» (2003).
Впервые с 1966 года фильм «Титаник» получил премию «Оскар» в номинации «Лучший фильм», будучи при этом не представленным в номинации «Лучший сценарий». Предыдущим фильмом, которого постигла та же «неудача» были «Звуки музыки» (1965).
Имея 14 номинаций на «Оскар», фильм не получил ни одного из них среди номинаций на лучших актёров или актрис первого или второго плана.
«Титаник» стал первым фильмом в истории, собравшим во всём мире больше 1 миллиарда долларов. После него только пять фильмов смогли преодолеть этот рубеж — «Властелин колец: Возвращение короля» (2003), «Пираты Карибского моря: Сундук мертвеца» (2006), «Тёмный рыцарь» (2008), «Аватар» (2009) и «Алиса в Стране чудес» (2010).
Собрав в Северной Америке $600 788 188, «Титаник» в течение 12 лет был единственным фильмом собравшим более $600 млн, позже его опередил «Аватар».
«Титаник» возглавлял американский бокс-офис в течение 15 недель друг за другом — с 19 декабря 1997 года по 2 апреля 1998 года. Больше него на первой строчке проката продержался только фильм «Инопланетянин» (1982) — 16 недель, правда, не последовательно.
Всего же фильм был в прокате с 19 декабря 1997 года по 1 октября 1998 года. Таким образом, фильм обладает рекордом длительности проката — 287 дней
Если исходить из окончательных расходов, то получается, что одна минута готового фильма стоила один миллион долларов.
Бюджет фильма в 200 миллионов долларов превысил средства, которые были затрачены на строительство «Титаника» в 1910–1912 годах — около 1,5 миллиона фунтов стерлингов, что соответствовало тогда 7,5 миллионам долларов. С учётом инфляции в 1997 году эта сумма составила бы от 120 до 150 миллионов долларов.
Для съёмок фильма были изготовлены самые большие плавающие модели кораблей — длина каждой из 4-х моделей «Титаника» составляла 19 метров. Предыдущий рекорд (16 метров) также принадлежал модели «Титаника», она была изготовлена для съёмок фильма «Спасите „Титаник“».

The cast and characters
As you know, the role of Jack Dawson played by Leonardo DiCaprio, but in his time at this place claimed several famous actors:
Matthew McConaughey - his candidacy was proposed by the very first, so he was on the original plan was to be in the film. But he later James Cameron insisted on Leonardo DiCaprio.
Christian Bale - James Cameron did not want to have two British actor played two Americans.
Macaulay Culkin (an actor who has performed leading roles in the films "Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2").
We also know that the role of Rose DeWitt Byukeyter played Kate Winslet, but in his time at this place claimed by actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
David Warner (Spicer Lovejoy, bodyguard Hockley) is the only actor who "drowned" in the "Titanic" 2 times. For the first time in the movie 1979 "Save" Titanic "'he played the role of Lawrence Beesley, real-life passenger 2nd class.
Gloria Stuart Rose portrayed the aged, whose age was the scenario for 101 years, although in fact the actress was just 86 years. And on its assurances that there was nothing nice.
Rose says the phrase "I love you" only once, when he and Jack were in the water - at the very end of the film. Jack himself during the film does not say that phrase even once, although he briefly talked about his love for her.
Kate Winslet was one of the few actors who refused to wear a suit during the filming of water scenes.
Interesting facts about the movie "Titanic"
Kate Winslet earned pneumonia, when involved in the shooting death scenes of "Titanic."
The character Rose is partially based on a California actress Beatrice Wood, who died in 1998 aged 105 years. It is interesting that the only woman out of water after the loss of the Titanic, also named Rosa (Rose Abbott). Biography of this woman had nothing to do with the history of the Rose-screen, but it also saved because that caught the drift of the "flesh".
Gloria Stuart was nominated for "Best Actress", became the oldest person nominated for "Oscar". She was then 87 years.
Gloria Stuart was the only one among all those who took part in the shootings, who lived during this disaster, "Titanic" in 1912.
Caledon Hockley his name was on two small towns (Caledon and Hockley), located in Ontario, Canada, home to Aunt and Uncle James Cameron.
When James Cameron wrote the screenplay for the film, he believed that the main characters Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Byukeyter to be fictional characters. Only after the work on the script was completed, the director found out that on board the "Titanic" was a passenger, "J. Dawson ". Joseph Dawson was born in 1888 in Dublin. His body was buried in Nova Scotia along with the other dead.
Discouraging the Rose of the intention to jump off the ship, Jack tells her that feeling when released into the icy water is comparable to the feeling of "when thousands of knives pierce into your body." This is clearly a quotation from the memoirs of Charles Laytoller, who visited in the night crash in the icy water and narrowly escaped death from the ingestion of one of the corridors sinking ship.About the film and its shooting
Peakless cap «White Star Line» were normal and mirror-inverted.
After completing the filming of a full-size model of the "Titanic" was dismantled and sold for scrap.
Longest in the world the film was in theaters at the cinema "Salute" the city of Yekaterinburg, it is recorded Guinness Book of Records.
Interesting facts about the movie "Titanic"
Drawing of Rose, was made by James Cameron, it was his hand and we can see in the picture. All other pictures in the album Jack is also the result of the director. But due to the fact that James Cameron is left-handed, mounting frames were captured mirror inverted.
Deep-sea footage that went into the final version of the film are on the duration of 12 minutes. Although in reality each dive to a depth of a few hours. In order to improve resource efficiency and reduce cost James Cameron has ordered to prepare a layout of the remains of the "Titanic", reduced to 33 times. Each dive was rehearsed now using this model and models of Russian bathyscaphe, which ultimately has a consequence.
A total of 12 dives done. In the last two picture remotely transmitted to a special device installed inside the remnants of "Titanic." And some of the shots were simulated on the computer.
Most of the decorations on the ship - from rugs to chandeliers - was reconstructed, or has been under the supervision of the companies that used to equip the real "Titanic." When reconstructing the sample sets were used for decorative elements with the "Olympic" - twin brother of "Titanic" written off in 1935. After the cancellation of many decorative elements "Olympic" have found a second life in the interiors of the hotel "White Swan" in England. The owners kindly gave filmmakers the ability to measure and photograph these rarities. Also, when recreating the interiors of the "Titanic" were used archival photographs of interiors, "Olympic."
Filming the general plans of "Titanic" on the high seas were made with 45-foot (about 13.7 meters) of the model of "Titanic", which removed a small digital camera. Then, in the studio Digital Domain on a computer is added smoke from pipes and water. To achieve credibility, a detection algorithm used by satellite ships and submarines for water fluctuations. This algorithm takes into account the behavior of the water of the ocean surface at rest and during movement of foreign objects. And finally, the master computer graphics Digital Domain settled "Titanic" characters created on the computer. On one of the plans can be seen even computer Captain Smith, adjusts his cap. James Cameron, giving instructions to employees Digital Domain said: "Imagine that we remove the promotional clip for" White Star Line. '"
Interesting facts about the movie "Titanic"
Before you start drawing the Roses in the album, Jack tells her: "Get out there on the bed, umm ... on the couch." In fact, there was to be the phrase "Get down on the sofa." This happened when the shooting Leonardo DiCaprio slightly messed up the script. But Cameron liked this clause, and this was double entered into the final version of the film.
Scene painting a portrait of Rosa was shot on the first day of shooting, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. After the shooting, Leo asked Cameron: "Well I got?" In the director in all seriousness said, "Well, you know, today is your first day of shooting, so you can more fully and replace."
When one of the managers of the ship says "Full speed ahead!", We hear someone picks up the "Full speed ahead!" In the background. In fact, it was the voice of director James Cameron.
In real life, was concerned about the fact that the davits enough strong to withstand the downhill fully loaded lifeboats, although they were tested under such a weight. Davits for the film, which can be seen straining under the heavy weight, were made by the same company that in 1912, to present "Titanic."
To shoot the scene where the water first penetrates the ship was planned to use 40,000 gallons of water. However, as it turned out, this was not enough, and Cameron has asked to increase the amount of water 3 times. At the same time had to convert part of the scenery, not supporting the added weight.
Cameron was categorically against the use of any songs in the film, even in the closing credits. Composer James Horner along with Will Jennings (author of text) and singer Celine Dion recorded a song «My Heart Will Go On». Later gave the tape to listen to James Cameron. As a result, the song won the "Oscar".
Filming departure of "Titanic" in the port of Southampton, made "the mirror": for saving a model of "Titanic" life-size metal covered only on the starboard side (the weather forecast predicted north wind, so it was decided to model his nose to the north, the wind smoke from the chimneys attributed to the stern, and it would create an additional illusion of movement of the vessel). However, in Southampton, the real "Titanic" was moored the left side, and not to sin against history, James Cameron decided to shoot "on the contrary." For this piece of equipment, props, costumes ordered "upside down". Later, when editing the footage, the image is "flipped" so that everything was correct. Kate Winslet in an interview, admitted that during the filming of landing on the ship could not help laughing when I read «ENIL RATS ETIHW» peakless cap to sailors.
A model of the "Titanic" in full size missing nose. It each time added on your computer. When James Cameron saw how much it cost these effects, he said, "I wish we built it!"
To shoot a scene the front of the dive ship, had to disassemble built full-scale model and put it in front of the tank depth of 40 feet. Decoration raised and lowered into the water eight hydraulic jacks. Filming of the episode were without a rehearsal.
During the filming of the scene of collision "Titanic" with an iceberg behind the deck, on which there were Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have put a green screen, which is then replaced during the installation on the computer image (model) of the iceberg. But to the scene look more realistic on the deck were thrown from the top of this ice chunks. Thus, the breakaway pieces of ice from an iceberg that had fallen behind - the computer, and who were on board - the real thing.
Interesting facts about the movie "Titanic"
The effect of the frozen ice on the clothing and hair of the passengers of "Titanic" caught up in the water, was achieved by the fact that their hair and clothes were covered with wax, and a special powder, which on contact with water, turned into crystals. A pair of his mouth was added to the computer.
James Cameron went deliberately to the assumption of historical inaccuracy when shooting episodes in lifeboats. Night on April 15, 1912 was moonless, the stars were given too little light, but the director had in any way to illuminate the scenery. So Cameron has given into the hands of some officers of the electric lamps, which, alas, did not have these officers in 1912.
In numerous interviews, James Cameron talked about his fears and anxieties studio that the film does not pay off and become profitable. In particular, he said in an interview with USA Today: «Well, think for yourself, the events took place in 1912, the film was more than three hours, in the end all die - as this film could be successful?".
In setting up special effects, Robert Skotak using techniques invented by the Soviet filmmaker Paul Klushantsevym. In 1997, the film was awarded the "Oscar" for best special effects.On the records movie
The budget of the film was $ 200 million, which was a record in 1997.
This film was the first who simultaneously received the "Oscar" and MTV Movie Award in the category "Best Film".
"Titanic" became the second film, which received a record number of nominations for the "Oscar" - the first was the movie "All About Eve" (1950).
"Titanic" is also one of the three films, which received 11 awards "Oscar" - the other two are "Ben Hur" (1959) and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (2003).
For the first time since 1966 film "Titanic" won the "Oscar" in the category "Best Film", while being not represented in the nomination "The best scenario." Previous film, which suffered the same "failure" was "The Sound of Music" (1965).
With 14 nominations for "Oscar", the film does not get any of them are among the nominations for best actors and actresses of the first or second plan.
"Titanic" became the first film in history, collected from around the world, more than $ 1 billion. After him, only five films were able to overcome this threshold - "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (2003), "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (2006), "The Dark Knight" (2008), "Avatar" (2009) and "Alice in Wonderland "(2010).
After gathering in North America, $ 600,788,188, "Titanic" for 12 years was the only film grossed more than $ 600 million, later it was ahead of "Avatar".
"Titanic" was headed by the American box office for 15 weeks, one after another - from 19 December 1997 to April 2, 1998. More on his first line of the rental lasted only a movie "Alien" (1982) - 16 weeks, although not consistently.
Overall, the movie was in theaters December 19, 1997 to October 1, 1998. Thus, the movie has a record length of hire - 287 days
If we start from the final cost, it turns out that a minute of finished movie was worth one million dollars.
The film's budget at $ 200 million exceeded the funds that were spent to build the "Titanic" in 1910-1912 - around £ 1.5 million, which corresponded to 7.5 million dollars then. Adjusted for inflation, in 1997, this amount would have been 120 to $ 150 million.
For the film were made the biggest sailing ship models - the length of each of the 4 models of the "Titanic" was 19 meters. The previous record (16 yards) also belonged to the model of "Titanic", it was made for the movie "Save" Titanic "."
As you know, the role of Jack Dawson played by Leonardo DiCaprio, but in his time at this place claimed several famous actors:
