Synopsis
A look inside the creation of one of the highest-grossing and most expensive films ever made. Cameron, the director of "Titanic" who is notorious for his perfectionism, had his own studio built in Mexico during the filming, and insisted on the building of a 750-foot replica of the great ship.

Publisher's Note
The first film to gross over $1 billion worldwide, winner of eleven Academy Awards (for Best Picture, Director, Cinematography, Film Editing, Art Direction, Costume Design, Original Dramatic Score, Original Song, Visual Effects, Sound, and Sound Effects Editing), Titanic has been the subject of continuous media coverage, but not until now has the whole story behind the movie been told in such fascinating, behind-the-scenes detail - including excerpts from Cameron's journals - that you feel you are there, reliving the three-year adventure with the extraordinary filmmaker and his co-creators.

Industry reviews
In the wake of James Cameron's Titanic (14 Academy nominations, 11 Oscars, a billion-dollar worldwide box office), Parisi traces the development of project "Big Boat" from inception to conclusion in a tribute to "the man who did more than any other to revolutionize the look of film as we enter the new millennium." Written in a breezy, reportorial style, the book details the execution of Cameron's vision of Titanic "as a kind of living history." Cameron's notorious perfectionism prompted the building of a 750-foot replica of the Titanic and the building of Cameron's own film studio in Mexico. Called the 100 Day Studio, it was the first built by one of the Hollywood majors since the 1930s. Taking responsibility for his excesses, Cameron (in an unprecedented move) reassigned his profit-sharing back to Twentieth Century-Fox. Surpassing Waterworld's gigantic budget, Titanic became the most expensive movie ever made. Staffers wore T-shirts proclaiming: "You Can't Scare Me I Work for James Cameron." But Mr. Action King pulled it off. At the cost of $1 million per minute, Titanic became the highest-grossing film ever in the U.S., exceeding Star Wars. There is an old-fashioned feel to the story of the making of Titanic, and Parisi's lively portrayal recalls the egomaniacal geniuses of yore, particularly D.W. Griffith, whose daring innovations founded the movies as an art form by 1912. Is Cameron the D.W. Griffith of the 21st century? Time, the greatest Titan of all, will tell. 16-page color photo insert not seen by PW. (June)
