  • how long did it take for them to make this for the movie?

  • @yamha

    The main filming took about 160 days.

    The whole thing took around two years I think.

  • At the start of the movie before Leonardo Di Caprio got no to the ship, the Titanic was in Cobh in real life (it is in the movie too). I live the're today. The last place the Titanic was before it sank.

  • how's this"ship'now?

  • gr8  :)

  • @lauriemam

    I knew that and I am not what you call me. =P

  • They built a whole ship....Ok, normal....(I'm kidding, right)

  • @ntinakar1 Just a little ship of nothing ! :p

    It's always impressionant...

  • back then IT WAS a biggest ship in the world, And cost what ? . Today We can rebuild the same ship just to make one movie!

  • @nukeurhouse12 About $7.5 million dollars, which was about $400 million today. any dumbass who gives a crap about titanic would no that :P

  • @nukeurhouse12 infact just rebuild the whole dang ship! Working propellers and everything!!

  • It cost $1,00,0,000,0,00,00000,0 to build. That's a lot of commas! :O

  • all that effort to build the Titanic again for it to sink again. ON CAMERA!

  • so....what did they do with the set afterwards?

  • @bobscanfly ya i like to know too

  • wow that was amazing

  • did you know it took over £100,000,0 to make?

  • @jay6550 that's not a number

  • @sep800wastakenwtf it is, it is over £(one million), only a idiot would NOT know that the number 100,000,0 is 1 million

  • @jay6550

    1,000,000 = a million

    100,000,0 = something you just made up

  • @jay6550 sort your commas out kid.

  • @mikegiard fuck you

  • All that work to build it again, just to let it sink again... on camera!

  • Leave it there and NEVER take it apart.

  • JAMES CAMERON SURE KNOWS HOW TO GO TO THE ALL OUT WITH HIS MOVIES

  • @VanishingData Who would go on a replica of a ship that was doomed, where heaps of people died?

  • damn . . . i was wondering how they got such good graphics for a movie made in '97 . .

    shitt thats nice

  • Can that be driven on water?

  • Love those memories of working on such amazing movie.

    my scenes can be seen here, look for the video:

    VsJRNCUbTVs here on youtube

  • at least let carnival have it. besides, they was white star line...

  • Director: good job guys! Now can you take it apart.

  • bet they crashed it by accident b4 the ship was floating

  • I WONDER, HOW MANY DAYS WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO COMPLETE THIS SET!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah LOL, with the money they spent doing the damn movie they could have just made the original ship. xD

  • @SirFancyBubbles they would've needed twice the money for that though. titanic in todays money=over 400 million; movie= 200 million.

  • i remember going to Rosarito Mexico as a 7 yeal old and always wondering what the hell they were building i thought it was a real ship !

  • how did you get this footage its really cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooool

  • you all do realized that this ship here was made funnels first, and never launched??? lmao

  • Why not build the whole damn thing and drive it on a iceberg again and film it...

  • @SMGJohn I asked me the same thing before seen your comment

  • @SMGJohn IDK, it would seem like a criminal waste of the contractors' time and energy, as well as over 100 million dollars to just destroy it after completion. However your comment gets a LOLZ!!!

  • @SMGJohn v HAHHAHAAH cause no one wants to be stranded with the retched white girl in the end thats why the white guy drowned him self lol

  • @SMGJohn since cameron made one billion dollars out of the film, he could have done it!

  • @SMGJohn because the actors ould risk thier lives and die

  • @SMGJohn First of all, there would probably be no icebergs around. Second of all, that is illegal. The water was freezing, it was below 20 degrees. Most of the people would've died from hypothermia. If you're in that water for 30 minutes, you'll die no matter what. It's not possible to re-act the tragedy that happened. So they did it on shore in Mexico. (NOTE: Most of the extras were Mexicans). Now you have nothing to say to what I just explained.

  • @sacramentolove he said it as a joke man.. chill..

  • awsome! want to see something else thats cool, type in The shadewagon. some lady in utah invented it, i seen it on the today show. sure thing everyone will have one in the next ten years or so.

  • yeop just wat i was thinking rebuild and film is again but then not for sinking but for use the safe way :P unsinkeble??/

  • God I would have given ANYTHING to have been part of that movie if I was old enough back in 1997...... I still cry sometimes knowing I missed out on the chance of a liftime to be aboard that ship replica......

  • They made the ship in 45 second, no wonder it sank..

  • @BSChargeX

    Now THAT'S a sense of humour

  • @BSChargeX xDDDDDDDDD

  • in real life the dock was on the other side, so instead of rebuild they wrote words backwards then flipped the image horizontally - i saw it on the dvd extras :p

  • did they really build a ship? it would off been simpler just to make a minie verstion and photoshot everythink

  • It was an ugly tree amyway.

  • Looks just like the Harland & Wolff shipyard would have looked like back in 1912...

  • They just build the whole ship?

    

  • i never relised tehy build a new ship for the theme ha

  • the titanic was an EPIC ship. the only thing wrong with it was the whole running it into a fucking huge iceberg part.

  • @needleonthevinyl and the facked that they based the movie on a love story more then they did the tragity that was wrong 2 i mean the movie is 1 of my favrits but thats only becous i care about the ship

  • too fast!!! :)

    

  • actual boat? or just a dud?

  • cant they just...,wats it called...,CG i think...

  • @moneymaker8815 it takes away from the look of the movie...so they built this but smaller for the movie of course. between each funnel they removed 20 feet so building materials could be kept to a minimum.

  • @Snakeuserorochi Ok...,but that still looks like a lot. I mean, cg still looks ok...,kinda.Plus, do you see them on deck a lot? Can't they just build the parts or places they are on the deck instead of the whole thing?

  • @moneymaker8815 yea i get what your saying but cameron wanted as many shots that portrayed the ship in its entirety and full beauty. CG can do that but it would take a lot longer. depth is an issue with CG and during the whole sinking/ entire movie, that would have been a hindrance.

  • @Snakeuserorochi Oh, then, I suppose. Then ok. I understand, thank you.

  • I always wonder why they didn't actually just build another titanic, the set looks almost the real deal

  • It wasn't sunk for the movie, it was scrapped.

  • They spend millions on the titanic. Too bad they got to sink it for the movie xD

  • EPIC

  • wow! how long did it take them to make that?

  • You wouldn't believe they'd actually and ACCURATELY clone the Titanic to near-scale just to sink it...again...

  • that was pretty damn kool

  • didn't the actual titanic just have 3 chimneys?

  • 4 smokestacks, 3 that worked.

  • yes it had three that connected to the engines and then the fourth was used to store animals

  • @MO3MINI are you talking about the funnels? because they didnt store animals in the extra funnel. it actually did work. it was used to let out steam from the kitchens and stuff.

  • @Titanicluver321 yes it was used and not to the extent that many think. it was used for storage for deck chairs and other useful storage but like you said, it had a few small pipes that let out steam from kitchens and such.

  • it had four the last one was more like a dummy

  • @poptimistisk Yes and no, Titanic had three funnels for the smoke to be released from, the fourth one was used as a vent. steam from the cooking rooms and such.

  • people in belfast are still proud of the Titanic

  • @54687y i am proud of it im not from belfast

  • @54687y Do you blame them?

  • @54687y Pfft, Proud of a tin can that 'cant' Sink.

  • This Titanic wasn't the full ship - it was only 100 feet shorter and made mostly of wood on the exterior so they could film the dramatic scenes more easily. The rest of the titanic scenes were done mostly by way of taking an actual ship out that had the same engine room found on the actual titanic and filming in the engine room (i.e. the full ahead and full stop scenes)

  • @Sanosuke004: Mostly of wood? I'm not surpriesed this ship sank!

    Just kidding, it's amazing that they builted almost a new titanic, must have been very expencive! :)

  • Didn't they use one of the last surviving Liberty ships to do the engine room sequences?

  • Yes, they used one of the last surviving Liberty ships -- they just rescaled the gauges and such so as to give the impression you were in the actual titanic engine room when the engine was on full ahead and full stop for the scenes required.

  • stupid hoes they didn't rebuild the entire ship. they had many large scale models and built only half (stern side) of the entire ship to actual scale

  • this is sick

  • im a dumass, but do you think that replica of titanic could sail? or is there no bottom so the water could get in?

  • @workerbee2000000 - how fuckin stupid are you

  • i hope they know they just rebuilt the whole fricken shit...

  • they jus made another one

  • omg!I didn't know they built the whole ship...How much could that have cost?

  • They didnt build the ENTIRE ship, just the outside and inside it were only the rooms they needed. The rest was a hollow shell. Also it cost enough to put paramount and fox into dept and if the movie wasnt a success they would have gone bankrupt. After they finished the movie they tore the ship apart and sold it for scrap metal.

  • thats a bit over dramatic. The studios knew the cost going into the making of the movie. They already consider if it didnt make a dime well before going into production. I know becuase i went to USC and some of the production crew talk to us about that, and how the studios worked back then vs now.

  • im in shock here too its actually nuts!

  • that looks real motha fuckin expensive got damn

  • i think this movie cost around 130 mil to make, but it made like 10 times that :D

  • how

  • The film had a budget (in US Dollars) of $200 million and it's Gross Revenue (Film's income (in US Dollars)

    $1 ,848 ,813 ,795

  • it would be really daunting to walk around on that replica

  • yah lol! it would be like....flashback....uh this is wierd lol!

  • ho lyyyyyyyyyyyyy shit!

    Well i wasn't expecting they actualy made a REPLICA!

    But than again .97, What were you expecting.

    If they made it today they would use computers....

  • Yea. But the computer effects make it crappy. Well most of the time.

    Like that twilight movie.

    i mean seriously would want to pay for that crap. If you want to "watch the actual movie" or a better version of it then just get the book , right?

    The titanic movie was/is incredible. I watch it for the first time when i was 3 and i sat throught the whole thing (according to my mommmy xD)

  • huh?

  • Hey you guys build titanic! Make a floating one!!

  • you know there are reasons why it is considered a legend.

  • Yeah, as opposed to the original... O.o

  • Wow,no wonder the titanic movie was so expensive to make.

  • i read that it costed more to make this set than it took to actually make titanic!!!

  • Sheesh, they might as well just build a real Titanic.

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven naah it would just sink..

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven

    Except this was built out of wood, steel, aluminum, and plastic. The real thing was built out of steel, much, much thicker, actually usable steel, and wood. The wood used in this was lumber, not "functional" wood.

    The walls on the set are fake, nothing's behind most of them. And it certainly can't float.

    It was also only built half. The other half wasn't detailed, and shots in the movie showing the other side were just side this, flipped.

  • Comment removed

  • woh, thats cool

  • its Not a real Ship u idiots it was made as fake background set all the scenes that were inside the ship which was most of the movie were filmed in a studio this was only used for the on deck scenes

  • And dont forget

    billiejones25

    SOME OF THE SCENES WHERE JUST TINY MODELS O_O

  • OMG That must of taken ages to build for the film! And to think it only gets smashed up lol

  • man they built a real boat impressive where is it floating

  • Very impressive!

  • who cares if its 100 ft shorter it looks like it and its cool the movie got four stars it wont make the movie more worse

  • do they still have this ship? i mean they couldnt of destroyed it

  • That they did...

    response to jlagraba

  • if you watch the documentary, they only made the starboard side of the ship, which you saw in this vid, but not the other half. Also they put the ship in the wrong direction, lol

  • thats why they shoot the scenes in the opposite direction because the ship is facing in the wrong direction. . the reason is, because James Cameron was basing the wind direction so that when the funnels are smoked, the smoke would be in the proper direction too. . .they also flipped the White Starline Logo's and other names so that in post production, they would flipped it in the correct place. . .

  • its destroyed. when they used it for sinking, the water had dsintergrated the exterior of the ship(which was made from wood)

  • coolio

  • why did they build the stern first?

  • it takes less pieces but however back of the ship requires alot of parts includin the propelller and engine

  • oh... kk

  • there were no propellers in this titanic set. The ship doesnt even move. Its basically made from scaffolding and the exterior is made from wood.

  • with a green screen?

  • That is amazing

  • thats cany amazing :|

  • I drive by that set every time i go to mexico it is right off the toll road pretty cool they use it for a lot of movies.

  • did they keep this up after the movie was over?

  • wow is that to scale of what the actual titanic was anyone?

  • 90% to the real ship! :o

  • holy caca!! i never knew they BUILT the set! i just thought they went to some random place... well, i was 4 when it came out, but now im 13.. but STILL! damn.. mustve cost A LOT 0_0

  • Bloody little kids on youtube... I saw it in theaters. I was 12 ^^

    Also, I read that they only built half the ship, so for scenes with the opposite side, they had to make the actors wear mirror-image clothing and then switch the film around in post-production.

  • your bloody

  • it cost more to make a film about the titanic than it cost them to actually build the real titanic

  • and it took longer to watch the movie than to both make a film and to build the real titanic :P

  • @Brettmeden yeah because they had to pay the actors props and the upkeep of the set they were using

  • @Brettmeden Are you on crack? Titanic cost $200 million to make. Rebuilding the Titanic with all-new modern-day technology was estimated at nearly $2 BILLION.

  • @Somborac420

    No, that's just because of the Federal Reserve.

    And no, it still wouldn't cost THAT much. Yes, if you did build it, today, with new tech, yes it would obviously cost more, though. Of course, with new tech it wouldn't be the same at all, it would not even remotely look the same; it'd just be the Queen Mary 2, or something like that.

  • @SlLENTHlLL Actually no, it wouldn't. I would be the SAME design.  Just a stronger material & updated technology.

  • I remember reading certain laws that govern shipbuilding would prevent a replica from being made (even with stronger materials) because of the way it was built, the shape of it (internally, not just outside appearance). That you would have to make certain fundamental changes to the design because it's unsound compared to the modern way of building ships.

    So even if it was remade with stronger materials & computers and whatnot installed; if was shaped the same it would not be allowed to sail.

  • @SlLENTHlLL

    Of course, if you made the hull and all other important key structural sections out of nano-carbon tubes / nanocarbon fibres (you can build space elevators out of this stuff), then that's a different story... Then it would be super strong, and be able to be of any shape and withstand pretty much ANYTHING that was thrown at it. It would actually pretty much be unsinkable, and weigh much less.

    But also of course, it would cost much more to make.

  • @SlLENTHlLL I believe the problem is that the bow of the ship is too sharp, aka it is like a dagger and if it hit another ship it would shear it in two. In fact that already happened in the past when the Olympic cut a ship in half with her bow.

  • Comment removed

  • @SlLENTHlLL Those facts are incorrect. Titanic II is actually in the planning as we speak. Inconel 625 metal, top-of-the-line technology & the same design! :-D They plan to have it built & sailing by April 12, 2012, marking the 100-year anniversary of the sinking.

  • @Somborac420

    lol

  • @SlLENTHlLL I doubt a modern version would run on steam anyway :O

  • @Somborac420 Let alone insurance on a ship named Titanic would be like $400,000,000a month..

  • @mulder1021 Nope, significantly less than that.

  • man i cant belive they redone most of the out side of the boat must of cost them a fortune

  • does anyone know where the set location was?

  • In Rosarito, Mexico.

  • I know the set designer personally. His name is Dennis and he lives a couple miles from me.

  • I want to meet him! :) Can you introduce me to him!! :p

  • cool

  • tehy should have rebuilt it instead of selling the metal scraps

  • should've kept it as a landmark

  • yeah that would be great aswell

  • Hear ya

  • i Belive they have one in Branson Missouri

  • @TheStemi4ever me to! ive only been there once though.

  • it doesnt have any sound

    where i can heard it in sound??

  • READ!!!!!!!

    Rod Serling (of the Twilight Zone)knew that the Lusitania was a much more important sip than the Titanic and he wrote a TZ ep where a man travels back in time to try to stop the Lusitania from getting torpedoed (an act which brought the US into World War One where as the T
