Can't wait to see this doc. James Cameron Finally Admits ‘Jack Might’ve Lived’ On Raft At The End Of ‘Titanic’ Titanic director James Cameron has finally admitted that Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jack “might’ve lived” at the end of the movie when the titular ocean liner crashed and sank, Variety and Rolling Stone reported Thursday, giving credence to an obsessive 25-year-old fan theory. Key Facts To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, Cameron participated in a National Geographic special, “Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron,” in which three scientific tests were performed by stunt actors to determine if Jack could have fit on a makeshift raft along with Rose, which saved her life. In the one successful test, stunt actors who were roughly the same size as DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who portrayed Rose, performed the “strenuous activities” that the characters went through in the film before they got off the sinking ship, before balancing on the raft with only the lower portions of their bodies submerged, according to previews of the episode from Variety and Rolling Stone. Cameron then had the Rose stunt actor give her life jacket to Jack, something that does not happen in the movie. If this had happened, Jack would have been “stabilized,” and “got into a place where if we projected that out, he just might’ve made it until the lifeboat got there,” Cameron said. However, the character wouldn’t have allowed this to happen, Cameron said, saying Jack’s “thought process was, ‘I’m not going to do one thing that jeopardized her,’ and that’s 100 percent in character.” The stunt actors also tested out a fan theory that both Jack and Rose could have fit on the raft (the stunt actor’s bodies mostly submerged in what would have been freezing cold water), as well as the theory that only the upper halves of their bodies were positioned on the raft above the water (Cameron said Jack could have lasted “hours” that way—until he considered how tired Jack and Rose would be after getting off the boat in the first place, and ultimately determined they would have suffered). Crucial Quote “Final verdict: Jack might have lived, but there’s a lot of variables,” Cameron reportedly said in the National Geographic special. “Based on what I know today, I would have made the raft smaller so there’s no doubt.” Big Number $2.19 billion. That’s how much Titanic has made worldwide since its 1997 release, making it the third highest-grossing film in history. The top-grossing movie in history is Avatar, another Cameron-directed film, at $2.92 billion since its 2009 debut. Key Background Rose’s life is spared at the end of Titanic when she survives by floating on a raft, as Jack dies in the water next to her. Fans have theorized for years that the raft was big enough to fit both of them. Winslet recently said she doesn’t believe Jack would have survived alongside her, saying “it would not have stayed afloat.” The theory was previously tested on Mythbusters, which showed he could have lived. The obsession that Jack could have fit has become so ubiquitous that Brad Pitt even commented on it when thanking DiCaprio at the 2020 Golden Globes. “I would have shared the raft,” he said. Cameron has previously said, “the script says ‘Jack dies.’ He has to die.” What To Watch For Titanic returns to theaters on Feb. 11. “Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron” airs on February 5.

According to this account it was all a PR stunt. I agree with her that Leo only gets papped when he wants to and that the chances this happened "accidently" are very very low. What I don't understand if this was really planned why on earth Leo agrees with this kind of image because it causes him nothing but ugly backlash these days Even my MOTHER said Leo should just more often get papped with "older" women even if it's just for the sake of pr and everything would be just fine LMAO My mother also said she would volunteer to save his image LOL

It baffles me how guys like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Fassbender and Johnny Depp who clearly have some SERIOUS issues in one or another way are still gettin all the support while Leo is treaten like the worst guy in Hollywood ever because people just don't like his perfectly fine LEGAL dating habits. HOW??????? ... and it's def not Leo.

She was a big(ger) deal in the late 90s and 00s I would say. When I was a teen I thought she's beautiful lol She was the typical Baywatch babe type. Everyone went wild for this type of girls that time. Back then Leo hang out with girls like Kristen, Britney, Paris and Bobbie Brown who were exactly this type of girls aka blonde sexbombs. So saying she isn't his type is a far stretch to me LOL But I also think she's probably not talking about Leo in this case but Mark Wahlberg.

New upcoming HBO show THE PALACE Can't wait 🤩

It also delivers some eye candy with brit hunk Jack Lowden Agree LOL Also agree

^Her 1rst book was actually quite well recieved. https://www.laineygossip.com/movie-star-referenced-in-jessica-simpsons-new-essay-revealing-former-secret-romance-probably-mark-wahlberg/73463

^you girls ask way too much from Leo LOL

Totally out of context but I'm watching this apple+ show right now ... and it's sooooooo goddamn good (thrilling and hilarious at the same time). Gary Oldman is nothing less than brilliant and now I want him work with Leo very badly 🤩

But gorgeous she is. Reminds me a bit of young Brooke Shields actually.

^19 god lord suddenly I wish Victoria Lamas and her chatty dad back 🤣

Some old tea comin' up lol Most people think it's Mark Wahlberg even though I'm having a hard time calling him a "megastar". Thx @Lilja K for solving the mystery 🤓

Damn I like the idea of Leo and Florence ☺️ However Buzzfeed sees it a bit different LOL Polls are still open btw Leonardo DiCaprio Is Rumored To Be Dating Gigi Hadid; If That Doesn't Work Out, Let's Decide If These People Would Be A Good Match For Him They do think Leo and Ana would be a match. Actually Kate Beckinsale got the highest matchable score... (damn I have to re watch AVIATOR asap) even before Charlize Theron and Kate Winslet (even though she splitted some voices with this 3rd option lol) Seems like people are desperated to see Leo with someone near his own age lol Source Thx for the input @oxford25. I agree she kinda look "familiar" for me too.

Who's this? (not even leoandhismodels knows so far lol)

Damn Kate is gorgeous Original credit to rjoffroy

Maybe I'm the only one but the red hair suits her so much better 😍

^I also bought me a shirt 😄 #full fan mood #titanic forever #lol

Lolololololololol

Tiny Jim Jones update. Leonardo DiCaprio will play cult leader Jim Jones in film based on Texas author’s book MGM has optioned author Jeff Guinn’s ‘The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple.’ It’s something many authors dream about: writing a bestselling book and selling it to the movies. For Fort Worth-based Jeff Guinn, it just came true. His 2017 book, The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, is heading to Hollywood, and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio wants to play Jones. “I have been informed that an agreement has been made,” Guinn says. DiCaprio and Guinn each served as executive producers of Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle, a documentary series that aired in 2018. “I’m just so pleased that he liked the Jim Jones book enough that he wanted to do the documentary but that he also feels it should be a straight motion picture,” Guinn says. “I am very pleased that he thought enough of the book that he wanted it to be the source material.” The movie has been optioned by MGM for DiCaprio, according to Guinn’s literary agent, Jim Donovan. No one knows yet when shooting will begin or the film will be released. Scott Rosenberg has been chosen to write the adapted screenplay and is working on it now, Donovan says. Guinn, meanwhile, has already turned his attention to a different tale, with similar themes. Tuesday marked the official release of his latest book, Waco: David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and a Legacy of Rage. https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/movies/2023/01/27/leonardo-dicaprio-will-play-cult-leader-jim-jones-in-film-based-on-texas-authors-book/
