First look at Titanic 3D

The director of the Oscar-winning 1997 film and producer Jon Landau previewed 18 minutes of assorted footage that has been converted into 3D for next year's rerelease of the film. The mastermind behind Avatar joked that it wasn't fully 3D because Titanic wasn't filmed in 3D. He was quick to note, though, that most other converted 3D films are just "2.4D".

"I think it looks spectacular," said Cameron. "If I had 3D cameras at the time and there had been 3D theatres at the time, I certainly would have shot it in 3D. It's also just a way of reinventing the concept of a re-release and getting people to come back to theatres and commit that three hours and 15 minutes to go through the experience again."

The 3D footage showcased moments involving depth, such as a car being slowly hoisted onto the deck of the ship or Jack anxiously awaiting Rose at the bottom of a grand staircase amid a series of columns that seemingly jut out of the screen.

Cameron said that DiCaprio and Winslet have yet to see the 3D footage of Titanic, but he has spoken with Winslet about the project, and she is "on board".

He hasn't talked to DiCaprio about the rerelease because he's been busy shooting The Great Gatsby in Australia.

"We'd love to have them involved to the extent that I think people are curious about what their journey has been since Titanic," Cameron said.

"I think Titanic cast a very long shadow over the careers of two extremely brilliant young actors who had to spend a lot of time kinda reminding people they weren't Jack and Rose over the next few years."

Cameron said that it will take 300 artists 60 weeks at a cost of $18 million to create the 3D version of Titanic, which won't include any new material. Landau noted that the film will also be rereleased in 2D and that the "2D is going to be a better print than anything we could have done at the time" because they have since created a "digital master" of the film.

Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox are set to rerelease Titanic on April 6, 2012, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail on April 10, 1912. After it debuted in 1997, Titanic won 11 Academy Awards and grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide, second only to Cameron's Avatar, which was filmed in 3D and released in 2009.

It’s George Clooney’s Oscar To Lose

It’s George Clooney’s Oscar To Lose. There’s a point in every silly season - oh of course, I meant to say awards season – when I actually get interested in the race. It happened yesterday when I saw The Descendants and realized no one is likely to beat George Clooney’s deep and touching performance. OK, maybe I also got interested because I am sick of hearing about Herman Cain and Rick Perry in that other contest; will everyone please stop taking those buffoons seriously? But mostly it was Clooney.

He chose the part well. Matt King, living in paradisiacal Hawaii, has a wife in a coma after an accident, a feisty 10-year-old daughter and a college-age daughter who lets him know why she’s been so angry at her mother: “Mom was cheating on you.” You can see that much in the trailers.

What you don’t instantly see is how beautifully Alexander Payne directs the film, or how gracefully the parts fit together. There’s a semi-comic strand about Clooney’s character looking for the Other Man, and a socially-conscious strand about his family’s plan to sell the beautiful, undeveloped land they inherited. That’s a pretty complete package.

Clooney never overacts; even his eye-popping comic turn in O Brother Where Art Thou fit the Coen Brothers’ stylized approach. But he is especially subtle here, as he was in his last Oscar-nominated leading role, in Up In the Air.

But let’s be cynical about awards for a minute – or, let’s go all in and make that for the season. I’m not saying Clooney and Payne calculated this role as awards bait; I’m not saying they didn’t. But I will say it fits every criteria. Clooney gets to cry and grieve and be droll. The film is mainstream and accessible but not depressing. And there is nothing working against it.

Who can beat him? Brad Pitt is terrific in Moneyball, but his baseball-manager’s role doesn’t really have awards depth. Michael Fassbender is searing as the sex addict in Shame, and I can believe that Oscar voters have gotten younger and less fusty, but are they really going to vote for a film so raw it’s been rated NC-17? Moneyball’s too cold, Shame is too hot, but The Descendants is just right.

There’s plenty I haven’t seen yet, including Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover; he seems to get nominated easily, just for playing not-Leo. Some other actor could make me change my mind. But for now, Clooney’s deeply realized performance in this straight-down-the-middle film makes it his Oscar to lose.

Composer Hans Zimmer Sitting Out Oscar Race

Composer Hans Zimmer Sitting Out Oscar Race. Hans Zimmer is apparently tired of the game of musical chairs surrounding the Academy Awards race. The Oscar-winning composer told The Hollywood Reporter Saturday that he is not submitting any of his work for consideration. While he considers being nominated a big deal, Zimmer said he’d just rather observe this year.

“As soon as you get nominated, and I don’t care who you are — there are certainly people of better character than me — it all goes crazy,” Zimmer told THR. “You get the phone call at five o’clock and after that you have to do the interviews and then do the parties and meet all these people and do all these things. It’s disruptive, and I think it would be more interesting to observe it for a year.”

Zimmer’s eligible scores this year include “Rango,” and the sequels “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and the upcoming “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.”

“It’s not like I’m not proud of ‘Rango,’ because I think it’s a pretty amazing little movie,” Zimmer told THR. “But another thing is I don’t really have (original) scores this year because I’ve done sequels. I don’t want to make a big thing out of it, but I just thought ‘no Ronni — I’ll take a break,’” Zimmer said of his decision to sit out the awards race.

Zimmer has been nominated for eight Oscars, and won for Best Original Score in 1995 for “The Lion King.” The composer used to represented by late publicist Ronni Chasen, who was tragically shot to death last year. Zimmer currently is composing the score to “The Dark Knight Rises.”

Hollywood Awards Predicts Oscars?

Can Hollywood Awards predict Oscar winners? The Oscars are still a few months away, but that doesn't stop movie fans from handicapping their favorites. And the Hollywood Film Awards, handed out earlier at the at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, may be a good harbinger of awards to come.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," based on the last novel in J.K. Rowling's series, was named Movie of the Year. George Clooney took home the actor award for "The Descendants" and Michelle Williams won the actress award for playing Marilyn Monroe in "My Week with Marilyn."

Both Clooney and Williams have been getting Oscar buzz this fall as have some of the other award winners.

Most actress and actresses even go as far as wearing millions of dollars worth of dresses and accessories, enough to merit a full scale security detail.

This means we all get to see all out favorite stars as they head in to the Kodak Theatre, all dressed up and ready to face the music.
