And this will be �Titanic� as you�ve never seen it before, digitally remastered at 4k and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike.�
�This new presentation of Paramount�s top-grossing film is particularly special because 2012 is the 100th anniversary of our studio. Paramount has had the pleasure of introducing audiences to some of the all-time classics of cinema during that century of moviemaking and we cannot think of a better way to mark the occasion than with this re-release of �Titanic�,� said Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures.
