It’s a pity you’re in South Africa… but we can always get it transferred if you’re interested in sending it transcontinental. 😉

Hi again!
I’ve just unspooled and checked my trailer and surprise - it’s the same version as the one posted here. It doesn’t feature the additional Digital Domain shots, as seen in the later 4-minute trailers. Neat discovery, but I do wish I could’ve contributed! The shot of old Rose, dissolving after she says “I’ll be damned” is a giveaway, this dissolve doesn’t appear in any other released trailers that I’ve seen - it’s usually just a straight cut to the next shot.

The only single difference I can see though is the framing in this one shot of Kate (seen here) where we see less of her head and more of her shoulders.

It’s a gem, all the same - I love new discoveries like this (it’s a rarity, trust!)

I’ve actually got a full trailer reel for Titanic, it’s the 4-minute version…but I’m going to have to check it to see if it’s this exact same version, or the more common one that features the extra Digital Domain shots. I don’t have a projector so haven’t ever played it, but I’ll have to carefully look at some of the shots and find out. I always thought there was only one long version.

Trailer:

Amazing! Love this 😄
Interesting to note, that this must be a rare alternate trailer since there are a number of substituted shots (mostly during the sinking scenes, in the trailer shown here) when compared to the other 4 minute theatrical trailer. This one here is more in line with the 5-minute ShoWest version. Very cool indeed!

Oh yes, I see! Apologies, I totally misunderstood. Just finding g this so extremely fascinating, and grateful that it’s being done at all👍🏻.

I live in South Africa, it’s not likely that we will get a 20th anniversary screening anywhere (with 35mm at least!)

• it’s a bit too niche for the film culture over here I’m afraid. I could be proven wrong though so I’ll keep an eye out, for sure!

Hello! I haven’t adjusted the colours or brightness / contrast at all - straight screenshot from vlc player up here👍🏻

Use postimage.io and copy the ‘Markdown’ code.

Great, thank you for that!
Here are the comparison shots; Slightly different cropping, love the raw “filmy” feel to the scans. Marvelous.

Glad to have you here.

Glad to be here, thank you!

The release will have pretty minimum work done.

Most excellent 😃

I’d rather you didn’t buy film strips from cutters as they destroy prints. A lot of them come from trailers and not prints (thankfully), but I would love to be able to scan the July-release trailer if we can find one. 😃

Ah yes, the 5-minute Sho-West trailer is a gem - so many alternate shots in that one, I love it! WOuld be swell to have an actual high quality scan of it - if I’m correct it has only been relesased digitally on the special edition DVD’s a few years ago?

Here’s my photobucket link to the comparison I mentioned in my first post - I’m not sure how to share the image directly here on the forum though??

Hi all,

My name’s Dale and I’ve literally just signed up on OT.com, so I could comment and join in on this discussion about this TITANIC preservation project - what a bloody marvelous project it is! I’ve just this evening seen the preview video, and cannot get over how fantastic it looks.

I actually really rather enjoy the little bits of dirt, specks of dust and such that are present (I’ve also just seen the footage from reel 10, with those few little flaws on the frames). Would it be possible to release an uncleaned, raw version as well? I do hope this isn’t presumptuous of me - I’m honestly grateful that this project is even happening…I’m one of the rabid Titanic fans, mentioned above 😛 I’ll own it!

I’ve been collecting individual 35mm film cells from this release (pre-2012) for years, 5 frames per strip, so it’d be a TREAT to see this entire film released as a fan preservation project, with colour corrections and cleaning up done to match the actual physical film frame colours.

I’ve also done a quick frame size comparison, from the reel 10 sample and the Blu-Ray…I’m just not sure how to insert an image here! But it looks like we’ve got a bit more information, image-wise on this project which is great!
