Best Book for fans of the Movie!

If you are a fan of the movie "Titanic", I would have to say that you would be crazy not to own this screenplay! It's illustrated with tons of pictures from the movie, which alone would be worth it. But it also shows deleted scenes and lines that weren't in the final cut for the movie. I had a great time, looking through the book and finding all the things that were different from the movie! It also gives good information on behind-the-scenes action, even about ad-libs the actors had. You would be surprised at what they were! I found this book to be even better than "James Cameron's Titanic" even though that was good, also. But if your a true fan, this should definately be a book in your collection!

A Keepsake!

'Titanic : James Cameron's Illustrated Screenplay' is an excellent book! A must-have for any movie buff, Titanic fan, etc. The information and reference material in this book is wondorous! You get the *entire* script, even the deleted scenes, with many little notes, additions, rewrittem scenes, explainations, an extensive and exclusive interview with James Cameron, and over three hundred pictures, most of which are very original and not often printed! The appearance of this book makes it very desirable and collectible! The cover is beautiful and made from quality paper. The text, fonts, colors, and pictures inside this book set the mood and make this book very unique and precious. Buy this book, it's a must-have!!!!

Beautiful, Informative . . .

This is the ultimate book for any fan of James Cameron, movie junkies, or the movie "Titanic" to own. As a fan of all three, I absolutely cherish this book. It contains vivid photographs, the entire screenplay--including highlights of scenes cut from the script, scenes filmed but cut from the final production, and scenes and lines added to the movie that weren't even in the script.For instance, the script's original ending is entirely different than the ending in the movie, but if you want to know, you have to buy the book. Originally, Fabrizio's death scene was different as well, and there was a scene cut from the movie of him saying goodbye to his girlfriend Helga. The book includes pictures of most of these scenes.The book also contains commentary about certain aspects of the over-all production of the film. It's a very fascinating book that any fan of the movie will adore. It deserves 5+ stars, in my opinion.

The REAL Titanic

This book far exceeded my expectations! A must buy for ANY Titanic enthusiast. The pictures inside are extroadinary-they include lost scenes from the gymnasium and ones including Mr and Mrs Strauss. I kept on wondering why some powerful scenes were cut from the final film as I read, but you can decide for yourself. The lost scenes also explain a helluva lot. Also it contains the REAL ending that was cut for budget purposes....

SO MUCH MORE TO KNOW!

Titanic: The Illustated Screenplay was insightful and a fun read. There is so much more to know about this One billion dollar epic than just whats on the screen. There were countless deleted lines and scenes. In fact, the ening is very strange compared to the on you see on screen. Overall, this is a great book. Pictures, and exclusive James Cameron interview, how shots were made, and the FULL shooting script. What more can you ask for? If your a movie buff, or just a fan of the movie, this is the one you're looking for. GET IT!
