Synopsis:

The story of a passionate but doomed romance between a poor, young artist named Jack and an upper-class woman named Rose, aboard the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. The Extended Voyage aims to present James Cameron's film at it's best and longest, with more than 30 new and extended scenes, and over 30 minutes of footage. More Titanic action, romance, drama and iceberg!

Intentions:

After realising that the film is over 25 years old, and watching the film on Blu-Ray, I wanted to do something with it. I didn't have any issue with the modern day scenes, or the switching POVs or the simplistic character tropes, so I didn't want to cut or do anything drastic. Could I do an extended cut? ADM and Q2 had already done this years before me, so what could I do differently? After comparing the Blu-Ray to the DVD, Laserdisc and earlier releases, I saw that there was large differences in colour-grading. The BR was very yellow/green, and so I got to work regrading the film scene by scene and sometimes shot by shot, to my own preferences. After that was done, I started reintegrating the deleted scenes from the ground up, and looked to Q2's edit and where I could do it differently in regards to scene arrangement. I watched the film, made more changes, and was done!

Change List:

- added Rose talking to her maid about the ship, and Cal awkwardly trying to be romantic - added Rose having a breakdown in her room, before trying to jump off the ship into the sea (my favourite deleted scene of all) - added additional transition back to modern day, with Rose leaving while Brock tries to hear more of her story - added Brock getting told about the investors pulling out, and talking to Lizzie about how much he has sunk (haha) into this expedition - added Old Rose transitioning back into 1912, as Young Rose heads into the third class to find Jack, as Fabrizio flirts with a Norwegian girl named Helga - added Rose talking to Jack about her dreams as they walk around the deck, and she poses for a man with a film camera - added Jack walking Rose back to first class, as they sing, and talk about the stars - added Rose, Ruth and Cal being toured around the ship, stopping in the gym - added Fabrizio and Tommy helping Jack sneak into the first class section - moved the bridge scene of the tour to after Jack steals the hat and coat - added extended scene of Jack and Rose running from Lovejoy, and some new exposition about his past - added Jack and Rose sharing a kiss in the engine room - added the gents in the communiction room contacting the nearby real-life ship, The Californian - added Molly Brown in the dining room as the iceberg scrapes the ship - added Jack and Rose goofing around with the ice on the ship's deck - added the gents in the communication room discussing sending out an SOS - added Ismay panicking and trying to get on a boat - added Molly Brown showing the men on the boat how the rowing should be done - added the Stauss couple (old people seen later in bed) declaring they won't try and get on a boat - added Rose being given a blanket by an irish man, while they realise they're stuck in third class - added extended scene reuniting with Tommy and Fabrizio, as the latter has to say goodbye to Helga - added the Captain calling back Molly Brown's boat, with the officier refusing to turn back - added first class passengers in the gym, with Astor showing the effectiveness of the lifevests - added Lovejoy and Cal walking the deck, as the Chief Baker throws chairs overboard for passengers to later use as floation devices - added Cal seeing a number of dogs loose on the ship - added a passenger giving Rose a letter addressed to his family, telling her to give it to them as he knows he won't survive - added the infamous action scene between Jack and Lovejoy in the sinking dining room, leading to Lovejoy's headwound seen as the ship splits - added one of the gents in the communication room refusing to leave his post, in hopes that they will recieve a responce - added first class passengers Guggenheim and Astor saying goodbye to one another - added the fate of Cora (little third class girl seen in earlier deleted scenes) and her parents - added another passenger trying to get onto Rose's debris, and Jack threatening him - added Fifth Officer Lowe discovering a man had disguised himself as a woman to get onto the lifeboat - added additional shot of the upturned boat, covered in passengers, just before being rescued - added extended resuce by the Carpathian, with Rose being attended to, while Ismay has to face all the survivors - added extended scene with Cal searching the third class survivors for Rose - added alternate exposition about Cal's fate after the ship sinking - added Old Rose comparing herself to a butterfly, in the way she changed after the sinking - added barbeque celebrations on Brock's ship after realising they won't be finding the Heart of the Ocean - added extended scene with Brock and Lizzie, with him throwing away his celebratory cigar - no alternate ending!

Additional Notes:

The entire edit is in HD and 5.1 Surround. I don't usually do 5.1 but the deleted scenes are surround so the edit is too!
