Synopsis:

This is the courageous attempt to create a version of Titanic, which is bearable for men. It’s the story about Jack, who with a lucky hand won a ticket – on the Titanic.

Intentions:

Titanic is the most successful movie of all time (currently). It is about one of the worst catastrophes that ever happened, it is about human arrogance and the cruelty of nature. And it is a about a love that was not supposed to happen. The reaction, when you talk to people about this movie are pretty interesting. Women love it, men hate it. The reason fo rthat is the first 90 minutes of the movie, which are about the treasure hunt nowadays and old Rose’s memories of her life on the Titanic, featuring a long and detailed story about the rich and beautiful, yet so unhappy first class people on this ship. When the iceberg finally arrived and the drama was about to start, it was all too late already: men were annoyed or sleeping. But this drama was really well filmed. The entire movie is really well played and there is so much atmosphere in it, that it would be a waste if men could never enjoy this at all. Therefore this one needed a fanedit and hopefully it can do what the original couldn’t: entertain men.

Change List:

This fanedit is supposed to change the perspective of the movie and it does so by focusing on Jack, the courageous young man, who won a ticket on the Titanic as a 3rd class passenger, only to find the love of his life, which he was willing to risk everything for. To change perspective we took out all references to old Rose, all her voice overs, all the treasure hunting for the necklace and most of all: all that happens to Rose until Jack and her are a couple. Since our edit focuses solely on Jack, there also isn’t much about the Titanic. No machine room, no captain’s discussions, no crew talk. All of these are great scenes, but they just didn’t fit to our movie. We included 9 of the deleted scenes, which add more character to Jack and also some more adventurous events. Now this is a dramatic love story about a true hero on the Titianic, about his struggle to survive. Nothing more and nothing less. It is a completely different watching experience and we really tried to take care, so nothing important is missing.

Additional Notes:

- 9 of the deleted scenes were reintegrated. Among these are: - Rose visits 3rd class. - Rose and Jack after the party. - kissing in the machine room. - hunted by Lovejoy. - surviving in the icy water. - Old Rose was completely removed. This version is about Jack. - The treasure hunt for the necklace was completely removed. Without old Rose this was not needed. - All Rose scenes from the beginning were removed, where Jack is not present. Later on, when they get closer, Rose gets scenes alone. - All scenes from inside of the Titanic, where Jack isn’t present are removed, as well as all scenes of other passengers, including their tragic demise, when the Titanic sinks. This was done because of perspective reasons. This edit stays true to Jack. So there are not even the deaths or destinies of rather close people shown (Fabrizio, Tommy, Cal, Ruth, Molly, The Captain) - At several different occasions music from Harry Gregson Williams’ soundtrack “Chronicles of Narnia” is added. It fits perfectly.
