This special about the making of “Titanic” is being released to coincide with the Oscar-winning film’s remastered theatrical release on February 10.
The Nat Geo press release reads:
An update of “Titanic: 24 Years Later with James Cameron,” the new documentary features the surprising story of how the long-lost ship was found, explores historical questions about how the Titanic sank, and digs into the debate about whether additional lifeboats on board would have saved more lives. In a new segment, Cameron adds a postscript to his fictional retelling of the tragedy. After hearing fans insist Jack didn’t have to die that night, he gathers hypothermia experts and mounts tests to determine, once and for all, whether both Jack and Rose could have fit on the raft and survived.
In as sneak peak of the special that aired on “Good Morning America” on February 2, the stunt performers ran three tests. First, they tried to see if both of the could fit on the door. Spoiler alert – they cannot, at least not for this special. A 2012 episode of “Mythbusters” actually argues otherwise.
Secondly, they tried to see if boht of them could keep their upper bodies on the door to protect their vital organs. That one was more successful and Cameron admits that in that scenario, Jack could have “made it pretty long, like hours.”
The third test was similar to the second scenario, but in this one, Rose gave Jack her life jacket to help with the cold and Cameron said, “Jack might have lived, but there’s a lot of variables. I think his thought process was ‘I’m not gonna do one thing that jeopardizes her.’ And that’s 100 percent in character.”
At the 2023 Television Critics Association winter press tour, Cameron told critics that he thinks they’ve settled the fan debate — he also said that the piece of wood is not, in fact, a door.
“A new investigation we’ve just done will settle this fan-based question about Jack and Rose and a piece of floating debris, which everyone calls a door. It’s, technically, not a door. It’s a piece of wood paneling from the first-class cabin,” said the director.
He added, “We weren’t trying to prove or disprove anything, we’re just trying to say, ‘If you do this, does it make it better?’ Across four tests, we came to some pretty hard and fast conclusions.”
“Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron” premieres on Sunday, February 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time on the National Geographic Channel.
