James Cameron recently revealed new information this month • Date (December 2023) - a trick he deployed on the set of Titanic, with the director admitting he cast shorter actors to emphasise the size of the ship.
The 1997 film broke numerous critical and commercial records during its release, with its impact still enduring over 25 years after its release.
The director spoke with The LA Times ahead of the upcoming 4K remaster for the sweeping epic, revealing that he occasionally used his ingenuity amidst all the meticulous planning.
“We only cast short extras so it made our set look bigger. Anybody above 5’8, we didn’t cast them. It’s like we got an extra million dollars of value out of casting," he revealed, before talking about other aspects of production.

Technically speaking, as the bridge is normally the highest internal point on a ship's structure then everyone on a cruise is sleeping under a bridge.
