Could use a remake.

Agreed, a great story. The crash scene was done extremely well, I thought, and the screenplay suffered most from poor dialogue. Ironically, a lot of it was lifted directly from the book, but the film, being a visual medium, could not provide the context the book did, and as a result some of he lines come off either silly or wooden or worse.

The film will never be "remade" though, as I explained in a post on an earlier thread, which I will link to below. The last two paragraphs explain why permission to remake it will not be given.

I think a lot of the actors in that film did a nice job (some didn't), but I didn't love the movie. The part up to the crash was very good, but the rest was iffy. The special that The History Channel did is much better, as are the extras on the Alive anniversary edition and in Stranded.

The beef I have with Titanic is the one of the same beefs I have here. They left out REAL things - tragic, dramatic things - and added in stupid stuff that didn't happen because...why? Because they don't think the ACTUAL story is dramatic enough?

God forbid they just tell the real story.

And Ethan Hawke as Nando...ugh. Please.

A remake would be welcome IF and only if it were done well and true to the actual story.

They should remake it with Uruguay actors or at least latinos (like from Argentina they have the same accent, other latinos have a noticeably different accent. But it'd be better than Americans!) But of course Hollywood wants a familiar face otherwise no one will watch it..

So go on. Kiss me. Kill me. Do something.

This is the remake!

I always enjoyed this film. I first saw this on an airport lounge when I was a kid about to fly halfway across the world.


There's a remake that I did not expect to be as good as it was. I'm glad they focused on Numa I stead of Nando. Numa was not featured here and the one who kicked the window open after the avalanche was Numa and now Nando. And it was here that he was injured.


I'm glad a non American made it and stuck closer to the truth and characters of the survivors and those who died. If it was remade in Hollywood today, they would've made them all atheists and agnostics and made them all woke wasps. They did the same with Tolkien.
