I think this is important because it's Cameron's franchise and he's ultimately responsible for the end result.
I heard Cameron guest directed one scene. You can tell it was his scene because it's in 3D and the script digresses sharply into a Pocahontas driven story.
I'm not sure, but newcomer Shane Van Dyke juggles both the direction and acting like the Insane Clown Posse juggles magnets.
shareJames Cameron doesn't derserve to be apart of The Asylum family. His skills as a director are simply not up to par to the host of quality we offer, thus he wont be taking any part in Titanic 2.
you must be a dumbass to think this is a true sequel to Titanic 1!
I have a question for The Asylum: Is the Asylum company actually a genuine insane asylum? Because it seems the people that make or watch this stupifying drivel are mentally ill.
shareYou obviously prefer eye popping visual effects over clever storytelling and character development, which is why retards whine about the Asylum because the quality of the CGI isn't up to standard with ya big name studio productions. In result of this, King_Kossie, you don't have the intelligent/knowledge to notice a good film when you see one.
shareYou obviously prefer eye popping visual effects over clever storytelling and character development,
Like I mentioned in the other therad, The Asylum have been running for a long time, which means the naysayers (or retards) like you for example; can't judge them for being crap when fincecially there very strong, and will in this case continue to pump out quality films even if the CGI isn't great.
shareWell of course you're going to make money if you churn out a Roland Emmerich disaster movies for $200 bucks, and even those movies are trash. Mimicking films with a mind would be a good start. Go on, proceed in telling me that I should "go back to the 2012 board retard", because that really works.
shareWow you really are stupid. I never said anything about the 2012 boards, I don't know where the hell you got that from . Anyway, The Asylum may be known for making low-budget mockbustors of big name Hollywood productions, but that's starting to change now with the likes of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, The 7 Adventures of Sinbad, Mega Piranha, 6 Guns & Princess of Mars. They've all made money and do not cash-in on mimicking blockbuster hits.. I think a couple might be novel adaptions but that's it.
sharehahahaha I can't believe there are actually people out there who like Asylum! They are a horrible company that make ripoff of films that have already come out. Not an original thought has come from anyone in the company's mind! And before you say anything, no I don't like the big Hollywood films, but I also don't like the sh!t that Asylum spews. No, I like good directors such as the Coen brothers, Gus Van Sant, Ingmar Bergman, Charlie Kaufman, Billy Wilder, etc. These people are original. They tell stories that have full developed characters and have something personal to themselves. If you think Asylum actually is good you need to watch some great films.

Aylum make terrible films, even if they aren't mockbusters. But they're entertaining as hell and I wouldn't want the company to disappear anytime soon! Can't wait to see 'Titanic 2' and have a good laugh.
"It's better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it"
I hope they disappear because all they're doing is trying to make a quick buck rather than actually do anything worth while.

Each Asylum production has a unique sense of quality to it, even if they are clones. Anyone who thinks otherwise knows jack sh!t on the components that make up a good film.
No, you are obviously the one who knows nothing. These people steal other people's ideas, make them low budget and have them look horrible so losers like you will think there is something more concrete behind it. But really these are a group of jackasses who are just trying to make a quick buck. I know film and I could school you on it any day, I would watch what you say.

I continue to be entertained by Asylum films. I treat them as what the are. Entertainment and maybe a thumb-your-nose at Hollywood film. But I really wish people would stop having a go at Asylum concerning originality. Titanic, Sherlock Holmes. Do you think these were brand new ideas.
shareThat is semi-true. The fact that they are able to create films with zero-quality, is a quality within itself. I've enjoyed many of their films, whether they be clones or originals, however I was sadly disappoined by 'Titanic 2'. I thought it'd have a bit more pace to it.

Hey. What do you think about Uve Boll masterpieces?
shareHow is there anything quality about giving people without the knowledge of cinematography cameras, and people without knowledge to direct a movie the position of director, and the cast of the jersey shore acting in all their videos?
share[deleted]
HAHAHAHA, that's a good one! You have such good tastes Shane Van Dyke! We know it's you! You are an embarrassment to your grandfather and to the primate species.
shareThe Asylum made a TITANIC II. Why would you even need to hear anything else about it? Oh, here's an original idea, let's make a story where the Titanic sinks, only it's really a modern ship named after the original ship! THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
Lame.
I have a question for The Asylum: Is the Asylum company actually a genuine insane asylum?
Cameron had nothing to do with this crappy made for DVD rip off. What on earth gives you that impression? Just because he directed the 1997 version means nothing.

Since when has history been a 'franchise'?
The church may shout but Darwin roars
Since when has history been a 'franchise'?
what about all the titanic films released before cameron's titanic? some before he was even born? do they belong to him since he apparently owns the 'titanic franchise'? get the *beep* outta here
Simpson 10, terrorists 8
Yo, finders keepers. Nobody even knew what the Titanic was before Cameron came along. He discovered it, brought it back to life, and to the attention of the general public. Before the movie, the only people that knew about the "Titanic" were maritime experts and people over the age of 103.
It was a historical event destined to be forgotten (see also: WWII before Inglourious Basterds, Korean War before M*A*S*H). Cameron brought it back, therefore he can lay claim to anything in the "Titanic" name.
when i saw the titanic 2 i thought it was going to be that fake movie trailer up on youtube finally being made...
to be honest, i've gone 17 years w/o hearing about asylum films or whatever...i don't think i'll waste my time or money seeing any of them...
i'd rather see the fake movie trailer than this
LMAO @ Asylum-Fan, trying to sound so educated in their posts and calling people "retards", but using improper punctuation and spelling in practically every post.
LOL!!!

"Nobody even knew what the Titanic was before Cameron came along"???
It's one of the biggest maritime disasters ever, and the subject of dozens of films before Cameron's Titanic.
Excuse me, Cameron "discovered" the Titanic wreck site? That's odd, because I could of sworn that the wreck of the Titanic was finally located on 1 September 1985 by Dr Robert Ballard, a former US Navy Commander and a professor of oceanography who is well-known his work in underwater archaeology. Not only is he known for his discovery of the Titanic's wreck site in 1985, he went on to discover the location of the wreck of the German WW2 battleship Bismark in 1989, and the wreck of the WW2 aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in 1998.
You, "Who_Needs_Remote_Control", are a complete idiot to think Cameron discovered the Titanic.

Nicely said.
Now can you say the same in the court before 12 juries.
I'll oppose you by saying that, f.e. in Europe they remember the WWII better, then you do (especially in the countries of ex-Union), that perhaps my grandfather was fighting there (or even died there, of maybe he was a jew), so it is a family thing, and you cann't forbid me, tho file my Shiller's list, or my Glorious Bastards, as i want to show the horror of WWII.
Now guess, do you have chance against me?
I think the court will just label you as ignorant. And will rule against you, as you cann't copyright historical events. Characters - yes, work of fiction - yes...
But not history... nor you can earn extra on that.
So Cameron won't get any money from Ghostbusters 2 (well, they had Titanic there as well).

I lol at the thought that someone believes cameron owns the right to a ships name from 1912!
Now that, I'd watch!
Just done a quick blog post on this. http://nerd-like-me.blogspot.com/2010/07/titanic-2.html
Got a soft spot for films like this. They're obviously crappy and fall into the "so bad they're good' category but there's something to be said for people who can actually get something made.
Just watch it with a beer and a sense of humour!

How can a single film about an historical event which was already featured in two movies long before Cameron got his version into pre-production be considered a "franchise"? His ego is legendary, but even Cameron wouldn't claim creative ownership over the world's most famous shipping disaster.
share[deleted]
Why would James Cameron need to be consulted for input? Titanic is an historical event not a story made up by Cameron.
shareLol...why would you say that Cameron owns the francise on the idea of Titanic? How do you know that Titanic 2 is a sequel to Cameron's Titanic and not one of the other Titanic movies made throughout the ages?
shareCameron only showed up on set to make sure the film stole enough things from Dances with Wolves.
I wanna know if The Asylum sent Cameron a copy of the DVD, and if so, what he had to say about it.
