The epochal masterpiece of our era, the film “Titanic,” has established itself as a timeless legend and retains its relevance to this day. With numerous awards including an Oscar, the film remains one of the most popular and critically acclaimed films of all time.
James Cameron, the director and creator of this work, is appreciated worldwide for his cinematographic achievements.
James Cameron devoted a lot of time and care to the casting for his film. While casting the lead role went smoothly, Cameron saw Kate Winslet as the perfect fit for the role of Rose from the start.
However, the choice for the lead role was not without its challenges. The director originally favored Christian Bale for the role of Jack. The idea of a combination of two British actors seemed promising to him.
The difficulty, however, was that Jack had to be an American, and therefore Cameron needed an American actor. Eventually he decided that the role should be played by Matthew McConaughey, who agreed to work with him.
But then Leonardo DiCaprio showed up at the casting. His charisma and talent amazed everyone. At that moment, Cameron realized that DiCaprio would perfectly embody the role of Jack.
