Cameron Does IMAX
I first heard about Jim Cameron doing an IMAX film on the Titanic on slashdot about a year ago. Seems he and his brother had come up with some amazing new ROVs exclusively to produce vivid images of deep-sea wrecks. These ROVs used a revolutionary fiber-optic cable system that would allow them to go inside wrecks without endangering themselves or humans.
About six months later I got to see this tech in action with Cameron's Discovery show on the Bismark. It was even more impressive in real life than what I'd imagined. But what about Titanic? What had happened to that?
Well, turns out he's just not finished with that one yet. Looks like it will premiere in England (lucky bastards), but will eventually come to the new Air & Space annex over at Dulles. Mark your calendars, and keep your eyes open. This one's gonna be amazing.
James Cameron - yet another spectacular Canadian.

He has yet to make something I haven't liked.

Let's take the kids (it'll probably be ready when yours would want to see it).
Scott -
The Maryland Science Center actually had a red carpet premiere of this film last night, and the movie will start showing there on April 11. I plan on doubling up the movie with the O's game against Tampa the following weekend.
