These days people are talking about ‘Titanic’ again on the first anniversary of the tragedy of the Titan, the submarine that had the objective of reaching the remains of the famous vessel and that had the same James Cameron as one of his biggest critics. Among the most talked about topics are the jokes about the possibility that Cameron make a sequel to one of his great successes, but the truth is that ‘Titanic 2’ It already exists and can also be watched for free streaming through PlutoTV or Run:Time. You also have it available on Amazon Prime Video.
Putting a lot of nose into it
Obviously, that ‘Titanic 2’ is not an unknown continuation of the epic romantic drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, but a much more modest production by Asylum, which wanted to take advantage of the popularity of ‘Titanic’ without including anyone from the original team. In fact, the Asylum movie is already years old, it was released back in 2010.
‘Titanic II’ is written, directed and stars Shane Van Dykegrandson of the legendary Dick Van Dyke, the male star of ‘Mary Poppins’ who at 98 years old continues to win awards. The story of this fake sequel to ‘Titanic’ takes place 100 years after the first ship sank.
As also happened in real life, they decide that it is a great idea to repeat the adventure with a new Titanic that aims to cover the opposite route, departing from New York towards Southampton. The trip doesn’t take long to get complicatedof course, and history repeats itself but even bigger.
Of course, the technical finish pales in comparison to James Cameron’s film, which not only became the highest-grossing film in history (until the same director surpassed himself again with ‘Avatar’) but also swept the Oscars with 11 statuettes (equaling a record that has not been surpassed). It’s no surprise because Asylum productions usually have a budget ridiculous compared to the Hollywood average.
However, if you look at its cast, you will be in for a surprise, since one of the main characters is played by Bruce Davisona popular face that many will remember for having given life to Senator Robert Kelly in the first ‘X-Men’.
‘Titanic 2’ is still an anecdote for the very curious but, be careful, it was successful enough for years later to make a movie. sequel titled ‘Titanic 666’ in which elements of supernatural horror were introduced.
