The titanic was the best and the brightest of the whitestar line, and she set sail april 11 1912. Passengers could enjoy every luxury onboard; turkishbaths a swiming pool, cafes. And best of all, the ship was considered unsinkable, the reason: the hull of the titanic was comprised of 16 compartments, it was designed to stay afloat even if 3 or possibly 4 compartments were flooded. bot on the night of april 14'th the ship hit an ice berg, and six of those compartments filled with water. The titanic went down in a little more than 2 and a half hours killing 1500 people.
Construction of the Fox Baja Studios, a state-of-the-art facility where most of "Titanic" would be filmed, began May 30, 1996. A scant 100 days later, the facility was completed, and through the combined efforts of a massive team of artists, craftsmen and engineers, the nearly full-size, 775-foot long exterior set of the ship Titanic loomed majestically against the Mexican coastline.
Fox Studios Baja is located 3 miles south of Rosarito, just off the free road, between the 1-D Autopista (Mexico's newest highway) and the ocean. The facility has over 9,000 square feet of permanent office space, 70,000 square feet of enclosed stage space and more than 90,000 square feet of construction workshops, storage areas, and physical plant facilities.
Check out this trailer for Martin Scorsese's billionaire Howard Hughes biopic starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The Aviator is a great film score based on young Hughes' life as he turns a small fortune into a massive one, making films in Hollywood and expanding from a small tools business into industry and aviation. Managing to romance Hollywood stars like Ava Gardner and Katherine Hepburn along the way.
