Titanic Out On Video Soon

Wed., June 10, 1998

Los Angeles Daily News

If you’re tired of paying $7 to see “Titanic” - and Leo - for the sixth, seven, eighth time, be of good cheer. James Cameron’s ubiquitous love story will dock in video stores and retail outlets Sept. 1 with the consumer-friendly price tag of $19.95.

The movie, which is nearing the $600 million mark at the box office, will be available initially only on VHS cassette in both pan-and-scan and wide-screen formats. A Spanish subtitled version of the film will also be sold.

No plans have been made for a DVD release. Likewise, the much-rumored longer “director’s cut” version of the film seems to be more myth than fact.

“This is the director’s cut,” Cameron said of the 194-minute version of the film that has been playing in theaters since December.

One news outlet reported that Cameron is working on a five-hour version of the film, but Cameron said that was news to him.
