question of the day: What movie event would you be willing to participate in a re-creation of?
I suppose this was inevitable. From The Independent: Watch out for the icebergs... cruise recreating Titanic's fateful voyage is sold out I wonder, will the cruise offer an authentic steerage experience as well? Or will it all be first class? (Nope: looks like no steerage. Should we cry foul on this endeavor?) Of course, the Titanic’s (interrupted) maiden voyage was a genuine historical event, but it’s hard to imagine that there’d be so much interest in a do-over of it if not for James Cameron’s epic and record-breakingly successful movie. And it’s totally impossible not to guess that someone will re-create Rose’s “I’m flying!” and Jack’s “I’m the king of the world!” moments. Perhaps needless to say, an iceberg collision and sinking is not on the re-creation’s agenda... but then again, it wasn’t on the original journey’s agenda, either. Questions of money aside, would you be interested in retracing the Titanic’s journey? What movie event would you be willing to participate in a re-creation of? Whether that movie event is based on a real event or not. The Battle of Helm’s Deep (minus the horrific injuries, naturally)? King Kong’s showcasing in New York City? What else?
