"National Geographic
Explorer-in-Residence" -- and "Titanic" movie Oscar winner -- James Cameron will
lead a new two-hour special called "Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron"
on April 8 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking.
Described as the "ultimate cold-case
investigation into the tragedy," Cameron's NatGeo special will unfold on a sound
stage with a 42-foot replica of the ship in the background, as Cameron gathers
the world's foremost Titanic experts -- engineers, naval architects, artists and
historians -- to try to come up with the ultimate explanation of why the
unsinkable ship sank in April 1912.
On April 9, National Geographic Channel
will air "Save the Titanic with Bob Ballard," in which Ballard, the man who
discovered the Titanic's final resting place in 1985, travels to Ireland to meet
some of the men who helped build the ship and discusses how the ship's remains
are in danger from looters, among other threats.
"If the Titanic is not protected and
there's no guard on duty, it will get stripped," Ballard said in a statement.
"It'll get stripped until all the jewels have been taken off the old lady's
body."National Geographic magazine will devote a cover story to the Titanic
anniversary; Cameron's 1997 "Titanic" film, which won 11 Oscars, will be
re-released on April 4, including IMAX 3D showings. I think it may be the best
news to the fans of Titanic.Fully expect.
