Since the debut of the director’s 1997 cult classic romance-drama, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as star-crossed lovers aboard the Titanic, fans have stubbornly argued that Jack’s death was preventable. Speaking with the Toronto Sun, while promoting his highly anticipated movie, Avatar: The Way of Water, Cameron revealed: “We have since done a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert reproducing the raft from the movie.” The process of which will be released in a National Geographic February special, in tandem with the traditional Valentine’s Day cinematic re-release of Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in ‘Titanic' “We took two stunt people that were the exact body mass of Kate and Leo,” Cameron explained of the process, “and we put sensors all over them and inside them, and we put them in ice water, and we tested to see whether they could have survived by this method or that method.” “And the answer was that there was no way they could both survive, only one could survive,” he shared.
