James Cameron Makes Titanic To Finance Dive

Director James Cameron said in a Playboy interview before Titanic's 1997 release that he made the film chiefly to finance and participate in a diving expedition to the shipwreck, not because he initially intended to make the movie. His personal dives supplied footage for the film, which grossed $2.264 billion worldwide, held the box-office record for over a decade, and won 11 Oscars including Best Director and Best Picture.
