Last we heard, James Cameron and Fox were targeting the “spring of 2012″ to re-release Titanic in 3D.  We now know that the spring month in question is April.  The news was mentioned in a tribute to Gloria Stuart, who played “Old Rose” in the film and celebrated her 100th birthday on July 4th.  April 2012 marks a centennial anniversary of its own, as the RMS Titanic attempted to traverse the Atlantic from April 12-14, 1912.  In addition to the historical timing, the intended month of release (nearly two years away) gives Cameron and Co. plenty of time to perfect the finer details of the 3D conversion.

Notably, it was only this year that Cameron’s own Avatar finally toppled the 1997 disaster flick to become the highest grossing film of all time.  As such, the re-release should be a good litmus test for the 3D conversion of cinema’s live-action classics, both in their aesthetic appeal and financial viability.

OK, so this will probably become the worst movie of the year. And yeah, the trailer sucks, but I am sure that the Facebook movie will attract a lot of viewers around the world. There are 500 million Facebook users in the world wide web and many of them as well as others who don’t use the most popular social networking website will probably be curious to see a story about someone who has become popular with few resources in hand.

The Social Network will have its premiere in October 2010 and Mark Zuckerberg’s role will be played by Jesse Eisenberg, while the role of Mark’s advisor, Sean Parker, will be played by Justin Timberlake. The Social Network trailer has been released and you can watch it below, although it won’t be a very interesting watch IMO.

The Facebook movie is directed by David Fincher and it’s produced by Colombia Pictures. So what gonna do? Are going to watch The Social Network? Or the Facebook movie doesn’t sound appealing to you?
