Photos taken on the set of the blockbuster movie Titanic (1997) have just been released. At the time the movie began filming in the summer of 1996, the two main actors of the movie - Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet - were just in their early 20s.
The film was mainly shot at Fox Baja Studios in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico. Here, impressive sets were built for filming. The budget for setting up the set was up to 40 million USD. This was considered a very large number at that time.

The rare photographs, which have just been published, belong to a British collector. Now, they will be auctioned in the UK. The photos were taken by a member of the film crew using a personal camera. The photos are not professional, but very genuine and unstaged.
Titanic was the most successful film of the 20th century. It is among the highest-grossing films of all time. Titanic is also highly regarded for its artistic merit, winning 11 Oscars from 14 nominations. Including the Oscar for Best Picture.
The two main actors of Titanic became lifelong friends after stepping out of the film project. The movie Titanic is 195 minutes long, which was considered a shocking length for the film world in the 1990s.
Sharing about participating in the Titanic film project, actor Leonardo DiCaprio said that for him and co-star Kate Winslet, Titanic was an experimental film project. Previously, both of them had only acted in low-budget independent films, never in big-budget blockbusters.

"I've always liked Kate as an actress. When we met, she said, 'Let's do this together, we can do it.' It ended up being a phenomenon on a scale we never could have imagined," actor Leonardo DiCaprio shared.
At the time of its production, Titanic was considered the biggest and most expensive film project in cinema history. DiCaprio knew that there were huge expectations placed on him at the time.
As for Kate Winslet, looking back on her role in Titanic , she feels proud: "It was wonderful to be a part of the film. The film is both a part of the memories of many viewers and resonates with the contemporary public in its own way. It is an honor for us that the public continues to love the film to this day."
