Titanic Re-Release

As mentioned in class today, the two trailers are different for the re-release of Titanic in 3D.  Here one of the original trailers from 1997.


And now here is the trailer for the upcoming re-release.


 

Notice the similarities and notice the differences....the content really isn't TOO different (however, the first trailer does go through more detail of the entire plot and also lists the actors in the film due to it never having been seen ).  The one noticeable difference for me comes at 1:00 and 1:37 in the new trailer.  Did you notice it?  Listen again...
It may be because I am a music student.  Notice the popularity that was created after the movie for "My Heart Will Go On."  It is now featured in the trailer (even if just the music) and before the music was more climactic, action music.  Because of its popularity, people only need to hear that song and they already are thinking Titanic.  I was in a different room from the TV last night and heard Celine Dion singing....right away, I knew what was on the TV.  It has become part of the brand that is TITANIC.
