Get ready for Titanic’s new remastered version




If the soft, pillowy flutes in Céline Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" still give you chills, well, we've got news for you.
Titanic is making a return to cinemas for its 20th anniversary, this time remastered for Dolby Cinema at AMC locations around the U.S. for one week only. 
The screenings will take place from Dec. 1, and will be released in 2D, as well as 20 locations which support 3D.
"We mastered a few minutes of Titanic in Dolby Vision and I was stunned. It was like seeing it for the first time. Now that the entire film has been mastered, I'm excited to share it with audiences across the U.S.," the film's director, James Cameron, said in a statement.
“This is beyond 3D, beyond 70mm, it’s beyond anything you’ve seen before. The image leaps off the screen as bright and vibrant as life itself."
Of course, it's not the first time Titanic — the highest grossing film ever until Avatar unseated it in 2010 — has had a revamp for the cinema. In 2012, a 3D version of the film was released, which also fixed inaccuracies with the star formation after Cameron was informed by an astrophysicist of the error. 
In December, Cameron will release a one-hour documentary that'll explore the film's historical accuracy, set to air on National Geographic.
Your heart might not be in it, but you can bet the Titanic brand will go on.

Angelina Jolie's talkes about Sexual Assault and violence at U.N. Speech



Angelina Jolie was one of the many women in October to come forward accusing producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, and she's not slowing down anytime soon when it comes to discussing misconduct in Hollywood.

On Wednesday, the actress and activist spoke in Vancouver at the U.N. Peacekeeping Defense Ministerial Conference and delivered stirring words about cracking down on sexual abuse in all industries. 

"All too often, these kinds of crimes against women are laughed off, depicted as a minor offense by someone who cannot control themselves, as an illness, or as some kind of exaggerated sexual need," she continued. "A man who mistreats women is abusive."

Sexual violence is everywhere – in the industry where I work, in business, in universities, in politics, in the military, and across the world," she said during her speech.

Jolie also discussed sexual abuse worldwide in her speech, calling for the protection of women and demanding more attention be paid to prevention of sexual assault.
