Then & Now: The "Titanic" Red Carpet Premiere

Since “Titanic 3D” made it global premiere last night at London’s Royal Albert Hall, I thought it might be fun to contrast those photos with that of red carpet photos from the 1997 premiere. Get ready to feel old. posted on March 28, 2012 at 1:46pm EDT

* For all you fact-checkers out there, the VHS was released in 1998. (Thanks, Bobby Finger!) Still, you get the idea.

How about you at least put Suzy Amis’s name in the 2012 picture next to James Cameron? She was IN the movie after all!

Bill Paxton needs to lose the neck beard. Kate is flawless. Billy Zane must have a pact with the devil — ageless.

Still cant get over how bad the fashion was….and that I thought it was the pinnacle of modern fashion… though what the hell did I know I was only 11. I was at the 3D premiere btw, was awesome, can never get tired of that film.

For anyone else who doesn’t really care about Titanic but was really interested in the lovely lady with Billy Zane, it is his girlfriend, Croatian model Jasmina Hdagha.
