James Cameron would very very like it if the dialogue surrounding Jack’s demise in “Titanic” didn’t go on. After years of followers debating whether or not or not Jack and Rose each may have match on that floating door within the ocean, the director commissioned a examine to show as soon as and for all that Jack needed to die. And never only for cinematic causes.

Whereas on tour to advertise his newest movie, “Avatar: The Manner of Water,” Cameron instructed the Toronto Solar that he carried out a scientific examine to settle the talk as soon as and for all. The experiment will air as a particular on the Nationwide Geographic Channel in February, however the Oscar winner had no downside spoiling the examine’s findings.

“We have now achieved a scientific examine to place this entire factor to relaxation and drive a stake by its coronary heart as soon as and for all,” Cameron mentioned. “We have now since achieved an intensive forensic evaluation with a hypothermia skilled who reproduced the raft from the film, and we’ll perform a little particular on it that comes out in February.”

He continued, “We took two stunt individuals who have been the identical physique mass of Kate [Winslet] and Leo [DiCaprio] and we put sensors throughout them and inside them and we put them in ice water and we examined to see whether or not they may have survived by quite a lot of strategies and the reply was, there was no approach they each may have survived. Just one may survive.”

Cameron is not the one one who’s standing by Jack’s icy demise. Winslet, who stars within the Avatar sequel, just lately appeared on the “Comfortable Unhappy Confused” podcast the place she too put one other nail within the Jack-didn’t-have-to-die principle’s coffin.

“Look, all I can let you know is I do have an honest understanding of water and the way it behaves,” Winslet mentioned. “In case you put two adults on a stand-up paddleboard, it turns into instantly, extraordinarily unstable. That’s for positive.”

Winslet added that whereas Jack probably may have match on the door, it will have doomed each him and Rose. “I’ve to be trustworthy: I really do not consider that we might have survived if we had each gotten on that door,” she revealed. “I believe he would have match, however it will have tipped, and it will not have been a sustainable thought. So that you heard it right here for the primary time. Sure, he may have match on that door, however it will not have stayed afloat. It would not.”

Each Winslet and Cameron’s assertions contradict the findings of a 2012 “Mythbusters” episode which posited that poor Jack may have survived — however provided that he and Rose had found out easy methods to use Rose’s lifejacket as a buoy to assist the door maintain their mixed weight.
