For the 3-D, IMAX format documentary film Ghosts of the Abyss, filmmaker James Cameron and actor/director Bill Paxton (Aliens, Apollo 13, Titanic) returned two and a half miles straight down to the legendary North Atlantic wreck site of the Titanic where nearly 1,500 people lost their lives almost 100 years ago. This time they left Kate Winslet and Leo behind and went with Jake and Ellwood! No, not The Blues Brothers but two compact little ROV vehicles, created by Cameron's inventive brother Mike. These little fellas were equipped with cameras and could spy into parts of the ship Cameron couldn't reach on his earlier dives while exploring the wreck for his Oscar-winning 1997 feature film.

After we saw the incredible 3-D or "stereo" film as Cameron likes to call it, we spent an afternoon at a Universal City hotel near the theater and spoke with the director and his pal Paxton who went along on the expedition as our eyes and ears; just an ordinary guy who could represent most audience members on this journey of a lifetime and narrate the film.
