Apparently, there was 'strong interest' in casting Claire Danes as Rose, but she 'wasn't ready for' the level of fame such a steamy romantic saga as 'Titanic' would surely bring
It does not feel quite the same somehow. Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for AFI The year is 1997 and you, a weeping child, have just been wrecked by a peerless nautical love story: Titanic. You witnessed two young lovers encounter one another on the high seas, dance a spirited jig deep in the bowels of the Ship of Dreams, and do sex inside a stagecoach — only to be ripped apart by an unforeseen iceberg right ahead! Although only one makes it out alive, they ultimately saved one another.
“I had just made this romantic epic with Leo in Mexico City, which is where they were going to shoot Titanic,” Danes said, referring to 1996’s Romeo + Juliet. “It was going to propel me to something I knew I didn’t have the resources to cope with. I knew I had to do a lot of foundation-building.” Committed Titanic fans may already know this, because Danes has spoken about the decision before. In 2012, she reportedly told British GQ that doing another big love story with DiCaprio in such a short span of time felt “redundant.” I, however, am learning about it for the first time, and reeling. Imagine an alternate cinematic reality in which Danes stands at the prow of the ship, flying.
Wild to think about, and yet somehow less wild than a Jack played by Matthew McConaughey. In a parallel universe, maybe it’s all happening.
