Well, now you can! And all for the very reasonable price of $61,000!

That's right, in honor of the centenary of the Titanic's 1912 sinking, Deep Ocean Expeditions are now offering the public the opportunity to see the wreckage of the iconic ocean liner, and so far, a London banker and doctor from Missouri have already signed up!

According to expedition leader Rob McCallum:

Wow! Maybe they really are trying to give James Cameron a run for his money!

It was announced yesterday that writer Julian Fellowes was working on a four-hour mini-series based on the 1912 sinking of the Titanic - to air on ABC, the UK's ITV, Canada's Global TV, and Australia's Channel 7, amongst many others - and now, it appears that Helen Mirren and Atonement's Romola Garai are circling roles in the project!

Although no information has been revealed about their potential characters, the drama is being described as a "heart-wrenching journey" and will include "multi-arc action, mystery, and romantic plotlines."

Filming is to begin this spring, with the premiere next year, as to mark the 100-year anniversary of the luxury liner's sinking.

Wowza. We have to admit, if it's done correctly, this could be a truly touching tribute to all those who lost their lives that devastating night.

What do U think?? Is a Titanic mini-series a good idea??

James Cameron, you know how to make bank, sir!

The director recently announced that his 1997 blockbuster hit, Titanic, will be re-released for audiences in 3D in April of 2012 - on the 100 year anniversary of the luxury liner's sinking.

A little morbid, yes, but it's certainly a film we think could benefit from a viewing in the third dimension!

What do U think?? Would U go see Titanic in 3D??
