BURBANK, Calif., January 27, 2004 – Walt Disney Pictures in association with Walden Media presents
a film by James Cameron, GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS, on DVD (2 disc set) April 27, 2004. A
groundbreaking cinematic experience that premiered in the large Theatrical IMAX format, GHOSTS OF
THE ABYSS is the amazing quest by Academy Award®-winning director James Cameron (Best
Director, Best Picture, Best Film Editing, “Titanic,” 1997) to go back to the actual Titanic equipped with
state of the art technology with a team of top underwater explorers and filmmakers. Acclaimed actor Bill
Paxton (“Titanic”) accompanies Cameron on this astonishing underwater voyage. Come along with the
Titanic team as they employ several amazing Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVS) to guide the way, not
unlike the robots that have started to explore Mars. Then, it’s time for the team to actual dive to the ship,
inside state of the art submersible mini-submarines. And you are along for the ride of a lifetime.

“When I was young, Titanic was a legend, a myth. It wasn’t until I saw it with my own eyes that it
became real. It was a real event that happened to real people.”
– James Cameron, Director

On 2-disc DVD GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS includes both the 60 minute Theatrical version of the film
and a 90 minute extended version showcasing unseen footage, especially made for this home
entertainment release. The second disc is entirely devoted to bonus materials (please see
attached). GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS is available from Walt Disney Home Entertainment for $29.99
(DVD).

GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS DVD features:

DISC ONE
60 Minute Original Theatrical (1.7
90 Minute Extended Feature Including Unseen Footage (1.7

DISC TWO
“Reflections From The Deep”
- Look back on the challenges of creating this groundbreaking cinematic experience. Includes unseen
footage from their risky dives to the ocean floor and revealing interviews with Director James Cameron,
star Bill Paxton, and the entire crew.

“The ROV Experience” – An innovative multi-angle feature. Choose from different cameras as you dive
to the floor of the ocean’s floor, and ultimately see the grand staircase any way you want.

GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS takes viewers on the journey of a lifetime, more than two miles beneath the
surface and into the ruined wreck of the great ship Titanic. This fantastic voyage travels to locations
unseen for more than ninety years. Audiences will truly feel as though they are there beside the
adventurers as they “fly” their amazing equipment through the ship’s ruined majesty.

Using the same idea as the famous Mars robots, GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS employed two Remotely
Operated Vehicles (also called ROV’s, bots, or simply Jake and Elwood). These are small, mobile
camera systems built to travel throughout almost all of Titanic’s interior. The ROVs were designed and
built by Mike Cameron. Each ROV connects to one of the Mir subs by a 2,000-foot fiber optic cable.
The cable carries the pilot’s commands to the motors and cameras on the ROVs. The same cable carries
back video images to the sub.

To help light up the dark, endless night of the ocean floor, the GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS team used an
ROV called “Medusa,” carrying ten high-powered lights. Medusa provided an eerie moonlight effect
over the bow deck of he ship.

Director James Cameron spent years planning this film and the special equipment he needed to make it.
The invention team was led by his brother Mike Cameron. Others on the expedition included: Ken
Marschall, Titanic’s leading “Visual Historian;” Don Lynch, Chief Historian of the Titanic Historical
Society; Bill Paxton and Lewis Abernathy, who performed in the original movie “Titanic,” microbiologist
Lori Johnston; biologist and historian Charles Pellegrino; marine archaeologist John Broadwater; and 3D
camera designer Vince Pace.

The team engaged the high-tech Mir 1 and Mir 2 submersibles for the voyage. Each is capable of
descending 20,000 feet. These amazing vehicles carried the exploration team on dives down 2.5 miles
beneath the ocean surface to the Titanic wreck.

Produced by Chuck Comisky, Gig Rackauskas, Janace Tashjian. Creative Producer Ed W. Marsh.
Produced and Directed by James Cameron.

No he visto este documental, pero suena interesante, sin embargo me gustaría saber si es mejor que el de National Geographic.

Yo lo ví en 3D en una pantalla IMAX, pero el documental en sí no es tan interesante.

A eso me refería exactamente, de antemano pensaba que no podían superar el documental de National Geographic y con lo que cuentas mi Eliseo, pues menos me dan ganas de comprarlo.

esta es la contraportada:

No saben si lo editaron en R4, esque acabo de ver el trailer y me parecio interesante el montaje que venia.
