Never-before-published photos from the “Titanic” movie set are drawing attention. Many of these photos feature the two main actors in the movie – Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Photos taken on the set of the blockbuster movie Titanic (1997) have just been released. At the time the film began filming in the summer of 1996, the film’s two main actors – Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet – were only in their 20s.
The film was mainly filmed at the Fox Baja Studios located in the town of Rosarito, Baja California state, Mexico. Here, impressive sets were built to serve filming activities. The investment cost for setting the scene is up to $40 million USD. This was considered a very large number at that time.

“I already really liked Kate as an actress. When we met, she said, ‘Let’s do this movie together, we can do it.’ Ultimately, the movie became into a phenomenon at a level that we could never have imagined,” actor Leonardo DiCaprio shared.
At the time of implementation, the Titanic film project was considered the largest and most expensive film project in cinema history. DiCaprio knew that at that time, there were huge expectations placed on him.
As for Kate Winslet, looking back at her role in Titanic, she felt proud: “It was wonderful to be a part of the movie. The movie is both a part of the memories of many viewers and resonates with the contemporary public. It’s great in its own way. It’s an honor for us that the public continues to love the movie to this day.”
