Kate Winslet “very disconnected” from “Titanic” 3D

Kate Winslet talks Titanic 3D release

Kate Winslet is about to hit the big screen as Rose once again when Titanic 3D debuts in April, yet the actress isn’t exactly ready to party like it’s 1997.

Titanic 3D is coming to theaters next year! While fans of the mega movie can’t wait to see the ship sink in three dimensions, actress Kate Winslet is struggling with this walk down memory lane.

A lot has changed since Kate Winslet originally took on the role of Rose DeWitt Bukater. In the nearly 15 years since James Cameron’s Titanic first hit theaters, the 36-year-old has married, became a mother to daughter Mia, divorced, remarried, became mother to son Joe, and divorced again. Perhaps it’s understandable then that Kate Winslet feels “disconnected” from her life so long ago.

Regarding Titanic 3D, the actress recently confessed to Stylelist, “You know, at the end of the day, it’s weird. It’s really weird because it’s 15 years ago and I don’t know, I feel very disconnected now from actually what was going on in my life at the time and how I felt. A lot of it, it does really feel like a distant memory, so it’s going to be quite strange to have that sort of thrust into people’s face all over again.”

Kate Winslet continued, “I’ve no idea what it’ll be like, the experience, but it’s exciting to think that a whole new generation of young men and women who, perhaps, haven’t seen it, who may have been conceived after the first date night of a couple going to see Titanic. I mean, God knows. It does mean that a whole new generation of people will be seeing the film and that’s fantastic. That’s wonderful.”

Despite having been nominated for an Academy Award for her Titanic role, Kate Winslet hasn’t yet set eyes on any of the revamped film’s 3D effects. “I’m fascinated to see it in 3D myself,” she said. “I still haven’t seen any of it. I know a couple of people who have and they’re like, ‘God, it looks amazing,’ So yeah, we’ll see.”

Richard Branson invites Kate Winslet to spend Christmas at Necker Island

Kate Winslet has been invited to return to Branson’s Necker Island for Christmas and New Year, along with her tediously surnamed boyfriend Ned Rocknroll.

The Titanic star was a guest at Richard’s £60 million private Caribbean island this summer, when the Great House they were staying in went up in flames after being struck by lightning.

Kate, 36, escaped the terrifying inferno and carried Richard’s 90-year-old mum, Eve, to safety.

A source said: “Richard’s invited her and the kids back to thank her for her bravery in saving his mother.”

Richard is fixing the house ahead of daughter Holly’s wedding, due later this month.

“Contagion” coming to Blu-ray in January

Warner Home Entertainment has announced that the thriller Contagion, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law and John Hawkes, will be released on Blu-ray January 3, 2012. Contagion follows a few individuals as a deadly virus reaches epidemic proportions and starts wiping out millions of people. The film is a great study of human interaction as well as human reaction, and is a fascinating story of man trying to fight against an invisible enemy given to us by director Steven Soderbergh.

I recently watched this film and found it quite disturbing on several levels. It’s a very, very good movie but I would not recommend watching it with or recommending it to anyone who has any degree of germ-a-phobia. I promise you that this will freak them out and you will have to stock up on hand sanitizer and bottled water. With that in mind, definitely give this one a watch because you will not be disappointed. Special Features include three behind-the-scenes featurettes: “Contagion: How a Virus Changes the World”, “The Reality of Contagion” and “The Contagion Detectives”.
