That\u2019s as a result of DiCaprio didn\u2019t suppose he even wanted to learn for the half to get it, so Cameron put the younger hotshot in his place. \u201cThere was a meeting with Leo, and then there was a screen test with Leo,\u201d Cameron advised GQ. \u201cThe meeting was funny because I am sitting in my conference room, waiting to meet an actor. And I look around, and all the women in the entire office are in the meeting for some reason. There\u2019s a female executive producer, okay, fine, but our accountant? They all wanted to meet Leo. It was hysterical. I looked around, and I went, \u2018I think I already know the answer to the question here.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, DiCaprio had assumed he had already landed the half as Jack in \u201cTitanic,\u201d and thought he was returning to fulfill Cameron and his new co-star Winslet. But Cameron wasn\u2019t having it. Cameron mentioned that DiCaprio advised him, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t read,\u201d to which the director shook the younger heartthrobs hand and mentioned, \u201cWell, thanks for coming by.\u201d DiCaprio, shocked, replied, \u201cWait, wait, wait, if I don\u2019t read, I don\u2019t get the part. Just like that?\u201d That\u2019s when Cameron defined to DiCaprio that \u201cTitanic\u201d was \u201ca giant movie that is going to take two years of my life, and you\u2019ll be gone doing five other things while I\u2019m doing post-production. So I\u2019m not going to f\u2014 it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So you\u2019re going to read, or you\u2019re not going to get the part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron mentioned DiCaprio was quietly fuming concerning the state of affairs on the display check till it lastly started. \u201cEvery ounce of his entire being is entirely negative right up until I said, \u2018Action,&#8217;\u201d defined Cameron, \u201cand then he turned into Jack. And Kate just lit up and they went into this whole thing and he played the scene. Dark clouds had opened up, a ray of sun came down and lit up Jack. I\u2019m like, \u2018All right, he\u2019s the guy.&#8217;\u201d And the remainder is historical past \u2014 and $2.202 billion on the world field workplace, making \u201cTitanic\u201d the third highest-grossing film of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Will James Cameron\u2019s newest movie, \u201c<strong>Avatar: The Way Of Water<\/strong>\u201d catch \u201cTitanic\u201d or the director\u2019s 2009 movie \u201c<strong>Avatar<\/strong>\u201d on the all-time box-office gross listing?
