James Cameron will be bring Titanic back to the big screen in 3D.

The director saw his movie become the biggest grossing film of all time back in 1997, as well as going on to win eleven Oscars; including Best Picture and best Director.

Since then Cameron has enjoyed massive success with 3D movie as Avatar overtook Titanic in the biggest grossing film stakes as it became the first film to brake the $2 billion barrier.

Speaking to USA Today the Oscar winning filmmaker said: "We're targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of Titanic), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship."

There is also talk of a return for Avatar to the big screen this summer with cut scenes from the original theatrical release.

"The wildcard is that we might be re-releasing the movie this fall. It's kind of gotten stomped out (in theatres since the release) of Alice in Wonderland.

"The word we're getting back from exhibitors is we probably left a couple of hundred million dollars on the table as a result. The question is the appetite still going to be there after the summer glut of movies.

"We're going to assess that. We're talking about maybe adding in additional footage and doing something creative."

Avatar was released back in December and grossed over $1 billion in just seventeen days, joining a very elite group of movies.
