As of July 2023, the project is currently on hold due to on-going upgrades to the film studio who will be leading the rebuild process. While this is not the news fans of the film want to hear, we have been reasurred that the project is still planned for the near future. Any important updates for the project will be posted here to the NEWS DESK and over on the official Raise the Titanic Movie Group on Facebook.
