[[James Cameron]] was fascinated by [[shipwreck]]s, especially the [[RMS Titanic|RMS ''Titanic'']], and wrote a [[film treatment|treatment]] for the film.<ref name=”dive”/> He said he made ”Titanic” “because [he] wanted to dive to the shipwreck, not because [he] particularly wanted to make the movie”.<ref name=”www.playboy.com”>{{cite news | title=James Cameron: Playboy Interview|publisher=”[[PlayBoy]]”|Date=December 2009|accessdate=2010-01-19|url=http://www.playboy.com/articles/james-cameron-interview/index.html}}</ref><ref name=”www.eyeforfilm.co.uk”>{{cite news| first=Maria| last=Realf | title=An audience with James Cameron.
