Deepsea Challenge 3D Page #3

And Iets say the dome cue three times.

Action!

Dome, dome, dome.

(Suzy) I've watched him do it now for 16 years.

Whether its with our children

or on a film set

or an expedition,

he sets his bar so high

with safety, with creativity, with everything he does. Cut.

Wow. The whole upper section has all been on and come back off.

Remember I told you everything goes on and comes back off?

Yeah. Yeah.

(James) You got to think a lot about what your priorities are.

You know, I mean, I'm a family man, got five kids.

A lot of people would

set their priorities as...

those are the ultimate priority, and they are to me.

You ready to come out?

But I think a part

of what you give your kids

is more than just your presence. its your example.

All right. Now we got our youngest deep ocean explorer.

Shes already taken

her pink Uggs off.

You want to go for a dive?

You want to go underwater?

If you live in fear and you never follow your dreams,

youve compromised

in a much greater way.

l was in love with the ocean

before we ever met.

It was watching all those great underwater explorers on TV in the '60s

that got me excited

about this alien world

that was right here on Earth

that was as rich and exotic

as anything that

I could imagine myself.

For me, diving,

thats my calm place.

I feel privileged

to get to bear witness

to the imaginative power

of evolution thats created

all these unbelievable

forms of life.

Man, I just am--

I'm inspired by that.

Test, test, test.

One, two, three, four.

First recorded dialogue

underwater, on film,

for a theatrical motion picture

in the history of the world.

Okay.

And, action!

When I chose a career as an adult, it was filmmaking,

and of course the stories

that I chose to tell

were science fiction stories.

I need you to be

closer to the camera.

I need to have the shot cut right about here. Its a close up, okay?

So I make a movie

called The Abyss.

At the core of it is this idea of going deeper and seeing whats down there.

And in it are all these, at the time, cutting edge new pieces of technology

like R0 Vs, like a robot that can fly underwater. What a great concept.

And so at that point, I think for the first time I stepped over a line

from science fiction

into a reality that involved

these kind

of science fictional concepts

of robotics and deep exploration and so on,

and thats when I decided

to do Titanic.

Because I knew that

in the making of that film,

I would get to dive

to the Titanic for real.

That was the first time

I ever went really deep,

the kind of deep that

I used to imagine as a kid.

Pitch black.

Going to another world.

l was struck by how surreal
