A remastered version of 'Titanic' will be re-released in cinemas across the world, including South Africa, to celebrate the movie's 25th anniversary.
The film's director, James Cameron, announced the release date on his Instagram page.
"Some stories are timeless. In celebration of the 25th anniversary, please join us in experiencing Titanic in remastered 4K 3D. Opening February 10th in theaters," the Oscar winner wrote.
'Titanic', which was released in 1997, stars Leonardo DiCaprio and British actress Kate Winslet. Their tragic love story captured the hearts of millions of people around the world.
The film won 11 Academy Awards at the 1998 Oscars, including 'Best Picture' and 'Best Directing'.
Titanic remains one of the highest-grossing films of all time. It has earned more than $2-billion (R34-million) at the box office, putting it in third place behind 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019) and another James Cameron film, 'Avatar' (2009).
