James Cameron’s 3-D overhaul of his recently dethroned box-office record-holder ‘Titanic’ now has a release date -- one that will resonate nicely with fans of sunken luxury liners. The film will be back in theaters on April 6 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Titanic’s maiden (and only) voyage that left England on April 10, 1912.

Cameron’s 1997 big-boat romance was the highest-grossing film until he topped himself in 2010 with ‘Avatar.’ ‘Titanic’ will have to gross another $1 billion worldwide to reclaim the crown from ‘Avatar,’ but to sweeten the experience for fans, Cameron and his team have completely reworked the film using the same 3-D technology they used on ‘Avatar.’

The 3-D ‘Titanic’ will come two months after release of the 3-D overhaul of the first of the ‘Star Wars’ films, ‘The Phantom Menace,’ on Feb. 10.

Now the only question remains: How long before we get ‘The Godfather’ in glorious 3-D?
