James Cameron’s 1997 film Titanic has been remastered in 4K for a brand-new theatrical re-release. This time, however, a new Titanic poster to advertise the re-release has fans really confused.
As you can see below, fans have even started roasting the new Titanic poster on Twitter. But what could be so bad about it? Well, it has something to do with Kate Winslet’s hair.
Unfortunately, the decision for what the poster artist did with Winslet’s hair is unclear. But it appears that Kate Winslet’s character is sporting two different hairstyles in the artwork. One can only assume that each hairstyle was taken from a different part of the James Cameron film.
Here’s the poster:

The left side of her hair is done up in curls in a rather fanciful way. On the right side, however, her hair is down like in the sequence when she posed for Jack and later when the ship sank. In any case, it creates a rather disorienting image. As you can see from some of the reactions below, fans are rather confused:
the real tragedy is this poster.

a perm? on the titanic? isn’t the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you’re forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm

It looks like it’s two photos in one. Like Kate’s photo is actually on top of another photo. Which is another photo of Leo actually hugging a girl.

Of course, other fans suspect that there could be some deeper artistic meaning behind the two hairstyles:
Because it represents the duality of her having to portray her societal role and the life she wishes to have, free, with Jack.

Because she has two different personalities as well: the one who played the perfect girl and the one that wanted to be free

I think it’s to show the two sides of her in the movie. From boarding as an upper class wealthy passenger to then how things change when she meets Jack and the new kind of life he introduces her to.

Overall, the reason for this design is unclear. It’s also unknown if Paramount might alter the image due to the negative responses. Ultimately, it goes to show that sometimes the original poster artwork is still the best choice.
The 1997 film Titanic was written and directed by James Cameron.
In addition to Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, the film also starred Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Victor Garber, and Bill Paxton.
