Titanic II is a 2010 disaster film written, directed by, and starring Shane Van Dyke and distributed by The Asylum. The film is not a sequel to the 1997 film by James Cameron, although movie website Dread Central has suggested the film may be a mockbuster of it. It was released direct-to-TV in Australia on August 7, 2010. It premiered on Syfy on Sky in the UK and Ireland on August 9. It was released on August 24 in the United States. The film is set on a fictional reproduction of Titanic that sets off on the same day and route of the original's voyage, but global warming and the forces of nature cause history to repeat itself on the same night, only on a more disastrous and deadly scale.
