About the author

Randall Frakes has been an author and screenwriter for thirty-five years. Frakes wrote novelizations of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day and edited Titanic: James Cameron's Illustrated Screenplay. He lives in Los Angeles. Brooks Peck is a curator at the Museum of Pop Culture. There he has curated exhibitions on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek, among others. He also cowrote two creature features for the Syfy Channel, Rage of the Yeti and Zombie Apocalypse. He lives in Seattle. James Cameron's attention to realism and detail is legendary. Celebrated for such uncompromising action-adventure films as The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, and Avatar, the writer-director actually vowed not to make Titanic unless he could successfully dive to the wreck himself and bring back motion picture footage for use in the film. Representing years of Cameron's passion and dedication, Titanic is one of the filmmaker's most ambitious films.
