In the years before a film becomes legend, it often exists first as rumor — a cautionary tale told by those who have not yet seen it. Producer Jon Landau's memoir about the making of James Cameron's Titanic reminds us that the distance between perceived failure and genuine triumph can be as thin as a single honest screening, and that the stories we tell about art before it is finished are rarely the stories that endure.

Minimal direct impact. Memoir publication may drive modest book sales and streaming interest in Titanic catalog, but this is retrospective commentary on a 27-year-old film with established commercial success.
No significant policy implications. Article reflects historical production practices; modern film budgeting and studio risk management have evolved considerably since 1997. May inform academic discussion of Hollywood economics but unlikely to trigger regulatory response.
