Titanic : Official Movie Tour, thought to be the first exhibition of its kind, will be staged in Wembley Exhibition Hall in December.

Around 40,000 visitors a week are expected to see the special effects and costumes and even tour the opulent ball room.

There will also be the opportunity to have their picture taken in the famous "King of the World" pose on the edge of the ship.

Jon Laudau, the film's producer said: "What we are trying to do is create a totally immersive movie-going experience,"

Fans will be able to purchase film merchandise ranging from a crew T-shirt to a full Titanic uniform and during the evening the exhibiton will be transformed into a first class dining experience using authentic Titanic menus.

"One thing that we are very sensitive to is the fact that this was a tragedy. We are not historically talking about the actual event.

"We are talking about the making of this film and the magic and the romance behind it, " said Tim Elwell, vice president of Special Entertainment Events, organisers of the exhibition.

The Titanic: Official Movie Tour will open in London with a party on December 15.

The multi- million show will tour Amsterdam, Paris, Dusseldorf, Milan and 16 other world cities, including South America and Singapore.
