The iconic panel from the movie “Titanic” has sparked intrigue and curiosity among fans for years. Many have wondered if two people could have actually fit on the floating wooden panel, famously mistaken for a door in the film. Now, the opportunity to own this piece of cinematic history is at hand as it is among the 1,600 movie props and costumes up for auction later this month through Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
Contrary to popular belief, the panel is not a door but part of the door frame above the first-class lounge in the movie. Alongside the panel, there are other noteworthy items up for auction, such as the dress worn by the character Rose in “Titanic,” running shoes from “Forrest Gump,” and the Harley Davidson chopper Bruce Willis rode in “Pulp Fiction.” The collection also includes pieces from movies like “Star Wars,” “Jurassic Park,” and many more.
These movie props and costumes were originally displayed in Planet Hollywood restaurant locations worldwide. As the brand expands beyond restaurants, they are collaborating with Heritage Auctions to offer fans the chance to bring home a piece of Hollywood history. Robert Earl, chairman and co-founder of Planet Hollywood, expressed his excitement about the auction and the opportunity to share their collection with film lovers everywhere.
For those interested in exploring the collection and browsing the available pieces, Heritage Auctions’ website is the place to go. The auction will take place from March 20-24, giving fans the chance to own a piece of movie magic and a tangible connection to their favorite films.
