Sanctum(2011)
"''James Cameron's name is practically the biggest thing on the Sanctum poster because without it this film would sink quicker than the Titanic...''"
There is a reason that James Cameron's name is practically the biggest thing on the Sanctum poster. Because without it this film would sink quicker than the Titanic, as word of mouth and a confusing film name/indecipherable picture on poster combo is not going to get people to se...
