James Cameron to direct ANOTHER film about Titanic?
The legendary filmmaker took to Instagram to handle some gossip that’s been within the media for a couple of weeks now — will there be a movie concerning the OceanGate tragedy? Even extra so, will he be the one to direct it? He was the cinematic captain of the long-lasting epic Titanic, so it could make sense if there have been to be a film on the Titan implosion, producers would eye him for it.
But that’s not trying doubtless, of us! According to what Cameron stated on Saturday, it could appear he has completely zero curiosity in making a movie concerning the sub and its victims. Writing on a clean Story, he stated:
“I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now. I’m NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be.”

He shut that down actually fast — and he made it very clear he’ll by no means be partaking in a movie of the type!
The Oscar winner positively is aware of what he’s speaking about, having gone right down to the well-known wreckage himself a whopping 33 instances. And we’re certain it’s inevitable there WILL ultimately be a film made concerning the Titan catastrophe, however whoever finally ends up directing it can definitely not be getting any suggestions or methods from the “King of the World” himself.
No one is aware of fairly how the rumors of a brand new movie began, though there have been social media rumblings {that a} documentary referred to as Titanic Sub: Lost At Sea was by some means linked to Cameron — however in actuality he has no connection to it. The Lost At Sea documentary initially premiered late final month within the UK on Channel 5 — which precipitated a little bit of on-line backlash as a result of how fast it was produced after the implosion.
As we beforehand reported, Cameron expressed his shock after the submersible was present in items simply days after it went down within the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. With the submersible claiming 5 lives, — Brit billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, and father-son duo Shahzada and Suleman Dawood — the Avatar director instructed ABC the whole accident was “surreal“:
“I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result … And for a very similar tragedy, where warnings went unheeded to take place at the same exact site, with all the diving that’s going on all around the world. I think it’s just astonishing. It’s really quite surreal.”
