“I don’t normally respond to offensive rumors in the media, but today I have to,” Cameron wrote in an Instagram story. I am NOT involved in talks about an OceanGate film and never will be.
This reaction followed an article published in the English media The Sun, according to which the famous director was in talks with a major broadcaster to prepare a series that would tell the story of the people who died in the implosion of the submersible died.
James Cameron therefore categorically closes the door on his involvement in such a project, even calling the prospect “obnoxious”.
The Titan submersible imploded during its descent to the Titanic wreck last month with five passengers on board, including the CEO of OceanGate, the expedition’s organizer.
Several questions followed about the safety measures of the device, which many believed would prove faulty, sparking international interest in this widespread tragedy.
