James Cameron Debunks Rumor Of Him Trying To Make OceanGate Film After Titanic Sub Tragedy

James Cameron is very much satisfied with the 1997 blockbuster movie “Titanic” which he made, and he has no intention whatsoever to create another movie from the recent Titan submersible implosion.

Barely a month after a small tourist sub from OceanGate Expeditions imploded underwater off the coast of Newfoundland amid heading to the wreckage of the famous Titanic ship, news that the “Titanic” movie director is in talks to make a movie out of OceanGate the company responsible for the creation and running of the Titan submersible emerged.

The Implosion Resulted In The Instant Killing Of All Five Passengers, Including The Company’s CEO, Stockton Rush.

Hearing that Cameron is already planning to make a movie out of the tragedy barely a month of its occurrence raised eyebrows.

Finding the rumor not worthy to ignore enough to fizzle out on its own, Cameron made a short and precise denial of the ongoing rumor thereby shutting down every speculation and bad energy it brought with it.

In a July 15 post made by the movie director on Twitter, Cameron tweeted, “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.” Cameron has stated plain and simple where his interest lies and it’s definitely not with an OceanGate film.

Days after the tragic events of the submarine, the Oscar winner who has frequented the wreckage of the Titanic over 30 times, appeared on ABC News to criticize OceanGate and also share his two pence about the disaster which he strongly believed would have been avoided had the warning been heeded.

Cameron said, “A number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that it needed to be certified.”

He continued, “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.”

The “Avatar” director went ahead to say, “For us, it’s 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.”

Later on, while peaking with CNN, Cameron said, “Here’s a case starkly, today, where the collective, we didn’t remember the lesson of Titanic—these guys at OceanGate didn’t.” He also added, “I just think it’s heartbreaking that it was so preventable.”
