“Titanic” director James Cameron has strongly denied speculation that he is preparing to direct a film about the “Titan” submarine disaster.
In a tweet on Saturday, the “Titanic” director set the record straight, less than a month after the deaths of five people aboard an Oceangate submarine that exploded while descending into the wreck of the Titanic, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Cameron tweeted, “Normally, I don’t respond to malicious rumors in the media, but I need to now. I’m not in talks about an Oceangate movie, and never will be.”
It is noteworthy that this is not the first time that Cameron has been pushed to comment since the disappearance of Titan in June.
The “Avatar” filmmaker previously told ABC that people in the diving community were “very concerned about this sub” before the expedition was launched.
“For us, it’s a tragedy very similar to the Titanic, where the warnings were not heeded,” Cameron said at the time.
