“Titanic” Director James Cameron denied rumors he was making a film about the OceanGate’s Titan submersible that imploded, killing five passengers on board.
On Saturday, Cameron, 68, took to his Twitter page to clear the air in a viral tweet.
“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 wrote.
This came after The Sun published a story claiming Cameron was approached by a streaming network to create the film.
“The Titan disaster is already being looked at as a major series for one of the world’s biggest streamers — and James is first choice for director,” a source told the outlet.
The source added the tragedy “is a subject close to his heart.”
“He told the story of the Titanic so compassionately it feels like a natural step for him to take this on. Retracing the steps of those on board the Titan is a massive undertaking but there would be a lot of time, money and resources dedicated to it,” they said.
