Director James Cameron is in discussions to develop a new drama series centered around last month’s OceanGate submarine disaster.
The ill-fated voyage, which claimed the lives of five passengers, took a tragic turn during an exploration mission to the depths of the Titanic wreckage. The submersible mysteriously lost contact with its support vessel on June 18 and imploded.
Interestingly, Cameron openly acknowledged that he had eerily “predicted” the outcome. He even asserted that OceanGate had been “warned” about the impending catastrophe.
Now, an industry insider has revealed that an unnamed streaming giant has approached the Titanic filmmaker to direct an upcoming series.
“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,” the source said. “It 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,” the source continued. “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.”
