Titanic director James Cameron ‘in talks to create drama series on Titan submarine disaster’

Baku, July 14, AZERTAC
Titanic director James Cameron is reportedly in talks to create a drama series based on the Titan submarine disaster, according to the Metro.
Five passengers aboard the Titan submersible which went missing last month are believed to have died after an implosion during a journey to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
The OceanGate submersible lost contact with its support ship on June 18, and the implosion is believed to have happened shortly after this.
After the disaster, Cameron was open in admitting he had ‘predicted’ the outcome, and insisted OceanGate were ‘warned’ of ‘catastrophe’.
It has now been claimed a streaming network has approached the director, 68, to tell the story of the doomed expedition.
A source said: ‘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.
‘It is a subject close to his heart.’
The insider continued to The Sun: ‘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.’
The publication notes Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Kumail Nanjiani are on the wish list for the drama.
This comes after Cameron told BBC News he predicted the outcome of the ill-fated submersible days before the news was confirmed.
