The acclaimed director titanicJames Cameron, denied this Saturday morning to have been involved in any film related to the company OceanGate, responsible for the accident of the submersible Titan.

Thus closes any possibility of Cameron making a film about this submersible which imploded on June 19 with five people on board near the wreck of the Titanic, where the liner sank after colliding with an iceberg 111 years ago. .

Cameron checked his social media to make sure he had no plans to record a film about the Titan case, nor did he have any plans to do so. coming.

“Normally I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media, but I need it now. I’m not talking about an OceanGate movie, and I never will be,” the Canadian said.

On June 23, the director had already mentioned the similarities between the Titanic accident and that of the Titan submersible. During an interview with ABC, Cameron expressed surprise at the attitude of the captains, as both were warned of the risks of the operation but went ahead with the expedition anyway.

“I am struck by the similarity to the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned of ice in front of his ship and; however, it cruised at full speed towards an ice field,” he added.

Cameron also noted that the warnings for both crashes were ignored in virtually the same place, despite the fact that the Titanic disaster happened over a century ago.

“A lot of people died overnight. A very similar tragedy where warnings were ignored in exactly the same place with all the dives going on around the world. I think it’s just unbelievable, it’s really quite surreal,” he said then.
