- James Cameron refutes talks of making a movie about OceanGate’s Titan submersible.
- Cameron dismisses the rumor as “offensive” and asserts that he will never create a film about the Titan.
- During a June expedition to the Titanic, five individuals tragically lost their lives when the submersible imploded.
James Cameron unequivocally denies any intention of producing a film centered around OceanGate’s Titan submersible, which met its demise during an expedition to the Titanic wreckage in June.
The acclaimed director addressed the speculation on Saturday, responding to media reports that suggested the possibility of such a film. The Sun reported on July 13 that a streaming network had approached Cameron with the idea of recounting the story of the five individuals who perished in the submersible.

“I typically do not dignify offensive rumors in the media with a response, but I feel compelled to do so now. I am NOT involved in any discussions about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be,” exclaimed Cameron in a tweet.
Speculation about Cameron’s potential involvement in an OceanGate film emerged a month after the submersible was reported missing on June 18. Despite a thorough search lasting several days, the US Coast Guard and OceanGate confirmed on June 23 that the Titan’s five passengers had tragically lost their lives. Reuters identified the passengers as OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood, and Suleman Dawood.
Cameron, who has made 33 trips to the Titanic wreck, has been vocal about his insights into the implosion and his opinions regarding OceanGate.
Last month, Cameron drew parallels between the captain of the Titanic and Stockton Rush, who disregarded safety concerns and warnings regarding the submersible’s safety.
“A number of leading figures in the deep-submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, stating that their approach was too experimental to carry passengers and needed proper certification,” Cameron revealed in an interview with ABC News.
Later, in an appearance on Good Morning America, Cameron disclosed that he and several engineers had sent a letter to OceanGate officials expressing their concerns.
Last week, OceanGate announced the suspension of all exploration and commercial activities. Additionally, the company deleted its social media pages, including LinkedIn and Facebook.
