Titanic film director James Cameron denies rumours linking him to OceanGate film
- Five people were killed when OceanGate’s Titan submersible imploded during a voyage to the Titanic wreckage last month
- The Oscar-winning director said on Saturday: ‘I’m NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be’
Director James Cameron has confronted false rumours that claimed he was linked to a film about the fatal implosion of the Titan submersible that killed all five people on board during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck.
The Hollywood filmmaker, who directed 1997 Oscar-winning film Titanic with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, quashed reports about his involvement in the development of an OceanGate film on Saturday.
On Twitter, the 68-year-old wrote: “I don’t respond to offensive rumours in the media usually, but I need to now.
“I’m NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be.”
Cameron, who has visited the wreckage of the famous ocean liner 33 times, was outspoken last month when the Titan submersible lost contact with tour operator OceanGate Expeditions an hour and 45 minutes into the two-hour descent to the wreckage.
