Titanic director James Cameron is probably just going to stick with documentaries about the 100-year-old sunken ship, thank you very much. On Saturday morning, Cameron took to Twitter to end any circulating rumors that he may create a film about the OceanGate submersible tragedy from last month. “I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now,†wrote Cameron in reference to rumors from earlier this week. “I’m NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be.†The Sun reported that Cameron was allegedly approached by an unnamed streamer to direct a series on the Titan submersible that was headed to see the Titanic, but Cameron did not let those rumors linger for very long. In addition to being a critically acclaimed film director, Cameron is also a deep-sea-diving expert who has been down to Titanic more than 30 times, which made people think that he would be the man for the job if a project were to be made on the tragedy. However, the subject seems too close to Cameron’s heart; he’ll probably stay at least an ocean away from any rumors due to the severity of the event. Besides, he’s too busy working on the upcoming Alita: Battle Angel sequels to focus on another intense project.
