3 weeks after the terrible accident that claimed the lives of the passengers of the submarine “Titan” that sank in the Atlantic Ocean during the tourist trip to the wreck of the “Titanic”, the tragedy returns to the fore.
There has been news recently about the participation of the director of the movie “Titanic”, James Cameron, in discussions about the production of a new film dealing with the sinking of the submarine.
I did not and will not!
This came after the British newspaper “The Sun” reported, quoting informed sources, that the possibility of producing a series dealing with the story of the sunken submarine “Titan” is being discussed, noting that Cameron is seen as the main competitor to direct the film. However, the certain answer came from the famous director, as Cameron completely denied the validity of the rumors, confirming via Twitter that he was not involved in any discussions to produce a film about the submarine “Titan” of the “Ocean Gate” company. “And I will never participate,” he stressed. Cameron added that he usually does not comment on rumors spread about him in the media, but this time he sees the need to do so.
I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now. I’m NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be.

A journey that cost them their lives!
It is noteworthy that the crew of the tourist submarine “Titan” had disappeared on June 18 while it was descending to the wreck of the “Titanic”. The passengers on the submarine belonging to the company, “Oceangate”, which operates it, died in the accident. On Wednesday, June 28, the US Coast Guard announced, in a statement, the finding of possible remains of the victims of the submarine that sank in the Atlantic Ocean during the cruise to the wreck of the “Titanic.” On board the submarine were the head of the company organizing the trip, Stockton Rush, the millionaire of Pakistani origin, Shahzada Daoud, and his son Suleiman Dawood, as well as the British billionaire Hamish Harding, who resides in Dubai, and the French explorer Paul Henry Nargolet, on a trip that cost each of them a quarter of a million dollars. And most importantly, his life.
