Director James Cameron has shut down ‘offensive’ rumours that he’s making an OceanGate film following the recent tragedy surrounding the Titanic-bound submersible.
Last month, an OceanGate submersible became the subject of headlines around the world after it went missing following a 12,500ft dive to the wreckage of the Titanic. Rescue efforts were quickly launched to try and locate the five passengers: OceanGate co-founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and French marine expert Paul Henri-Nageulet. It was hoped that the men could be located before oxygen on the vessel ran out.
Unfortunately, rescue teams soon discovered that the submersible had ‘imploded’ and suffered a ‘catastrophic failure’ killing all of those on-board. The experience had reportedly cost each of the passengers a whopping $250,000. Reports claim that questions had been raised surrounding the safety and durability of the vessels which were seemingly operated using a Logitech gaming controller.

The upcoming third instalment was filmed alongsideThe Way of Waterand is now believed to be in post-production.
