James Cameron is ready to direct a drama series about the tragedy of the submarine Titan in the Atlantic, where the five passengers lost their lives.
As The Sun reports, the director of Titanic is in talks to bring to the screen the tragic story of the submarine that sparked global interest a few weeks ago.
According to sources, a streaming platform approached the acclaimed director, who has explored the Titanic by submarine 30 times, to tell the story in his own unique way. The source said the submarine tragedy is being tackled for one of the world’s biggest streaming platforms and James is the first choice for the director’s position.
“He told the story of the Titanic with such compassion that it seems like a natural step for him to do so,” said the same source.
Among the names heard to be considered for the role of the protagonist are Hollywood star Matt Damon and comedian Kumail Nanjiani.
