James directed the 1997 Oscar-winning disaster movie Titanic, set after the Titanic sank. On Saturday, James tweeted: “I don’t usually respond to negative rumors in the media, but I have to respond now. I’m not and won’t talk about the Ocean Gate movie.”
Fans Responding to James’ comments.
Someone replied to his piece: “They say he’s making a movie about the last Titanic event. It’s a crime not to admit it.
One tweet read: ‘So much respect! “If you don’t, someone else will,” wrote one Twitter user. It could have been worse. Another said, “You’re one of my favorite directors, James Cameron, I never thought you’d be in Ocean Gate, thanks for the clarification.”
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.

James talks about the Titan incident He said that what they did was testing, necessary certificates, etc., to carry passengers.
I was struck by the parallels with the Titanic disaster, where the captain had been warned many times that there was ice ahead of his ship but drove swiftly towards the ice for the moonless night. Many people died this way.
As part of OceanGate Expeditions, Titan documents the decay of the underwater ecosystem in and around Titanic, with annual voyages starting in 2021. The wreckage was discovered during Titan.
OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood, and their sons Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet died in the explosion.
