. In an unusual move for the famed director, Cameron took to social media on Saturday to shut down those rumors once and for all.
"I don't respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now," he wrote in an Instagram Story."I'm NOT in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be."director's great deal of his own experience making 33 dives down into the depths of the North Atlantic to see the infamous wreckage of the Titanic seemingly made him the obvious choice. But it's not happening and, as Cameron underscored, it'll never happen.
The Titan submersible took a five-person crew on a dive to explore the wreckage site of the Titanic on June 18, but quickly went missing. The crew included an operator and four"mission specialists" -- a term used by OceanGate Expeditions for its passengers, who each paid $250,000 per seat for the experience.
The tourist sub lost contact with the Polar Prince research ship an hour and 45 minutes after submerging in an area approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, in the North Atlantic, where the ocean reaches a depth of around 13,000 feet.
"I let all of my inner circle of people know that we had lost our comrades, and I encouraged everybody to raise a glass in their honor on Monday," Cameron recalled."Then I watched over the ensuing days this whole sort of everybody-running-around-with-their-hair-on-fire search, knowing full well that it was futile."This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
