CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

James Cameron has visited the wreckage of the Titanic more than 30 times and directed an Oscar-winning romance about the doomed vessel — but he’s not planning on exploring the latest disaster connected to the ship that couldn’t sink.

The director has denied rumors that he is in talks to helm a feature about the OceanGate submarine that is believed to have imploded on a deep sea voyage to explore the Titanic wreck, killing its five passengers.

Cameron, of course, has his hands full with the population of Pandora, currently tinkering away on a third “Avatar” entry after the superlative box office success of “The Way of Water.” The threequel is set to hit theaters on Dec. 19, 2025, with two more follow-ups slated to follow after.

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.
