What story even is there to tell? Company cut corners and created a deathtrap, people went on it, two hours later they blew up.

I would kind of want to dunk on him, but after Avatar 2 came out and made a bajillion dollars, he's kind of earned some "f*** you, told you so" room, if he is indeed interested in doing this. It's at least connected to an area of interest for him, so it's not implausible it could be interesting. He seems to have made it his personal responsibility to denounce OceanGate's shoddy practices and assure the general public that this is the first time a submersible has ever had a fatal accident, which is why I could see him throwing his weight behind a miniseries or movie that would essentially act as a piece of "This is a safe industry, really" infotainment.

He also has a disgust for the continued exploitation of the Titanic wreck, too, so that might also play into it, if he does go this route.

True, but few people have exploited the wreck of that ship for personal profit and fame to the extent of James Cameron, so it would be somewhat hypocritical of him.

In a non-tested competition I'd go with Team Stoned. Woods and Sheen have all the drugs, while Schwarzenegger only has the relaxing ones.

Given his track record Woods probably thinks the sub imploded because it got vaccinated.

That's what happens when you cut corners on safety.

Wish I could say a more reliable source led with this, but I can believe it. There's always THAT GUY to make some rumor. They were better off saying Italy will make one themselves and it will be a sequel to animated Titanic musical Considering there are three of these movies, I fear someone will make one: Oceangate The Animated Musical

Cameron already dealt with undersea implosions in The Abyss.

Never forget that Metro are part of the Daily Mail Group, their parent newspaper is banned as a source on Wikipedia for their habit of just making sh*t up.

I'm glad the passengers didn't see all of the memes making jokes about them dying. My God, that's just disturbing

We have officially reached the "Tabloid media trots out people with a grudge to say wild shit" and I'm here for it.
