James Cameron is shutting down an unverified report from a British tabloid claiming he’s planning to make a movie about the Titan submersible tragedy.
Earlier this week, The Sun reported that the director was in discussions with “one of the world’s biggest streamers” to produce a “major series” about the accident, in which five people — OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeole, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman — were killed when the submersible imploded during a tourist excursion to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

Cameron, however, is refuting the report completely, going so far as to call the entire notion “offensive” to him.
