James Cameron is a name known across the globe as he is the man behind the all-time superhit films like Titanic and Avatar. The filmmaker, who is currently riding high with the success of his third over $2 billion film Avatar: The Way of Water, has shared that he is waiting to direct his pet project, the adaptation of The Last Train From Hiroshima.
The famed director revealed that he wants to make this film before the fourth film in the Avatar franchise comes out. For those who don’t know, Cameron has been keen to adapt the book, The Last Train From Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back, by author Charles R Pellegrino. For the same, James had also spoken to the late Tsutomu Yamaguchi – the only known survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Read on to know all he had to say.
During a recent interaction with The Los Angeles Times, filmmaker James Cameron got candid about taking out time from the production of Avatar 4 for the adaptation of The Last Train From Hiroshima. Stating that he feels it is necessary to make the film – especially with the war in Ukraine and resurgent nationalism in the US, he said, “We live in a more precarious world than we thought we did. I think the Hiroshima film would be as timely as ever, if not more so. It reminds people what these weapons really do when they’re used against human targets.”
