James Cameron has set his first post-Avatar movie,Deadlinereports: a World War 2 drama titled Last Train From Hiroshima.
The film will tell the remarkable true story of a Japanese man who survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in 1945, then got on a train to Nagasaki and survived the atomic blast there, too. This will be Cameron’s first non-Avatar project since 1997’s Titanic.
“It’s a subject that I’ve wanted to do a film about, that I’ve been wrestling with how to do it, over the years,” Cameron told Deadline. “I met Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a survivor of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just days before he died. He was in the hospital. He was handing the baton of his personal story to us, so I have to do it. I can’t turn away from it.”
