James Cameron to Direct WWII Drama 'Last Train From Hiroshima'

The film will explore the harrowing true story of a man who survived both atomic bombings in Japan, based on Charles Pellegrino's books.

James Cameron has acquired the rights to Charles Pellegrino's books 'Last Train From Hiroshima' and the upcoming 'Ghosts of Hiroshima'.
The film will focus on Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person officially recognized to have survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
Cameron plans to start production on the film once his commitments to the 'Avatar' franchise allow.
This will be Cameron's first non-'Avatar' feature since 'Titanic' in 1997, marking a significant shift in his filmography.
The project aims to provide a detailed and emotional portrayal of the atomic bombings from the Japanese perspective, incorporating eyewitness accounts and forensic archaeology.
