An OceanGate tragedy movie is already in the works.

The movie will be titled Salvaged, and will focus on the events before, during, and after the five-day tragedy, which made headlines over one week in mid-June.

The OceanGate Titan submersible went missing on June 18, and it set off a huge search for the vessel, which was occupied by five people – Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and CEO of the company, Stockton Rush.

Remains of the wreckage were found near the Titanic just days later, which the vessel was going to view at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Here’s all that occurred during the tragedy.

“The Titan Tragedy is yet another example of a misinformed and quick-to-pounce system, in this case, our nonstop, 24-7 media cycle that convicts and ruins the lives of so many people without any due process,” Jonathan Keasey, who co-wrote the pic, shared in a statement.

He added, “Our film will not only honor all those involved in the submersible tragedy, and their families, but the feature will serve as a vessel that also addresses a more macro concern about the nature of media today.”

“Truth is all that matters. And the world has a right to know the truth, always, not the salacious bait crammed down our throats by those seeking their five minutes of fame. Life is not black and white. It’s complicated. There’s nuance. Always nuance.”

While this movie will be made, there’s one filmmaker (who many thought would make a film from it) who will not.
