James Cameron is set to direct a new film titled Last Train From Hiroshima, based on Charles Pellegrino’s books Ghosts of Hiroshima and Last Train From Hiroshima. Cameron, known for his iconic works in film, including Titanic and the Avatar series, is planning to work on this project when his schedule allows between Avatar productions. The film aims to depict the harrowing true story of a survivor of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, drawing deeply from real survivor accounts. This project has been a long time coming for Cameron, who first expressed interest in adapting the material back in 2010 but faced setbacks due to controversies surrounding Pellegrino's earlier work.

When will James Cameron start working on Last Train From Hiroshima?

Cameron will begin working on Last Train From Hiroshima when his schedule permits between the ongoing Avatar productions, but specific timelines remain unclear due to his commitments to sequels.

James Cameron's last non-Avatar film was Titanic, released in 1997, which won numerous awards and set box office records. His return to non-franchise filmmaking has generated excitement among fans, especially considering the sensitive and impactful subject matter of nuclear warfare and its consequences addressed in Last Train From Hiroshima.
