A new film about OceanGate’s Titan submersible tragedy is reportedly in the works despite a wave of backlash on social media.
The project, which is currently filming under the working title ‘Salvage’, is helmed by MindRiot Entertainment and will tell the story of events that occurred before, during and after the incident, reports
“Our film will not only honour 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.” Keasey’s film has sent a ripple of anger across social media, with many X users claiming that it was “too soon” for Hollywood to get involved.“Hopefully a documentary rather than a live-action one – and even a documentary seems kinda too soon,” cringed a second person.“You shouldn’t mock the dead, it’s disrespectful. More disrespectful than dramatising, recreating and then profiting off those dead,” quipped a fourth person.
