Director James Cameron has a new film in the works. He has obtained the film adaptation rights to Charles Pellegrino’s new book “Ghosts of Hiroshima” (to be published in August next year). He will combine this book with Pellegrino’s book “The Last Train from Hiroshima” published in 2015 to make a new “uncompromising theatrical film,” as he describes it. That is, the original works of this film are two non-fiction books, and the film title remains “The Last Train from Hiroshima.”
In terms of timing, as Cameron will be working on the “Avatar” series in the coming years, he said that as soon as the production schedule of “Avatar” allows, he will start shooting this film.
Part of the story tells the true story of a Japanese man: During World War II, he survived the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima and then took a train to Nagasaki and survived the atomic bomb explosion there as well. The book tells in detail the two atomic bomb explosions and their impacts in August 1945 from the first-person perspective of those who experienced them.
In recent years, Cameron has repeatedly expressed his intention to make this story into a film and has long obtained the adaptation rights to “The Last Train from Hiroshima.”
