National Geographic’s DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D. A documentary feature film about the historic expedition which took world renowned film director James Cameron (the creator of Titanic, Avatar, The Abyss) on the first-ever solo dive to the deepest place on the planet; Mariana Trench – in the submersible DEEPSEA CHALLENGER that was built in Sydney, Australia is hitting cinemas August 21 and James Cameron himself will be attending a Q&A Screening in Sydney. Check out the press release below.
We are delighted to confirm James Cameron (expedition leader, submersible pilot & co-designer and executive producer of DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D) will be in Sydney to support the release of the film on the 8th and 9th August accompanied by members of the remarkable Australian science, engineering and filmmaking team; Ray Quint (co-director), Ron Allum (submersible co-designer) and John Garvin (co-writer/diving officer).
As a boy, James Cameron dreamed of a journey to the deepest part of the ocean. DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D offers a rare glimpse into this realisation and the dedication and passion he shared with the mission’s international team against all odds to take on the seemingly impossible task— designing a sub that could withstand the crushing pressure almost 36,000 feet down pushing against the absolute limits of material science to better understand the secrets of the oceans deep and accomplishing this first-ever scientific exploration.
