Cameron to star in 3-D documentary about deep sea expedition, record ocean dives

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – James Cameron will star in his next big-screen adventure, a chronicle of the expedition on which he made record-setting ocean dives.

Cameron says he plans a TV special for National Geographic and a 3-D theatrical release on the Deepsea Challenger missions, which included his 7-mile (11-kilometre) descent to the ocean’s deepest point in the Marianas Trench in the western Pacific. It was the deepest solo dive ever.
