James Cameron is already planning what he will do after "Avatar".
The director has bought the rights to the upcoming book "Ghosts of Hiroshima" (Ghosts Of Hiroshima) and intends to direct a feature adaptation of the atomic bomb story, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter, quoted by NOVA.
„Ghosts of Hiroshima” by author Charles Pellegrino will be released in August 2025 and follows his 2015 book The Last Train from Hiroshima, which will also serve as the basis for the film.
Cameron's film partly follows the true story of then-29-year-old engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi, credited as the sole survivor of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II.
Yamaguchi was on business in Hiroshima on August 6 when the city was bombed. The next day he returned to Nagasaki, surviving the explosion on August 9.
