MindRiot Entertainment has announced it will make a movie on the Oceangate and the submersible tragedy which left the world shocked this year.
The fiction project currently shares the title Salvaged with MindRiots docuseries, reports Deadline.
The project will be co-written by MindRiots Justin MacGregor and Jonathan Keasey.
The Titan Tragedy is yet another example of a misinformed and quick-to-pounce system, in this case, our nonstop, 24-7 media cycle that convicts and ruins the lives of so many people without any due process, Keasey, a licensed lawyer-turned filmmaker, told Deadline.
Our film will not only honor 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 said.
He added: Truth is all that matters. And the world has a right to know the truth, always, not the salacious bait crammed down our throats by those seeking their five minutes of fame. Life is not black and white. Its complicated. Theres nuance. Always nuance.
OceanGate tragedy
On 18 June 2023, Titan, a submersible operated by American tourism and expeditions company OceanGate, imploded during an expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
On board the submersible were Stockton Rush, the American CEO of OceanGate; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French deep-sea explorer and Titanic expert; Hamish Harding, a British businessman; Shahzada Dawood, a Pakistani-British businessman; and Dawoods son Suleman.
