The director has hiredMartin Sheen To narrate the audiobook of Ghosts of HiroshimaA new work by Charles Pellegrino and Cameron plans to adapt the book in a film once Avatar Production allows.

“Martin Sheen is my dream become reality to read this book for audio,” said Cameron. “His vocal narration for Apocalypse now still persecutes me, and for such a dark topic, he will give him the gravitas and the humanity he needs.”

The book, published by Blackstone Publishing on August 5, marking the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.

It tells the incredible true story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a man who survived both atomic bombings in Japan during the Second World War. He lived Hiroshima, climbed on a train to Nagasaki and endured a second nuclear explosion.

“It is a topic that I wanted to make a film, of which I fought to how to do it over the years,” explained Cameron. “I met Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a few days before his death. He was in the hospital. He was delivering the witness of his personal history, so I have to do it. I can’t get away from it.”

And if there is a director who knows how to manage large -scale catastrophe stories with both the show and the heart, it is Cameron. It describes the next film as a “without compromise theatrical film”, which will not avoid the emotional or historical weight of the subject.

The film will mark the first non -Avatar feature film by Cameron from Titanic in 1997. The themes of history are not exactly for him. His fear of nuclear devastation, planted at the age of 8 during the Cuban missile crisis, has long influenced his work since Terminator Film a Aliens .
