Sep 17, Kathmandu- "Avatar" and "Titanic" film director James Cameron is going to direct the story film "Last Train from Hiroshima" about Japanese survivors of nuclear tragedy.

For this, the Oscar-winning filmmaker has purchased the adaptation rights of Charles Pellegrino's upcoming book 'Ghosts of Hiroshima', according to Deadline. He wants the book to be turned into a feature film.

According to the news, Cameron will include stories from Pellegrina's two books 'Ghosts of Hiroshima' and 'Last Train from Hiroshima'. He will join this project after working on 'Avatar', which is being prepared for the fourth series.

The film will present the painful true story of Japanese people who survived the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War. Pellegrino's book explores the experiences of survivors and provides an archeological overview of the disastrous August 1945 event.

It is estimated that between 1.5 million and 2.46 thousand people were killed in the nuclear bomb blasts in those two locations. After 'Titanic', which was released in 1997, Cameron is going to work in a film other than 'Avatar' for the first time.
