James Cameron is planning to make a Last Train From Hiroshima movie. Whilst he is still working on a bunch of Avatar sequels, Cameron has previously discussed wanting to turn the 2015 Charles Pellegrino novel, Last Train From Hiroshima, into a feature film. Deadline now reports that Cameron has purchased the rights to Pellegrino’s forthcoming book Ghost of Hiroshima, which will be published in 2025.
Deadline is also reporting that Cameron plans to adapt both novels into one “uncompromising theatrical film” that “he will shoot as soon as Avatar production permits.” The movie will be called Last Train From Hiroshima.
“The film focuses in part on the true story of a Japanese man during World War II who survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima, got on a train to Nagasaki, and then survived the nuclear explosion in that city,” Deadline’s description for the feature reads.
