Recently, filmmaker James Camerontraveled to the deepest part of the ocean to film for two separate projects. He dived to the deepest recesses of the ocean, an area called Challenger Deep, in the Marina Trench, a point nearly 7 miles beneath the surface. This was the first dive to this area of the ocean since the US Navy sent 2 divers down for only 20 minutes. Mr. Cameron stayed for three hours, capturing video of this unknown frontier. Using footage from this dive and subsequent dives, Cameron is creating a full length feature film along with a National Geographic special. This concept is very unique and should be very popular due to the unknown nature of the place it documents. It will be interesting to see how the movie is made and presented. Cameron's resume includes movies like Avatar, which also show a completely alien world, but one of fiction. I look forward to seeing this film, because it will really give viewers a glimpse of an area that we know practically nothing about. His expeditions will set a new precedent of going places humans have never been before. The film he's creating on the topic will allow everyone to experience the sea floor as he did on the expedition. --JackRulez
