James Cameron Hands THE DIVE To Martin Campbell

I'm disappointed that James Cameron won't be able to make one of his passions in the story about the true love tragedy of free divers Audrey Mestre and Francisco "Pippin" Ferraras. Looks like he has handed over the ballast to Martin Campbell (GREEN LANTERN, CASINO ROYALE).

Clearly Cameron is totally swamped right now with his scientific Mariana Trench dive and the pending mega productions of AVATAR 2 and 3.

Apparently the writing duties have also been handed over to J. Michael Straczynski (CHANGLING) who will co-write with Campbell. Cameron had Laeta Kalogridis write the first go at it.
