James Cameron Buys ‘Ghosts Of Hiroshima’ Book And Commits To Film As His Next Project As Soon As ‘Avatar’ Production Permits


James Cameron will make Last Train From Hiroshima, a movie telling the atomic bomb story from the Japanese side, as soon as Avatar production permits.

Pellegrino writes in detail the event and aftermath of two days in August 1945, when nuclear devices detonated over Japan changed life on Earth forever. At the narrative core of both books are eyewitness accounts of those who experienced the atomic explosions firsthand — the Japanese civilians on the ground and the American flyers in the air. Blackstone CEO Josh Stanton said everyone at the imprint “is thrilled and honored to be the publisher of Ghosts of Hiroshima by Charles Pellegrino, which will serve as part of the source material for James Cameron’s epic motion picture.”
