Well, he just touched bottom a few minutes ago. Can't wait to see some footage. I've always liked his movies but really respect him for this. Not only has he made 72 dives including 12 to film Titanic, he designed the submersible he's in.

[sspirits]

What an astonishing feat to have descended into the planet's deepest recess! :)

[Kurozumi]

Congrats James! I'm happy for you. Hope you come back safe and sound.

[ErelfBow]

He is a director of many masterpieces and now this discovery

[TheOmmoJommo]

Holy... i would be that scared to go under that darkness and the deepness
of that water. And by the way how deep is the water.

[danissac]

[spaz]

This has to be some prep work for Avatar 2. Can't

[SteveSurgenor]

Funny this isn't on the National Geographic channel on the Disney+ app ?

[ShikiraPressley]

When is the film be released? - I honestly have to agree that he is one amazing man to go beyond the abyss: pressure on the submersible will be deathly, no matter how sophisticated sub technology has achieved awards. Few people would have the guts to go that far down if all they have done is dived the deep end of a swimming pool. Ignorance breeds fear and vise-versa, yet he is bringing a wealth of insight into a world that has no true exits.

[cptmuska]

YES! parterning up with national geographic was a great movie I think aswell, something in the world i actualy respect.

[sirma]

It's been over a year now and no documentary out yet. Why? Anything we shouldn't see?
