Netflix drops trailer for sub implosion docufilm
In a trailer released recently, Netflix confirmed that the documentary Titan: The OceanGate Disaster will be available for streaming from June 11. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the film is headed to the Tribeca Festival on June 6, days before its premiere. Directed by Mark Monroe, the feature follows the 2023 underwater implosion of Titan, a submersible operated by American tourism and expeditions company OceanGate. It offers insights into the mindset of CEO Stockton Rush, who piloted the Titan but breathed his last after the submersible malfunctioned. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster is produced by Monroe, Lily Garrison, and Jon Bardin, with Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan, Kate Barry, Mala Chapple, Tommy Coriale, Jude Gerard Prest, Hannah Olson, and Amy Herdy onboard as executive producers. The film employs whistleblower testimony, audio recordings, and footage from the company's beginnings to revisit the voyage to the wrecked Titanic that resulted in the deaths of five people, including Pakistani father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. "There was no way of knowing when Titan was going to fail. But it was a mathematical certainty that it would fail," an individual says in the trailer. Another says of the CEO, "I thought Stockton was a borderline psychopath. How do you manage a person like that who owns the company?" Carrying a pilot and four passengers, the submersible went missing in June 2023 with all individuals, including British explorer Hamish Harding and French diver Paul Henri Nargeolet, confirmed to be dead soon after. The BBC recently obtained footage from the US Coast Guard's investigation, which captured the sound of the submersible imploding. The footage shows Wendy Rush, the CEO's wife, hearing a sound from her position on the sub's support ship. "What was that bang?" she asks. After receiving a delayed message, she mistakenly believes that there's no cause for concern, not knowing that everyone onboard is dead. Later this year, the US Coast Guard is expected to publish a report on the findings from the investigation, which will assess the shortcomings and how such a tragedy can be prevented in the future.

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster OTT Release Date - When and where to watch docu on failed expedition of Titanic
Titan: The OceanGate Disaster OTT Release Date - In June 2023, five people boarded a deep-sea submersible called Titan, hoping to see the Titanic wreck in person, and they never came back. What was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime - a $250,000 ticket to the ocean's most famous graveyard - ended in a catastrophic implosion, miles below the surface. In under two hours, the Titan vanished. In four days, it became the most talked-about mystery in the world. Now, Netflix brings the full story to the surface in its chilling new documentary Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, which drops on June 11. What is Titan: The OceanGate Disaster all about? You've heard the headlines. Now hear what they left out. Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Mark Monroe, this film dives into OceanGate's secretive world, a private company led by Stockton Rush, who styled himself as the Elon Musk of the deep. The documentary pulls together internal emails, unseen footage, and interviews with whistleblowers who warned, long before the disaster, that Titan was a ticking time bomb. Titan wasn't like other deep-sea subs. Traditional ones use titanium. Titan used carbon fibre, a move Rush defended as 'disruptive innovation.' Engineers told him it was reckless, and he ignored them. The film lays bare how OceanGate bent and sometimes broke the rules of deep-sea travel. Safety tests were skipped, and all concerns were silenced. All in pursuit of becoming the first company to commercialise extreme ocean tourism. Former employees, submarine experts, and even passengers who backed out of earlier trips share stories that feel like warnings from a horror movie. One engineer said riding Titan was like "getting inside a bomb made of Play-Doh." The problem? No one wanted to listen until it was too late. Who was inside, and what happened eventually? On board were five men: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, and French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. Each believed they were part of something historic. Instead, their journey became a global cautionary tale. One hour and 45 minutes into the descent, Titan lost contact with its mother ship. Search teams raced against time and oxygen in a four-day media storm. But hope faded fast. Eventually, the U.S. Navy confirmed what experts feared: the sub had imploded almost instantly under pressure, the equivalent of 6,000 elephants stomping on a soda can. Everything that made Titan "innovative" turned out to be exactly what made it deadly. OceanGate shut down operations shortly after. Lawsuits, investigations, and public outrage followed. The documentary shows how a company that sold 'cutting-edge adventure' collapsed under the weight of its own negligence.

Fatal Submarine OceanGate Trip Gets Netflix Documentary from ‘Britney v Spears' and ‘Gone Girls' Filmmakers — Watch Trailer
After giving the world two years to breathe following the devastating, fatal OceanGate tragedy, Netflix is releasing a documentary about what went wrong underwater. 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' hails from Story Syndicate, the producing team behind 'Gone Girls' and 'Britney v Spears.' Mark Monroe directs the feature which will premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 6 before streaming on Netflix June 11. The Titan submersible was voyaging to the ruins of the Titanic in June 2023. All of the members onboard died. The submersible was operated by American sea tourism and expedition company OceanGate; the Titan went missing for four days while carrying five passengers, including OceanGate CEO Rush. On June 22, debris of the vessel was discovered on the ocean floor. More from IndieWire A24 Scales Back Documentary Division and Lays Off 5 Employees 'The Wonderers' Review: Mélanie Laurent-Starring French Family Drama Nails the Uncertainty of Living with a Severe Disability The synopsis for the doc reads: ''Titan: The Oceangate Disaster' delves into the psyche of billionaire OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and explores his relentless quest to bring oceanic exploration to the masses — at any cost. Through exclusive access to whistleblower testimony, pivotal audio recordings, and footage from the company's early days, the film provides an unprecedented look at the technical challenges, moral dilemmas, and shockingly poor decisions that culminated in the catastrophic expedition. Titan examines the doomed underwater endeavor that forced the world to reconsider the price of unchecked ambition in the depths of the ocean.' Lily Garrison, Mark Monroe, and Jon Bardin produce, with Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan, Kate Barry, Mala Chapple, Tommy Coriale, Jude Gerard Prest, Hannah OIson, and Amy Herdy executive producing. 'Titanic' director James Cameron previously criticized OceanGate's handling of the Titan expedition. In July 2023, the filmmaker denied a false report that he was developing a project based on the Titan submersible explosion. He called the rumor 'offensive.' Cameron had previously issued a statement on the tragedy criticizing late CEO Rush and OceanGate for their reckless safety practices. 'I'm struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result, and for a very similar tragedy, where warnings went unheeded, to take place at the same exact site, with all the diving that's going on all around the world, I think it's just astonishing,' Cameron said. 'It's really quite surreal, and of course, PH [Paul-Henry Nargeolet], the French legendary submersible dive pilot, is a friend of mine. It's a very small community. I've known PH for 25 years. For him to have died tragically in this way is almost impossible for me to process.' 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' premieres on Netflix June 11. Check out the trailer below.
