Four months after OceanGate’s Titan submersible imploded on its way to see the Titanic, plans have been released for the production of a movie about the incident titled, “Salvaged,” per Deadline.

In June, the submersible became disconnected with its mother ship soon after it departed, and its five-man crew was confirmed dead after debris was discovered four days later, according to Variety.
