Those mockbuster makers at The Asylum are teaming up with the Tubi streaming service to bring us a movie that may be twenty-five years late when it comes to cashing in on James Cameron’s Titanic (watch it HERE), but will surely still get extra attention due to the audience’s familiarity with that Cameron film. Deadline reports that the companies are working on a project called Titanic 666, which is set to star AnnaLynne McCord (Excision).
Directed by Nick Lyon from a script written by Jacob Cooney and Jason White, Titanic 666 will tell the following story:
One hundred and ten years after its namesake’s fateful journey, the Titanic III’s maiden voyage will land at the original site of the wreck. Although a faithful replica of the original, this mammoth cruise ship is built with the most advanced technology, ensuring that it has no chance of sinking. But when the Titanic III arrives at the tragic site, strange events begin to occur, as dark forces from the deep rise to the surface, terrorizing all aboard and threatening to repeat one of history’s greatest disasters.

McCord will play Mia Stone, a social media influencer and passenger traveling with her husband. She is joined in the cast by Keesha Sharp (Power Book II: Ghost) as Captain Celeste Rhoades, Captain of the Titanic III leading the ship over the site of the original Titanic disaster; Lydia Hearst (Z Nation) as Idina, a stowaway seeking to avenge the exploitation of the original Titanic victims; and Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica) as Professor Hal Cochran, a passenger on the ship and an artifact collector of the original Titanic ship. Joseph Gatt (Star Trek Into Darkness), Derek Yates (CSI: Vegas), Michael J. Chen (Leaked), Jhey Castles (San Andreas Quake), Kendall Chappell (Witch Hunt), and Giovannie Espiritu (D-Railed) are also in the cast.
Titanic 666 is being produced for Tubi by The Asylum‘s David Michael Latt. Paul Bales is co-producer for The Asylum, and David Rimawi serves as executive producer.
There’s no word on when Tubi expects to release Titanic 666, but we’ll let you know when the premiere date is announced.
