"Titanic" director James Cameron is heading back to the high seas to executive produce a documentary about the mythical island of Atlantis.
The "Avatar" filmmaker, 61, is re-teaming with bosses at National Geographic Channel to develop expedition documentary Search for Atlantis, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Finding the historical and archaeological truth behind the Atlantis myth has always been a fascination of mine," a statement from Cameron reads.
"Our exploration team will investigate several new theories about where the real Atlantis was, who these mysterious people were, and what disaster wiped them from the Earth over three millennia ago."
The two-hour documentary will be shot in Sicily, Malta, Crete, Santorini, Sardinia and off the coast of Spain. It will premiere in the winter.
