James Cameron does Werner Herzog proud, blurring the line between filmmaker and adventurer. He's often stated that making Titanic was pretty much an excuse to play around underwater, and make enough money to continue to do so. He's gone the next step, apparently having spent the past 8 years building a sub:

With this sub, he's already set the record for deepest solo dive. He's taking it to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. With, of course, craploads of lights and 3d cameras. The sub is designed to spend 6 hours down there, at the deepest known point in the world, observing, filming, and possibly even retrieving life forms that have never been seen by human eyes.
Possibly waking up Cthulu in the process.
Like his films, hate his films, indifferent to them, you have to admit: James Cameron is pretty damn hardcore! Can't wait to see the footage from this!
