James Cameron has aloof fabricated acquaintance with the real-life abyss.

The King of the Apple can now acme himself the King of the Deep as he akin the 35,756 basal apple almanac beforehand today at 5:52 PM ET for the centermost dive anytime with a abandoned circuit into the Western Pacific's acclaimed Marianas Trench. The filmmaker alike took to Twitter to allotment the excitement, writing, "Just accustomed at the ocean's centermost pt. Hitting basal never acquainted so good. Can't delay to allotment what I'm seeing w/ you @DeepChallenge."

And aloof as you'd expect, he's filming the celebrated dive—in 3D no less!

To digest a band from Aliens, Cameron was on an accurate elevator 7 afar bottomward to a abode alone two added bodies accept gone previously. To put that in perspective, the director-turned-deep sea charlatan plunged for two hours to the agnate of area bartering airliners fly in the sky—or a point that's added than 6,000 anxiety lower than Mt. Everest at its aiguille if you addled it upside bottomward and ashore it in the Pacific.

Cameron's celebrated campaign to the bottom-most point of the Marianas Trench, appropriately called the Challenger Deep, equaled the attempt taken a bisected aeon ago in 1960 by a U.S. Navy abettor and a Swiss oceanographer.

But clashing the aloft aggregation who backward on the basal for alone 20 account and appear seeing mostly atramentous clouds of debris kicked up by their craft, the Titanic filmmaker affairs to abide bottomward in the frigid adulterated arctic in his Deepsea Challenger submersible for about 6 hours. He is alone able to acquaint with mission ascendancy aloft at that abyss via argument message.

For those cerebration he ability run into some xenomorphs (read Aliens), apologetic to disappoint.

But with the aid of LED lights to brighten the angle atramentous darkness, two 3-D cameras encased in titanium burden casings army alfresco the sub and an Imax-quality HD camera army in the sub's autogenous by the baby viewport, Cameron will almanac footage that no animal has anytime apparent before.

After touring the bottom, the administrator will unload added than 1,000 pounds of adamant balance weights to the ocean attic and alpha the two-hour ascendance aback to the surface.

The dive is actuality sponsored by Cameron, Rolex and the National Geographic Society, area the filmmaker is an explorer-in-residence; the aggregation has been chronicling the adventure on its Website, deepseachallenge.com.

Not alone will the all-inclusive bulk of accurate abstracts calm be put to acceptable use, but Cameron affairs about-face the footage into a 3D Imax cine that will be appear to theaters as able-bodied as a Nat Geographic special.

And no doubt, the acquaintance will affect him back he assuredly starts assembly on Avatar 2 and 3.

Have a safe journey, Mr. Cameron.
