With filming underway in Belfast, Kevin Zegers, Chris Noth, Derek Jacobi and Neve Campbell are in various stages of negotiations to join the 12-part British miniseries Titanic: Blood & Steel.

T:B&S chronicles the construction of the Titanic, beginning in Edwardian Belfast in the early 1900s and illustrating how one of history’s greatest sea vessels was hand-made in a city on the brink of revolution.

As per Deadline:

Zegers, repped by ICM and Untitled, will play Mark Muir, the metallurgist on the world’s greatest shipbuilding project who discovers potentially fatal flaws in the quality of metal being used to build the Titanic. Noth is expected to play financier J.P. Morgan; Jacobi — Lord William Pirrie, chairman of the company that built the ill-fated liner, and Campbell — a reporter covering the liner’s maiden voyage. Directed by Ciaran Donnelly and written by Mark Skeet, Matthew Faulk and Alan Whiting, Titanic: Blood & Steel is produced by De Angelis Group, Take 5 Prods. and Epos Films.

Titanic: Blood & Steel is yet to acquire U.S. distribution. Given its seriable potential we’ll keep an eye on how it progresses.

Here’s the trailer for the 1998 Titanic movie:
