Staggering budget for James Cameron’s Avatar sequels revealed
Hindustan TimesNew Zealand has lifted lockdown measures preventing films and television shows from shooting. James Cameron’s Avatar sequels, which were in production in New Zealand, can now resume filming. “I want to get back to work on Avatar, which right now we’re not allowed to do under state emergency laws or rules. We’re trying to get back to it as quick as we can.” “On the bright side, New Zealand seems to have been very effective in controlling the virus and their goal is not mitigation, but eradication, which they believe that they can do with aggressive contact tracing and testing,” he explained. “But my work is on the stage doing the virtual cameras and so on, so I can do a bit of editing, but it’s not great for me.” On May 6, the official Avatar Twitter account shared set pictures of Cameron interacting with actors, before they filmed underwater performance capture sequences in a large tank.
