A small Avatar 2 crew is heading back to New Zealand to complete filming on the first sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 box office smash. They will reportedly enter a two-week quarantine period before production restarts on the long-in-gestation movie.
Producer Jon Landau confirmed the move in a new interview with Rnz, where he explained that the country’s excellent response to the Covid-19 pandemic has allowed work on Avatar 2 to resume more quickly than on other projects.
“We feel very comfortable because of the actions of [the Nz] government and also the responsibility the people took to really curb the virus there,” he said. “So we feel we’re coming back to the safest place in the world possible thanks to a team of people that we’ve worked with. We believe we have a very thoughtful, detailed and diligent safety plan that will keep everybody as safe as possible in these unprecedented times.
