Avatar 2: James Cameron returns to New Zealand to direct long-awaited sequels
Director James Cameron has arrived in New Zealand ahead of production resuming for the Avatar sequels.
Two months after filming came to a halt due to the coronavirus crisis, producer Jon Landau shared a picture as he and Cameron touched down at Wellington International Airport.
Wearing face masks and protective visors, the producer confirmed that they would be self-isolating for 14 days before they begin filming.
“Made it to New Zealand. Our 14-day government supervised self-isolation now begins,” Landau wrote.
Zoe Saldana, who plays Neytiri in the science fiction franchise, commented: “God bless you all!!! Miss you madly!!”
All four sequels are to be filmed in the coming months, with a recent report claiming that the films are costing more than $1bn (£808m) to make.
