Cameron: "Avatar 2" can be released as scheduled

In March of this year, affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, the filming and production of the "Avatar" series in New Zealand, which had been delayed again, was "postponed indefinitely", making the majority of fans very "desperate": Now Card God has another excuse!

However, the good news is that what everyone feared did not happen. In a recent interview with foreign media, James Cameron said that he was optimistic that "Avatar 2" would be released as scheduled in December 2021. While the live-action shooting was suspended, all work, including special effects, that could help the film be released on schedule was being pushed forward as much as possible.

"This has put a major damper on our progress. I want to go back and continue working on the Avatar series, but due to the national emergency laws, we can't do that right now. So everything is suspended now. We were supposed to shoot in New Zealand, and then it was postponed. We're trying to get back there as soon as possible," Cameron said in the interview.

The good news is that the epidemic in New Zealand is now under very good control (1,490 confirmed cases, 1,347 cured, 21 deaths), new epidemic prevention policies have been introduced, and film crews are allowed to resume work.

"It's very possible that our filming will be delayed by a few months, but we'll be able to release it on schedule. So that's good news... Everyone at Weta Workshop and Lightstorm is working as hard as they can from home. My job is to do virtual cameras on stage and so on, so I'm able to do some editing work as well," Cameron added.
