I thought the first movie was pretty bad it had good visuals but that was pretty much it, so i have no interest in Avatar 2

Cameron should finally make a Blu-Ray of True Lies. It's more important than his blue rats.

The production seems to be pissing off the locals. Well that's ironic. TEXT: The Avatar 2 production is causing drama in New Zealand. James Cameron and crew were recently granted access back into the country and arrived shortly afterwards. Cameron and the rest of the crew are in the middle of their 2-week mandatory quarantine and will be able to get back to the studio in less than a week from now. However, many New Zealand residents and owners in other industries aren't exactly happy about having the production resume since it seems to highlight some "political favoritism." New Zealand is one of the first countries to attempt to go back to business as usual, though their borders are still shutdown to make sure they are stable. With that being said, Hollywood productions and other industries need waivers from the government to cross the border and get back to work, which Avatar 2 was granted. Other industries have had a hard time getting these waivers in order to get back to work. ACT Leader David Seymour called the move "an insult to working New Zealanders." He had this to say. "What are the rules at the border? At the moment, it seems that if you're a friend of the Government, you're in business. If not, you're on your own. There should be one rule for everyone... It's unacceptable for politicians to be picking and choosing who can enter the country." It has been reported that nine out ten of the New Zealand border waivers are denied. Avatar 2 had no problem getting theirs because it's a massive production that will bring a lot of jobs to locals and inject some much needed money into the economy. National Party economic development spokesperson Judith Collins says she isn't opposed to the Avatar 2 crew's border exemption being granted, noting that the economy needs all the help it can get. However, she believes there should be clearer regulations. Collins explains. "It certainly would seem some are not getting that same treatment. There must be a lot of small businesses wondering if there are different rules for different people... why does this particular venture get preferential treatment?" Another big and unnamed Hollywood production has its eyes set on shooting in New Zealand, but they have threatened to pull the plug unless they can get a timely border waiver for the entire crew. Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment's Iain Cossar says both productions were given the go ahead since they both, "met the criteria, providing employment to around 600 New Zealanders, and because of the significant level of economic activity from each production." It seems that the larger industries are having no problems getting the necessary waiver to get back to work in New Zealand, but the smaller businesses that depend on outside travel are having some major trouble. It is unclear how much longer New Zealand will keep its border shut down, but it has certainly benefitted them quite a bit since they have not reported any new cases in over two weeks, which is in stark contrast to other countries like the United States. Stuff was the first to report on the Avatar 2 production drama. movieweb.com/avatar-2-production-drama-new-zealand-political-favoritism/

I didn't know or forgot Kate Winslet was gonna be in this. She was pretty outspoken about Cameron being a dick to work with. Sa, Worthington is starting to look like George Costanza.

I remember having looked forward to this back in 2011, when the movie was supposed to come out in 2014. Good times...

Jim gathered the crew to show them three scenes with near finished visual effects from Weta Digital. Everyone was excited and pumped up to get back to work. (see above)

Before we left Los Angeles, we all did a strict 8-day self-isolation and each of the 31 of us traveling had a COVID-19 RT-PCR test with negative results. The flight New Zealand went without any hiccups and we were soon on several different buses to the hotel where we would be quarantined. The check-in was done in a private room with physical distancing practiced the entire time. From there each of us immediately went into our 14-day Managed Isolation alone in our rooms. Today, we completed our Manage Isolation, which included all of us testing negative again for COVID. Now, looking forward to joining our Kiwi crew and getting back into production.

A set photo reveals what's being described as a human base camp.
