Production to resume on Avatar sequels in latest sign that life is anything but normal

With everything in Hollywood except reunions of TV show characters on Zoom still completely shut down, it would normally be a little reassuring to see that production was about to resume on a movie or TV show that didn’t involve people talking on a video chat—but not when the movie in question is an Avatar sequel. Production on those things has been not happening for so long that we’re actually a little more comfortable with them spinning their wheels than we are with people walking around on a set and talking about Unobtanium 2 in front of cameras, but seeing as how ridiculous everything else is in 2020, it makes a bit of absurd sense that the Avatar sequels would be among the first major studio movies to resume production. That seems to be exactly what is happening, with producer Jon Landau recently tweeting a photo from the set of Avatar 2 of some big Avatar boats along with a message about how some of the people working on the movie will be going back to the set in New Zealand “next week.”
