Producer Jon Landau recently spoke to the New Zealand Herald, stating that the delay on a segment of production right now is indefinite. The producer then added that the production of Avatar will instead be concentrated on visual effects work at Weta Digital. He further added that the situation will be monitored and the best interests of the “Avatar family will be considered”. An anonymous crew member for the sequels also told The Herald that everything was still “up in the air.” The four Avatar sequels are being developed by Landau and Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment with the first two sequels being targeted to be finished by the end of 2020. In this tumult, it is difficult to discern whether these projects will be able to meet their marks as the rates of postponed productions continue to snowball. Pandora’s Box is now open, and it ain’t so pretty for the industry.
