The sequel to Avatar has finally begun filming some eight years after the release of the original.
The delay to the sequel was to give visionary director James Cameron the opportunity to construct a life-size planet on which the action could take place.
‘Pandora’ has been constructed in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and the actors and production crew left earth last Summer in order to prepare everything for a filming schedule that will stretch to mid-2018.
“CGI is for pussies,” said the famously combative director
“The only way to get this picture to convincingly look as if it’s filmed on an alien planet is to film it on an alien planet, and if the bean-counters in their suits don’t like it, then they’ll have to answer to me, damn it.”
The construction of the planet included all sets, a small village to cater for the cast and crew and several exciting rides that will be used after production has concluded and the planet is turned into the galaxy’s best theme park.
It is understood that the third sequel in the trilogy will begin filming as soon as James Cameron is able to generate life in laboratory conditions and create a race of live Na’vi to perform in the film
