Last December, Cameron told Variety that motion capture for sequels 2 and 3 had been completed, along with most of the live action footage.
Plus, movie production started to creep back in New Zealand starting in May, so a mid-June shooting date isn’t preposterous.
But an exception was made for Cameron, Landau, and other crew members due to the fact that their work is considered to have “significant economic value.”
Despite the delays, Cameron is still set on a December 2021 release date.
