The follow-up to the blockbuster hit Avatar will start production in New Zealand this year.
Director James Cameron is set to start filming the first of three Avatar sequels in April, which are scheduled to be released one year after the other.
The first sequel was supposed to come out

According to My Entertainment World, the film will start shooting in California's Manhattan Beach and New Zealand.
