New photos have appeared online of James Cameron’s new movie Avatar 2. The images highlight the underwater technology being using to film the sequel.

However, for the time being, the film is continuing “virtual” production.

Friends actor Matt LeBlanc’s latest show Man With A Plan has unfortunately been cancelled. It’s the story of a contractor who starts spending more time at home when his wife goes back to work.

Also, the current quarantine guidelines mean that filming on the original Friends reunion can’t take place – so HBO Max has been forced to delay the special beyond its initial launch date, indefinitely.
