James Cameron is about to launch one of the Greatest Shows on Earth - Avatar The Way of Water has just had its first sneak previews in the Northern Hemisphere.
We have a vested interest in New Zealand of course - much of the film was shot and produced here.
When director James Cameron and producer Jon Landau brought the sequel to Avatar here in 2018, they decided to train and mentor a group of would-be film-makers across all aspects of production. Over 36 interns and apprentices were selected for a wide range of disciplines - from lighting, costumes and cameras to set design and production accounts.
So what was it like to be dropped into the biggest film in the world? Simon Morris talks to Dylan Patel, who joined the Camera Department, Shona Ward, a Costume intern and Robyn Bryant from the Music Department.
Avatar The Way of Water opens around New Zealand on 15 December.
