In the world of Avatar: The Way of Water and the sequels that are set to follow, secrecy is key. Just ask production designer Ben Procter and the design team who, back in 2013, set to work on designing the worlds of the Avatar sequels without completed scripts. And yet, there’s plenty of information to be gleaned from both Procter’s past and present, as his work on the sequels to one of the best sci-fi movies, The Matrix, helped inform the construction of a potentially key set for the future. The best part is, we’ve already seen this location in action.
