I ended the headline with a question mark… because the “update” is coming from Screenrant, quoting producer, Jon Landau. And it’s more him waxing poetic about the technology in the AVATAR movies than talking about progress on a sequel. But judge for yourself, and check out the quote below.
I think what we’ve learned from Avatar is how much more facial nuance and subtlety that we can get into characters that we want to be emotional and emote that are humanoid. Alita would not have been possible, but for what we did on Avatar. Avatar: Way of Water would not be what it is but what we did for Alita. And now let’s put that back and give it back to Alita. We’re talking to Robert and talking to Rosa and all is good.
But the main takeaway here is that supposedly “talks” are happening with director, Robert Rodriguez, and star, Rosa Salazar. As far as when those talks may develop, or something will progress? Well, that’s anyone’s guess. As with most things Hollywood, all about scheduling. Rodriguez alone has 5 movies in various stages of development, as well as Salazar, currently in production on a movie, A MILLION MILES AWAY.
Safe to say though, despite talks, an ALITA sequel may not be happening anytime soon.
But have you seen ALITA? Did you think it was adapted faithfully from the manga and anime? Are you hoping for a sequel? Drop your thoughts on the Fuzzybug Facebook Page today.
