It’s almost hard to believe that 13 years after the original, the list of new film releases finally sees the release of Avatar: the path of water is coming to theaters. Fans of James Cameron’s record-breaking franchise kept their faith despite delays, setbacks, and hardships, and their patience paid off in the days to come. So it seems fitting that some of these fans are also part of the army of Alita: Battle Angel passionate, and her continued inspiration for producer Jon Landau couldn’t have come at a better time.
While our Sean O’Connell was talking to Landau during 20th century studies print day for Avatar: the path of water, the potential sequel to director Robert Rodriguez’s cult film has delivered quite an interesting story. When asked about the efforts for the next chapter, Landau told Gossipify the following:
We are one day closer, by definition. Just two weeks ago, Robert and I were talking about Alita. This is something we want to continue. I just told a story to someone first thank you Alita Army! I returned to Los Angeles on a random trip, where I had been in New Zealand for a few years. I open the Los Angeles Times, first thing there? There is an announcement from Alita Army about the making of the sequel. I couldn’t have timed it better. Did I send it to everyone at Disney? Absolutely, I did.
Imagine a group of Disney executives receiving an email with Jon Landau’s picture Alita: Battle Angel The announcement is something that is sure to bring a smile to fans around the world. If anyone in that position thought they could escape the hype by continuing this trilogy, Landau proved that his high-ranking support for the cause made it that little bit more implausible.
For those who haven’t followed little wing Spurred by the sequel, in September Alita’s Army ran the ad in the Los Angeles Times that Jon Landau had mentioned. As awareness campaigns through Alita: Battle Angel – themed billboards the art of Alita: Battle Angel The original theatrical version has been edited to deliver that message loud and clear.
Landau doesn’t just talk a lot about supporting Alita’s army. Throughout his social media presence, it can be seen that the support of him from the fans is as strong as it has been since day one. The ultimate piece of evidence, of course, was his reaction to the post discussed above, which you can see for yourself:
If there is a patron saint for the hypothetical sequel Alita: fallen angel, must be San Jon himself. Even without directly mentioning the film adaptation based on the work of writer/artist Yukito Kishiro, Jon Landau provided hopeful updates which indicate a desire to return to this particular world. And he’s not the only one trying to put Doc Ido’s cyber-girl back in the spotlight. Earlier this year, Rosa Salazar was just as determined do a little wing sequel, with Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron also named as equally enthusiastic co-conspirators.
Promote the pursuit of Alita: Battle Angel Epic storytelling isn’t a problem that’s going away anytime soon. Even if fans were to give up hope entirely, a storyline that truly pushes the definition of science fiction, Jon Landau and his collaborators would likely continue to fight. If fans can wait more than a decade for a large number of Avatars after the fact, then you can bet his resolve is equal to, if not stronger than, that faith when applied to aa little wing continuation.
Fingers crossed it won’t take long to get the green light, by then Avatar: the path of water anticipated success could spur those efforts into a big win. The film opens in theaters Thursday afternoon, so anyone who wants to continue championing Alita’s cause can help boost box office numbers this weekend.
