More ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL film*s*. Note plural.

Constant Reader acat alerted us earlier that more than one ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL sequels are apparently being worked on. Via ScreenRant, the quote being passed around, right out of James Cameron’s mouth: ““And on Avatar, I’m working in Wellington and Los Angeles.

A faint hope offered for an ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL sequel.

A very faint hope. Essentially, ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL director Robert Rodriguez is hoping that the Mouse might be more interested than Fox was in doing something with the IP.

But still. ALITA was a lot of fun. I’d like to go back to that world, even if it was just on the small screen.

Gonna see Alita: Battle Angel today.

I am cautiously optimistic about Alita: Battle Angel . So far, critics are going ‘ehh’ and the viewers are going ‘wow!’ These days, that’s usually a good sign when you’re talking about a popcorn film. I’ll let you folks know how the movie went.

Also, I get to get out of the house! Yay me. It’s been a week.

Haven’t read this particular anime, but: I like the look of Alita: Battle Angel. It has a hard-to-define arua about it that suggests that there may be actual thought behind the film. Or possibly I’m just being seduced by the appearance of actual sunlight in a cyberpunk movie?  Dear God, can we handle this brazen confounding of tradition?

Don’t get me wrong. Blade Runner‘s aesthetic dominated for a reason. But we know that every director out there’s seen Tears in Rain.  Sometimes, let there be natural lighting.
